Items being disposed of from laboratories may not include hazardous waste or dangerous chemicals. For all laboratory hazardous waste, please contact Environmental Safety & Health at 215.895.5891 to arrange a special pick-up.

For items that have residual value but are no longer useful for the University, please contact drexelsurplus@drexel.edu to see if they can be sold through the Surplus Sales program.

The annual Campus Clean-up allows departments and offices on the University City Campus to efficiently dispose of unwanted items while improving the general appearance of our facilities and reclaiming precious space occupied by items that should be discarded.

New Acquisitions: Highlights from The Drexel Collection (9/1/2021)

Start Date:	9/1/2021	Start Time:	9:00 AM
End Date:	9/1/2021	End Time:	6:00 PM

Exhibition from June 28, 2021, through October 22, 2021. All visitors without a Dragon card must check in for a visitor pass.

The Drexel Collection has been actively collecting since its founding in 1891. The earliest acquisitions were purchases at the Chicago Columbian Exposition in 1893 and donations made by Drexel family members and friends including Anthony J. Drexel, James MacAlister, James W. Paul, and George W. Childs. The collection grew through the 20th century with donations from Drexel family members, faculty, students, alumni, and friends of Drexel University.

This exhibition is a survey of what the Drexel Collection has collected throughout the last four years. With these donations we are able to continuously diversify the collection, as well as expand the collection’s parameters.

This exhibition was curated by Mary Elizabeth Kulesa ’22 as a part of her undergraduate Co-Op. Mary is a Photography and Art History double major and is excited to be working with new photographs added to the Drexel Collection. Special thanks is due to all of the donors who have helped expand the collection.

Data science and scientific paradigms: Why linguistic AIs work they way they do (9/1/2021)

Wed, 1 Sep 2021 23:00:00 GMT

Start Date:	9/1/2021	Start Time:	7:00 PM
End Date:	9/1/2021	End Time:	8:00 PM

Where did data science come from and when did it become so important? These are really important questions that we should approach if we wish to get involved with the subject. In a 2009, Microsoft Research published a collection of essays, entitled The Fourth Paradigm: Data-intensive Scientific Discovery. This discussed the implications of a swelling 'data deluge' and means by which researchers would have to engage in future practice. By now this is old news, and we might as well say that the data deluge has inundated research. But does or should a paradigm shift to the nature of science obviate the pre-existing paradigms? Join College of Computing & Informatics (CCI) Assistant Professor Jake Williams, PhD, as he answers these questions and more!

This free, virtual event is open to anyone interested in learning more about CCI's graduate programs. Register here

Shakespeare Read-Aloud (9/7/2021)

Tue, 7 Sep 2021 20:00:00 GMT

Start Date:	9/7/2021	Start Time:	4:00 PM
End Date:	9/7/2021	End Time:	5:00 PM

The Pennoni Honors College would like to invite you to another Shakespeare Read-Aloud for all interested students, staff, faculty, parents, and friends of the Pennoni Honors College. We will be reading and dissecting Twelfth Night.

Chaos, confusion, and comedy ensue in Shakespeare's rom-com about a sister and brother shipwrecked and separated, as they find themselves part of interwoven plots full of practical jokes and mistaken identities.

The reading resumes each Tuesday, from 4-5 p.m. live on Zoom. The reading will be led by Pennoni Honors College Dean Paula Marantz Cohen, author of Of Human Kindness: What Shakespeare Teaches Us About Empathy (Yale UP).

Our aim is to have attendees engage with this great play in whatever capacity they choose. You can come to read or just to listen. There will be no pressure, no judgment, no grades — just the chance to commune together over a great work of literature and provide a little laughter in our present moment.

Impact of HIV-1 Genetic Variation on Tat-RNA Binding, Anti-HIV-1 gRNA Design, and HIV-Associated Neurocognitive Impairment (NI)

Details:
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection is a major public health threat due to the formation of a latent reservoir that cannot be removed by conventional antiretroviral therapies. Infected cells secrete viral proteins which trigger the release of proinflammatory cytokines that stimulate chronic inflammation. This causes comorbidities such as an increased risk of developing various cancers and HIV-1-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND), necessitating the continued search for a cure. Each patient harbors a variable and continuously evolving collection of viruses – referred to as viral quasispecies (vQS) – which allows HIV-1 to rapidly adapt to selective pressures and develop resistance against therapeutics and cure strategies.

