Register to participate in an interactive online forum with Elazer Edelman '78, SM '79, PhD '84 (left), the Edward J. Poitras Professor in Medical Engineering and Science and director of the Institute for Medical Engineering and Science (IMES) at MIT, and Martin Culpepper SM '97, PhD '00 (right), Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Director of MIT's Project Manus. 

Beginning in late March, Edelman and Culpepper led the MIT initiative to develop and mass-produce low-cost face shields and donate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) from campus entities to front-line health workers and hospitals in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The two will discuss these efforts and other ongoing research at MIT to address the crisis. They will field questions from alumni viewers in this interactive forum. More: http://alumic.mit.edu/covid19
