The Year in COVID
Though the “19" refers to the year the novel coronavirus was actually discovered, we’ll all remember 2020 as the year COVID-19 utterly changed the world. In this final episode of the season, the deans discuss not only the technological leaps made but also the campus-wide collaborations — especially between the School of Veterinary Medicine and School of Medicine that — that gave us all hope and taught us many lessons along the way.

Herd Is the Word
It has been long observed that, after disease ravages a group of animals, the remaining herd often comes to possess a collective immunity. That's one reason some epidemics seem to appear and flame out just as suddenly. But is that a good strategy for a human population fighting COVID-19, as some public figures have wishfully suggested? In this episode, the deans discuss why that is a very bad idea, and how we’ll be better off getting through this winter with clear, constant communication from respected public health institutions.