To account for this variability, the composition of each patient’s vQS profile needs to be examined. Nanopore sequencing yields long reads that encompass the entire proviral genome, making it optimal for vQS characterization. However, Nanopore sequencing was error prone when first released, preventing widespread application. This was the inspiration behind the development of the HIV-Quasipore suite: a set of fast and high accuracy, HIV-specific, Nanopore basecallers designed to accurately characterize vQS. These were constructed using pretrained flip-flop Nanopore basecallers that were refined using J-Lat 10.6 cell line Nanopore trace data. This was performed by minimizing the error between the base-called reads to the true sequence found in a high-quality Sanger-sequenced J-Lat 10.6 genome. Base-calling improvement was consistent across the genome and has decreased the coverage required to confidently determine the presence of a vQS.

HIV-1 Tat variability has been implicated in HAND presentation and severity. Given this, the impact of HIV-1 Tat length on clinical parameters and neurocognitive impairment were investigated within the Drexel Medicine CNS AIDS Research and Eradication Study (CARES) cohort. Tat variants (101 and 86 residue in length) were predominantly observed within the cohort, matching observations found within Los Alamos National Laboratory’s (LANL) HIV-1 sequence database. However, unique Tat length isoforms were found within the CARES cohort that were not present within LANL. Regardless, Tat length did not correlate with CARES participant clinical parameters or neurocognitive impairment status.

While investigating the influence of Tat’s length on HAND is relatively simple, examining how specific variants influence HAND presentation and severity requires powerful computational inference. Give these observations, an optimized RNA-protein interaction (RPI) prediction model architecture and a novel negative sampling method leveraging stacked autoencoder difference magnitudes were developed to investigate how Tat variability impacts HAND severity through changes in Tat-microRNA (miRNA) interactions. When using the model to examine the Tat-specific variation’s contribution to clinical parameters, no distinct clusters could be observed encompassing any clinical parameter or neurocognitive assessment scores. When all collected Tat-miRNA combinations were passed through the model, most Tat variants were found to exclusively bind or not bind with all miRNAs, regardless of wild type Tat behavior. Tat-binder status did not significantly impact assessment-specific impairment. However more HIV-1 RPIs are required to improve Tat-miRNA prediction performance.

Variation also needs to be considered when designing anti-HIV-1 LTR-targeting guide RNAs (gRNAs) and inferring any off-target cleavage. Investigating gRNAs derived from different subtypes and groups resulted in few inferred high-quality off-target effects. Those off-target effects were predominantly located in non-coding DNA. Inferred cleavage did not frequently arise from human endogenous retrovirus (HERV)-K 5’ LTRs and were equally distributed across all chromosomes. While results are promising, all gRNA off-target events need to be validated with established off-target detection assays (e.g., GUIDE-Seq, CIRCLE-Seq).

Overall, the work in this thesis has led to advances in computational and biologic understanding of HIV-1 pathogenesis during the course of HIV-1 disease in patient samples and underlying mechanisms needed for understanding HIV pathogenesis and CNS disease and cutting-edge therapeutics.

Two Decades After 9/11, Shared Remembrance (9/11/2021)

Sat, 11 Sep 2021 13:00:00 GMT

Start Date:	9/11/2021	Start Time:	9:00 AM
End Date:	9/11/2021	End Time:	10:00 AM

The 20th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorism attacks on New York, Western Pennsylvania and the Pentagon presents an important opportunity for the entire Drexel community to remember those whose lives were cut short or altered irrevocably that day.

The events of 9/11 impacted untold numbers of Americans, from the victims and their families who mourned, to the survivors and first responders, and to the soldiers deployed to thwart terrorism in the many years since. On Drexel’s campus, which grieved its own losses, and which is the academic home for hundreds of student-veterans, we pause in our daily routines this week to honor them all.

Among the almost 3,000 people who lost their lives during the attacks at the World Trade Center, Pentagon and aboard United Airlines Flight 93 in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, were two members of the extended Drexel community.

At a memorial service on the Drexel Korman Quadrangle at 9 a.m. on Saturday, September 11, 2021, we will remember them and all who perished. I hope you will join us.

