Drawing on his acclaimed book Born Equal: Remaking America’s Constitution, 1840–1920, Amar will explore the evolution of American constitutional equality — from the nation's founding and the abolitionist movement in America's Northeast and Northwest to today's debate over birthright citizenship and the Supreme Court's recent decision in Trump v.

Title: Quantifying within-host fitness costs in recombinant transmissible vaccines
Abstract:
Transmissible vaccines offer a promising strategy to prevent zoonotic pathogens from spilling over into human and livestock populations. This approach is particularly valuable for targeting wildlife reservoirs that are widespread and difficult to reach. Recombinant vector vaccines- one of the safest methods for engineering these tools- involve inserting a target pathogen's antigen-expressing DNA into a benign viral vector. However, modifying an optimized vector likely incurs a fitness cost. We hypothesize that this cost manifests by reducing the vaccine’s replication capacity, increasing its immune clearance, or both. Because a transmissible vaccine will likely encounter its wild-type counterpart within the same host, these fitness costs could prevent i…

BPM brings together Grammy-nominated bassist Brian Bromberg, two-time Grammy-winning guitarist and producer Paul Brown and chart-topping saxophonist Michael Paulo. The name combines the musicians’ initials while also nodding to “beats per minute.” After more than 30 years of making music, the three longtime friends joined forces for Seriously, an album built around musical chemistry, exceptional musicianship and absolutely no drama. Collectively, they have worked with artists including Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock, Aretha Franklin, Sting, George Benson and Al Jarreau.
BPM balances masterful playing with organic grooves, playful energy and a shared love of performing. Their goal is simple: strong material, heartfelt performances and music that connects with audiences. With Seriously, Bromberg, Brown and Paulo deliver a joyful, high-energy experience designed to make people move, sing and feel something.
