Although no-one in Lindsay Rimer's family knew it yet, their lives had changed forever.

On a rainy November night Lindsay Rimer walked the short route from her home to a local shop to buy breakfast cereal.

“Science took the lead,” even “in a highly political environment,” Rimer recalls.

Rimer also says Cohen was an excellent communicator during near-daily pandemic press conferences with Governor Roy Cooper.

Barbara Rimer, dean of the UNC school of public health until last year, sat in on early pandemic calls with North Carolina’s governor, Cohen, legislators, and other academics and praises Cohen’s collaborative approach.
