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.

GeoHealth: The Impact of Climate Change on Health and Society

Ahead of the 50th anniversary of Earth Day on April 22, Wiley and AGU will host a webinar on the emerging field of GeoHealth, which explores the intersections of the Earth and environmental sciences and health sciences. The webinar will focus on the effects of climate change on health and society.

The Pharmaceutical Supply Chain

The COVID-19 pandemic sparked national concern about vulnerabilities in the drug supply chain. Many drugs procured in the United States are manufactured abroad. The pandemic disrupted the production of key pharmaceutical ingredients around the world, sparking fear about resulting shortages of key medicines. The system also struggled to keep pace with rising demand for drugs to treat patients with COVID-19. During this webinar, panelists will explore the impact of the pandemic on different facets of the drug supply chain and discuss policy options to strengthen the system.
