Remembering the Past, Imagining the Future
Martin Luther King Jr. said: "We are not makers of history. We are made by history." As Americans of all backgrounds continue to grapple with the legacy of slavery, its imprint on our lives remains indelible. This conversation brings together two scholars, Elizabeth Alexander, president of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, and Clint Smith, author of How the Word is Passed, contemplating how the nation’s monuments and landmarks tell — and shape — not only our collective memory, but our shared future. What will it take to learn (and unlearn) from the past in pursuit of a better path forward?Watch

PODCAST
We're in a Science Moment
The Covid-19 vaccine was developed at an unusually rapid pace, and now the public's expectations are high for what science can deliver. It's a good thing we're in a science moment. Gobs of data are being produced, researchers are collaborating more, and the public is engaged. But is the pace of discovery keeping up with the science? Alison Snyder, managing editor at Axios, interviews Darío Gil, senior vice president and director of IBM Research at IBM, Serpil Erzurum, chief research and academic officer of Cleveland Clinic, and Nicholas Dirks, president and CEO of the New York Academy of Sciences, about the pace of discovery in an age of streamlined research and development processes and advanced computing.
