    • Biomedical Engineering, Medicines of the Future, and Pivoting During a Pandemic

      Jun 3
      10:30AM – 11:30AM
      Sterling Law Buildings | Room: Levinson Auditorium — 127 Wall Street

      W. Mark Saltzman, Goizueta Foundation Professor of Biomedical Engineering, Chemical & Environemntal Engeineering & Physiology

      In this talk, Professor Saltzman will describe the role of engineering in creation of medicines of the future. Over the past two years, for example, we have seen the introduction of nanoparticle vaccines that were rapidly developed from concept to testing to deployment. But even more is on the horizon, such as nanoparticle-based treatments for brain tumors, targeted correction of genetic diseases, transplants that are invisible to the immune system, long-lasting, safe prevention of UV-mediated DNA damage in skin, and inhalable vaccines.

    • What is American Cuisine?

      Jun 3
      10:30AM – 11:30AM
      Sheffield-Sterling-Strathcona Hall | Room: 114 — 1 Prospect Street

      Paul Freedman, Chester D. Tripp Professor of History

      Professor Freedman, author of American Cuisine and How It Got This Way, looks at the question, "What is American Cuisine?" The distinctive things about American food are its regional traditions, their erosion by processed food which dominated the twentieth century,and a love of variety. Choice and options (twelve different Rice-a-Roni flavors) compensate for the blandness of factory-made food. Now the popularity of industrially-made food has waned, gradually supplanted if not completely replaced by a return to primary tastes, freshness, and to some degree seasonal and local dining. This talk identifies the 1970s as a turning point.
