How can entropy be concave in time?

At this point in a lecture by Cedric Villani, prof. Villani talks about his work revealing that "if entropy is a concave function of time, then the Ricci curvature is non-negative."

But wait, how can entropy be concave in time? Doesn't the 2nd law of thermodynamics insist that entropy is monotonically increasing in time?
