It's all over the news – if we don't flatten the curve, healthcare systems will be overrun by COVID-19 cases, jeopardizing the nation's ability to treat patients. Are the shelter-in-place measures proving effective? Is there hope to be found in biomedical research?

We are living through a time of fear and uncertainty. While we struggle to understand the ripple effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, UC San Diego School of Global Policy and Strategy faculty and guest experts have come together to provide weekly seminars to try and help us understand where we might be headed as a global community. Each week we'll address a different sector impacted by the novel coronavirus.

Join us for the next webinar on May 7 at 12 p.m. (PDT) on COVID-19 Global Impacts: Healthcare and Biomedical Research. Confirmed speakers:

• Joshua Graff Zivin, Pacific Economic Cooperation Chair in International Economic Relations and Director of the Center on Global Transformation, GPS UC San Diego
• Gordon McCord, Associate Teaching Professor and Associate Dean, GPS UC San Diego
