There are multiple aspects to research angles on COVID-19: therapeutics, diagnosis, co-morbidities, public health, public policy, healthcare systems, and more. As we tackle this multivariate problem as a community, this session will also highlight the health disparities associated with COVID-19, presenting an additional perspective to include when thinking of biomedical and other solutions to address this health problem that has rocked our lives over the last seven months.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe Petit Institute Diversity Committee is beginning a series on the ways that we can all think about systemic racism and inequities in research and training of graduate students and postdocs across our disciplines.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EWe must confront the routines, biases and contradictions that preserve the status quo. This town hall is a fresh call to antiracist action in the bioengineering and bioscience community.
