Summary: In the AcaDames Season 4 Launch, Sarah and Whitney reflect on Sarah’s job transition, campus life during the pandemic, an academic Twitter scandal, and righteous anger. Join us as we welcome an exciting lineup for Season 4! Note: When this episode was recorded, Whitney’s employer, UNC at Chapel Hill, was on Day 2 of in-person undergraduate classes. Six days later, multiple #SARSCoV2 outbreaks in undergraduate housing led the NC Board of Trustees (BOT/BOG) to move UNC undergrad classes all online.
