Featuring faculty members from across the University, this vibrant event series offers a chance for the entire Penn community to engage in learning and action around climate. The theme of this year's event is Hot Spots, be they literal (wildfires and extreme heat) or figurative (political, cultural, interpersonal, or scholarly hot topics).

They are presenting as part of the 1.5* Minute Faculty Lecture Series.