If possible, RSVP here.

Now the Paul Peck Alumni Center, it is home to a newly renovated gallery space designed to showcase Drexel’s rich and diverse collections. These collections, which embody the interdisciplinary collaborative spirit of Drexel academics mark Drexel as one of the great collecting universities in the United States.

Though widely known for innovation, entrepreneurship and civic engagement, Drexel has been a serious collecting institution from its very inception in 1891. In fact, it was the University’s forward thinking founder AJ Drexel, who provided the inspiration and resources to establish The Drexel Collection. The original collection grew and evolved over the years and now the University holds a series of impressive collections including the internationally renowned Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University, The Robert and Penny Fox Historic Costume Collection as well as The Legacy Center, which documents the role of women in American medicine, and the Archives at Hagerty Library.

The inaugural exhibition in the new gallery, curated by Cara Fry and Derek Gillman, is designed to provide a window into Drexel’s extraordinary collections which range from rare books to couture; from natural science to fine and applied arts. Every piece in the show is a treasure – including a Rittenhouse Orrery clock from 1873, a 1991 James Galanos evening gown, a 450 million year old slab of fossilized trilobites and a 16th century Paracelsus incunabulum. Also highlighted is an 1876 William Morris textile which serves as a fascinating case study for the way in which the objects in the Drexel collections invite interdisciplinary teaching and research and thereby provide historical context and contemporary relevance.

The exhibition is free and open to the public.

Start Date:	9/14/2021	Start Time:	4:00 PM

After a summer break, we're kicking off the fall with the next Green Infrastructure, Climate and Cities seminar, Code Red for Humanity: What the Latest IPCC Report Means for Our Region. Due to national and religious holidays, this seminar is not at our usual time - we'll be holding the seminar virtually on Tuesday, September 14th at 4pm.

On August 6, 2021, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released its Sixth Assessment report on climate change, called a "Code Red for Humanity" by the UN Secretary General. The report details that regardless of what we do today, our planet will continue to warm through 2050 causing further climate disasters, and our window to curb the worst impacts of future climate change is quickly closing. What does this latest report tell us about how this region will be experiencing future conditions of climate change? Speakers from CCRUN will discuss.

What would you like to know about the report? Submit questions for discussion when you register.

Doctoral Thesis Defense: Extending Income Measurement and Modeling Options for Injury Epidemiology (9/21/2021)

Tue, 21 Sep 2021 14:00:00 GMT

Start Date:	9/21/2021	Start Time:	10:00 AM
End Date:	9/21/2021

Join the department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics at Dornsife for the doctoral thesis defense of Janene Brown, MPH, PhD candidate.

Abstract:
Fatal intentional and unintentional injuries significantly impact victims in years of life lost and can traumatize victims’ families and communities. Non-fatal injuries, such as falls, can result in expensive healthcare costs associated with post-fall rehabilitation and treating associated injuries, and there remains a significant racial disparity in rates of fatal motor vehicle accidents, and a lingering racial disparity in homicides, despite decreases in nationwide rates. Income and elements of the built environment in neighborhoods also influence health, including fatal injuries, and further existing health associated inequities. This dissertation will explore the association between income and income inequality with risk of injuries across a set of refinements.

Advisor:
Gina Lovasi, PhD, MPH; Associate Professor of Urban Health; Urban Health Collaborative Co-Director

Biography:
Janene earned her MPH from the Dornsife School of Public Health in 2014 and a BA in Health and Societies with a concentration in Epidemiology from the University of Pennsylvania in 2009. Janene’s research interests include the epidemiologic study of gun violence, chronic disease and its relation to the built environment, and the relationship between the use of public assistance programs and health status. Janene is currently a Stoneleigh Foundation Emerging Leader Fellow working with the Health Alliance for Violence Intervention to evaluate the healthcare utilization costs of violently injured patients in Philadelphia and the effectiveness of a hospital based violence intervention on health care and other service sector utilization. Prior to starting her doctoral program, Janene worked in the Research and Evaluation Group of Public Health Management Corporation where she conducted an ongoing evaluation of the Pennsylvania Free Quitline, a smoking cessation service, and rigorous evaluations of sexual health interventions for at-risk youth.

