In this issue of Omnia, our cover story, “Creating a Powerhouse for Energy Solutions,” gives readers a tour of the trailblazing research and bold initiatives that define our commitment to creating a sustainable planet. We also follow along on a quest to catalogue hundreds of books once looted by the Nazis, and a philosophy professor's initiative that is opening young minds in the community to a new kind of philosophical thinking. Other features include: the story of an economics professor’s founding of VoxChina.org, an examination of Fox Leadership International’s impact, a look into the unknown world of dark matter, and a check-in with alums to hear how an education from Penn Arts & Sciences helped them prepare for the industry of their choice.
