Forker Professor in kinesiology and director of the University Translational Research Network (U-TuRN) at Iowa State.

In recent weeks, the network has put out a call for food and personal hygiene donations, child care for essential workers, such as health care providers and law enforcement, and volunteers for book distribution programs.
