COVID-19 UC Davis Capstone Lab – Town Halls

The COVID-19 pandemic has made demands on our collective resilience that will continue for some time. To answer this call, a group of dedicated instructors in the University of California, Davis, College of Biological Science has designed a virtual lab course. This unique course provides students with a truly interdisciplinary perspective on how modern biology through a diverse number of approaches can inform our decisions in this crises and help plan for future interventions to lessen the impact of viral epidemics. One of the activities in this course are a series of Town Halls, where subject area experts chat with students and course instructors about issues related to the COVID-19 pandemic. At these Town Hall meetings, physicians, scientists, lawyers, a journalist & an economist discuss scientific, health care, and broader societal issues concerning the COVID19 pandemic. They are going to be held every Friday this winter quarter from 3:30-5pm.

Additionally, the pandemic has exacerbated existing challenges in our fragmented long-term care system.
