Each year, late winter at Penn is enlivened by an afternoon of TED Talk-style presentations by Arts & Sciences graduate students representing the Humanities, Social Sciences, Natural Sciences, and Professional Master’s programs. The Penn Grad Talks went virtual this year, but again showcased some of our best students from a wide array of disciplines as they gave short talks on their research. You can view the presentations of the winners from each category below.
