What most see only as sewage, Daniel Gerrity sees as an opportunity to collect data.

People can catch COVID-19 twice. That’s the emerging consensus among health experts who are learning more about the possibility that those who’ve recovered from the coronavirus can get it again. So far, the phenomenon doesn't appear to be widespread—with a few hundred reinfection cases reported worldwide—yet those numbers are likely to expand as the pandemic continues.

UNLV researchers have begun doing the dirty work necessary to help fight the coronavirus pandemic led by Associate Professor Edwin Oh.

Helping researchers one flush at a time.