Biomedical Ethics in Research: Rights and Responsibilities (9/22/2021)

Start Date:	9/22/2021	Start Time:	4:00 PM
End Date:	9/22/2021	End Time:	5:30 PM

BIOMED Seminar

Title:
Biomedical Ethics in Research: Rights and Responsibilities

Speakers:
Andres Kriete, PhD
Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and Teaching Professor
School of Biomedical Engineering, Science and Health Systems
Drexel University

Jay Bhatt
Liaison Librarian for Engineering
W.W. Hagerty Library
Drexel University

Details:
Faculty will discuss and review the definition and examples of ethics, plagiarism, and cheating. Drexel Policies and School of Biomedical Engineering, Science and Health Systems policies will also be explained. These policies affect all faculty, students, staff, and any Biomed community members.

In addition, Jay Bhatt will present a talk titled, "Embrace Research Integrity, Avoid Scientific Misconduct, and Enhance Scholarly Research." In recent years, the scientific community has witnessed a number of instances of retracted research papers due to the evidence found of scientific misconduct after those papers were published. This presentation will highlight the importance of academic and scientific integrity in the progress of global research. Whether you are writing a research paper or completing an assignment for your class, it is extremely important to provide proper credit to various sources of information (journal article, conference paper, presentation, book chapter, a web site, images or any other types of resources) that were used in projects or assignments. Using various examples of breaches in academic misconduct, or retracted papers from published literature, violations in scientific integrity and academic misconduct are explained, and possible hindrances and obstacles to scientific progress are illustrated. Their consequences can be extremely damaging in career promotion and future research collaborations. It becomes critically important for creating teaching and learning environments for students and new researchers to address this global problem and enhance the quality of academic and scholarly activities.

A Public Talk with William Hurst, Cambridge University (9/24/2021)

Land and the Origins of Contemporary Politics in Asia: Taiwan, Mainland China, Indonesia, and Malaysia since 1945

At the end of World War II, most of Asia remained thoroughly agrarian. Mainland China, Taiwan, Indonesia, and Malaysia were no exceptions. Traditional elites dominated local politics, even as larger state structures were destroyed or remade. New political regimes came to power, each of which pursued distinct reforms and reorganization in the area of land tenure and extraction and distribution of surpluses from agriculture. By 1965, none of the four economies resembled its pre-War form and their societies had also been transformed. These new political, economic, and social structures have shaped outcomes and trajectories ever since, in a manner that holds general implications far beyond Greater China or Southeast Asia.

My principle argument is that redistribution and commodification each promote specific aspects of economic and social change, pulling rural residents out of agriculture or helping keep them there and either releasing or locking away the agrarian surplus as capital for potential industrial investment. The mix of outcomes in this earlier period puts countries on trajectories from which they have had difficulty diverging up through the present day.

In Taiwan, the KMT regime, working with the US Military, adopted a program of redistribution of land that also included meaningful commodification. This combination laid the foundations for Taiwan's developmental state, but also created distinct classes of winners and losers, who later came to shape aspects of its evolving electoral politics.

In Mainland China, the CCP embarked on a radical program of redistribution. Landlords and other gentry were dispossessed, even killed, by the millions. Formerly impoverished peasants received land and other assistance. But they were not given commodity title. Eventually, the state became a kind of 'landlord of last resort', aggregating rents and surpluses from collectivized agriculture to generate capital for investment in industrialization. Despite essential reforms like decollectivization in the last 1970s and early 1980s, the ongoing stability of China's particular strain of authoritarianism and viability of its economic model in many ways depend on the maintenance of its peculiar land regime.

In Indonesia, Sukarno launched an initiative for mass redistribution of land in Java, Bali, and Madura under 'Guided Democracy' in the early 1960s. But then, the gentry struck back. Amid massive counter-redistribution after the 1965 coup, a new campaign for commodification (through cadastral surveys and assignment of land title) was launched in the 1970s. The end result was commodification that has never been entirely comprehensive without any enduring redistribution. Land conflict thus remains embedded at the core of Indonesian politics, while most of any agrarian surplus remains locked away and inaccessible for industrial investment.

Malaysia comes closest to a negative case. Relatively little land reform was initiated, with two critical exceptions. Landed elites remain influential in Malaysian politics and play critical roles in the country’s economy. Subsidies and side payments ensure that potentially aggrieved groups have remained mostly quiescent, despite Malaysia's lack of meaningful redistribution or commodification of land.

