At Pandemic Pulse, we create a platform through a weekly podcast to make sense of some of the most pressing issues that are transforming our lives: from better understanding the virus itself, to grappling with the socioeconomic impacts, to envisioning what the new normal we will become.
Primarily student-driven and run out of Stanford University, Pandemic Pulse is tapping into the expertise and resources around us. Each episode will dive into a facet of COVID-19 and shed light on some of the most urgent questions for our generation.
