Dear All,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Below are links to an OpEd in the Boston Globe and to MGH Medical Grand Rounds from today. Both deal with the COVID-19 pandemic. There is also a Greater Boston Consortium for Pathogen Readiness of which MIT is part. The consortium received
a donation of $5M from Lisa and Mark Schwartz. This pandemic is dramatically changing our lives in the short term and the Consortium is looking for bold new ways to address the pandemic. </div>
