• Fighting Cancer with the Immune System

  May 28

  10:30AM – 11:30AM

  Loria Center | Room: 351 — 190 York St.

  Dr. Roy S. Herbst '84, '84 M.S., Ensign Professor of Medicine; Chief of Medical Oncology; Deputy Director for Clinical Affairs, Yale Cancer Center and Smilow Cancer Hospital. Assistant Dean for Translational Research, Yale School of Medicine

  Discovery of the programmed death pathway, a key player in immune evasion by cancer cells, led to new drugs targeting key immune regulators and revolutionized treatment for many cancer types. Still, better understanding of cancer biology and continued identification of predictive markers of sensitivity and resistance remain critical. New concepts and approaches under way at Yale Cancer Center will be discussed with a focus on target validation and drug discovery.

  According to free speech absolutism, the harm done by regulating speech is always worse than the harm of the speech being regulated. Laying out the main arguments for free speech absolutism, I will argue that none are convincing, and draw some morals.

• Mental Health in Times of Challenge: Examining Stress and Emotion Regulation

  May 28

  10:30AM – 11:30AM

  Linsly-Chittenden Hall | Room: 102 — 63 High Street

  Jutta Joormann, Professor of Psychology

  Stressful events impact our well-being and frequently result in experiences of depression or anxiety. At the same time, there is substantial variability in responding to these events including resiliency and even personal growth. Emotion regulation which includes habits of responding to affective states such as sadness and happiness that may be triggered by these challenges may play a critical role in explaining this variability. The talk will explore emotion regulation and its mechanisms to better understand mental health in times of challenge.