William Hurst is the Chong Hua Professor of Chinese Development in the Department of Politics and International Studies at the University of Cambridge, where he is also Director of the Centre of Development Studies, Deputy Director of the Centre for Geopolitics, and a Fellow of Wolfson College. He works mostly on the politics of labour, law, and land in China and Indonesia and has examined these topics from perspectives in political economy, institutional analysis, law and society, and contentious politics and social movements. Hurst is the author of Ruling Before the Law: the Politics of Legal Regimes in China and Indonesia (Cambridge 2018) and The Chinese Worker after Socialism (Cambridge 2009), in addition to four edited volumes, more than two dozen journal articles and book chapters, and over twenty essays, op-eds and shorter pieces. He is currently at work on a book that will explore the politics of land and land reform, as well as their long-run implications for state formation and political economy, in Mainland China, Taiwan, Indonesia, and Malaysia since 1945. Besides these projects, he also has long-term research and teaching interests in international relations; especially pertaining to China and Southeast Asia; as well as the interplay between geopolitical structural factors and domestic politics in shaping countries; foreign policy and behaviour on the world stage. Before coming to Cambridge in 2021, Hurst worked for eight years as associate professor and professor of political science at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois. Prior to that, he was an assistant professor at the University of Toronto and the University of Texas at Austin. He has held fellowships or fixed-term appointments at Harvard University, the University of Oxford, Bowdoin College, and Airlangga University in Indonesia.

National Voter Registration Day! (9/28/2021)

Tue, 28 Sep 2021 04:00:00 GMT

Start Date:	9/28/2021	All Day
End Date:	9/28/2021

National Voter Registration Day is a nonpartisan civic holiday every year that celebrates voting and encourages people to exercise their right to be heard in the United States' democratic process. Celebrated on the fourth Tuesday of September, National Voter Registration Day seeks to create broad awareness of voter registration opportunities to reach tens of thousands of voters who may not register otherwise. According to U.S. Census data from 2020, as many as 1 in 4 eligible Americans are not registered to vote. Every year, millions of Americans find themselves unable to vote because they miss a registration deadline, don’t update their registration, or aren’t sure how to register. National Voter Registration Day wants to make sure everyone has the opportunity to vote. Learn more at their website, which includes a section to "get registered" that will help you to register yourself to vote in the upcoming November elections: https://nationalvoterregistrationday.org/. The Lindy Center for Civic Engagement will be open from 9am to 5pm on National Voter Registration Day and people are welcome to come by to print out voter registration forms (or pick up blank forms) and get help filling them out!

The Next Generation of Inventors: The Case for Combining Medical Education and Engineering Education (9/29/2021)

Wed, 29 Sep 2021 20:00:00 GMT

Start Date:	9/29/2021	Start Time:	4:00 PM
End Date:	9/29/2021	End Time:	5:30 PM

BIOMED Seminar

Title:
The Next Generation of Inventors: The Case for Combining Medical Education and Engineering Education at Microscopic and Macroscopic Scales

Speaker:
Sujata K. Bhatia, MD, PhD, PE
Professor of Microbiology and Immunology
Director of Biomedicine Graduate Programs
Drexel University College of Medicine

Details:
The COVID-19 pandemic, layered upon the existing opioid epidemic and the global dual burden of chronic and infectious disease, has highlighted the need for courageous and creative innovators who are cognizant of the societal impact of innovation. In this talk, I will describe my work in interdisciplinary engineering education and novel training programs, including (1) an intensive course on Sustainable Materials for Medical Applications, combining agriculture, medicine, and engineering; (2) an original first-year Honors colloquium on the Grand Challenges for Innovation, combining philosophy, ethics, and engineering; (3) a new course for undergraduate and graduate students on Acceptance and Resistance to Innovation, combining entrepreneurship, economics, and engineering; and (4) a university-wide seminar for undergraduate and graduate students on Contemplation and Technological Change, combining sociology, psychology, and engineering. Each of these programs align with the Grand Challenges for Engineering as set forth by the National Academy of Engineering, as well as the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals.

