February 1, 2021 By Susannah Fox 9 Comments

Flock of black birds flying together in a blue sky

Amy Dockser Marcus writes with the sensitivity and precision of a scientist, which is why I was thrilled that she recently turned her attention to the patient-led research being conducted by people with LongCovid, which affects an estimated 10-20% of COVID-19 patients.
