Go beyond the shorthand with OMNIA’s new podcast series, In These Times. What started as a useful tag for the COVID-19 pandemic and shutdowns has expanded to describe worldwide protests and calls for racial justice. The series uses COVID-19 as a platform for a six-episode run in which Penn Arts & Sciences faculty explore the science, social science, and human experiences that have shaped events in 2020. In these times, knowledge is more important than ever.