I will then describe the pressing need for combining medicine with engineering at both the microscopic and macroscopic levels. At the microscopic scale, new training programs in immune engineering are necessary for vaccines, immunotherapies, cell therapies, and gene therapies. At the macroscopic scale, new training programs in pandemic preparedness are necessary for resilient infrastructure, and new training programs in pharmaceutical manufacturing are necessary to address opioid addiction.

Over sixty years ago, President John F. Kennedy noted, “There is an old saying that the course of civilization is a race between catastrophe and education. In a democracy such as ours, we must make sure that education wins the race.” These words remain relevant during our current global pandemic. It is our responsibility to create not only inventions, but also a new generation of inventors, who will write the next generation of engineering and medical textbooks. Our society depends on it.

Start Date:	9/30/2021	Start Time:	3:00 PM
End Date:	9/30/2021	End Time:	4:00 PM

"I'm meeting an employer but what should I tell them about myself?" In this interactive workshop attendees will craft their "30 Second Elevator Pitch" and then practice delivering their "pitch" in a series of speed networking breakout sessions. There will be time for feedback, reflection, and adaptation so attendees leave having practiced multiple times, with different people and feel more prepared to introduce themselves to employers.

Details:
Additive manufacturing (AM, 3D printing) is rapidly being adopted by clinicians and researchers aiming to create affordable patient-specific medical devices and other complex structures. In orthopaedics, AM technologies have been especially beneficial for the creation of metallic porous biomaterials, which can help establish bone-implant fixation without the use of bone cement. Metal AM, however, presents considerable challenges for use in a clinical setting, and the potential disadvantages of metal in vivo have led to increased interest in nonmetallic implants. Recent advancements in AM have allowed for the printing of high temperature polymers like polyetheretherketone (PEEK) using the fused filament fabrication (FFF) process already adopted by many hospitals. While the bioinert nature of PEEK is often cited as a barrier to its use in osseointegration, the inclusion of porosity by surface modification has shown promising results for bone ingrowth, though often at the expense of mechanical properties. Establishing a strategy to create porous PEEK without detrimental post processing may help advance the possibilities for patient-specific implants created at the point of care.

In this thesis, porous PEEK created by FFF is presented and characterized to determine its potential use as a novel orthopaedic biomaterial. The porous architectures are designed using the concept of triply periodic minimal surfaces (TPMS), and design tools are provided for future TPMS-inspired materials. In Aim 1, it was demonstrated that porous PEEK designed as either a simple lattice or TPMS structure can be created via FFF. In vitro testing indicated increased preosteoblast cell activity for porous PEEK compared to nonporous, and compression testing showed that the TPMS design led to improved mechanical properties over a simple lattice. In Aim 2, the mechanical properties and degree of anisotropy induced on PEEK by the FFF printing process were explored. The elastic constants to be used in later modeling methods were determined, and relatively low anisotropy for the mechanical properties in two orientations was found. In Aim 3, models were created to relate the architecture and function of the porous PEEK. A custom MATLAB script was created to design and characterize TPMS structures, and the designer inputs were mapped to the resulting pore size and porosity. A homogenization scheme was then used to predict the properties of TPMS architectures, and a relationship between the porous characteristics and predicted elastic modulus was established. The model was validated as a part of Aim 4, in which a family of TPMS-inspired porous PEEK structures were additively manufactured and characterized. A variety of FFF porous PEEK with ranging mechanical properties was achieved, and experimental values showed good agreement with the model for the transverse loading direction, showing promise for a predictive architecture-property model for PEEK TPMS structures.

The Symposium: Disaster Retrospective Panel (Cancelled) (9/30/2021)

Thu, 30 Sep 2021 19:30:00 GMT

Start Date:	9/30/2021	Start Time:	3:30 PM
End Date:	9/30/2021	End Time:	4:30 PM

During the 2020-21 academic year, the Pennoni Honors College interdisciplinary course series, the Symposium, explored the theme of disaster. Faculty experts from across the fields of public health, design, geoscience, law, engineering, and history came together to co-teach classes that explored topics of disasters and equity, risk communication, concerns of privacy and security during pandemics, and problem-solving approaches to disaster, among many others. Inauspiciously, these courses were taught during the ongoing disaster of the global COVID-19 pandemic.

This panel is an opportunity to revisit some of those topics, and to offer reflection and insight on teaching about disaster during the time of a disaster.
