Join us for a one-on-one conversation with Mahlet Mesfin, PhD, Visiting Scholar at the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement and author of the recently published article in Foreign Affairs magazine, “It Takes a World to End a Pandemic.” Mesfin will discuss the importance of international science engagement, scientific collaborations, and partnerships in finding solutions to global issue and how she navigated a career in Science Diplomacy after receiving a PhD in bioengineering from the University of Pennsylvania.
