SUMMARY:Food for Thought: A Matter of Time
DESCRIPTION:The year 2020 was like no other\, and we found ourselves pressing pause\, pivoting\, disconnecting\, and disengaging. Moving forward in 2021\, we are coming up for air and figuring out how we press play on our lives. This year’s Food for Thought digital series will focus on topics in pursuit of three goals – to restart\, revive\, and reconnect. Today we’ll tackle the topic of time management and making the most of every minute. Content Creator and Time Management Coach Sade Jones  (@sadejones_) will speak with Business Productivity Coach & Strategist Simone Little (@thesimonelittle) about how to set obtainable goals and techniques you can use to break down and prioritize tasks that will help you to accomplish those goals. They’ll also discuss steps you can take to be more productive and to learn what motivates you. The Food for Thought series features influential voices from various fields and the public is invited to directly engage in the conversation by submitting a question anonymously in advance of the event.

SUMMARY:STEM Supremes: In Conversation with Elizabeth Blackburn
DESCRIPTION:Conversation with the queen of telomeres: Australian-American scientist Dr. Elizabeth Blackburn. Light years on from her early work sequencing the DNA of pond scum\, Blackburn unraveled our understanding of the function of telomeres—the protective caps on the ends of chromosomes—and the role they play in aging and diseases such as cancer. She took on US President George W. Bush on the political flashpoint of federal funding for stem cell research\, has pioneered a path for women scientists\, and received the pinnacle of scientific achievement—the Nobel Prize—for unlocking secrets about how we age at a fundamental level. Her 2017 New York Times Bestseller\, “The Telomere Effect: A Revolutionary Approach to Living Younger\, Healthier\, Longer”\, revealed how sleep quality\, exercise\, diet\, chronic stress\, and even the neighborhood you live in can impact the length of our telomeres and\, in turn\, our genetic heritage.

SUMMARY:Isabel Wilkerson And Rabbi Angela Buchdahl On “Caste”
DESCRIPTION:While working on her Pulitzer Prize-winning book The Warmth of Other Suns\, about the Great Migration of African Americans out of the Jim Crow South\, Isabel Wilkerson realized that the United States had an unspoken and deeply ingrained caste system. In her new book Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents\, a #1 New York Times bestseller and Oprah’s Book Club pick\, Wilkerson explores the impact of this American caste system—a rigid hierarchy of human divisions—and its connections to caste systems in India and Nazi Germany. She documents how the Nazis studied American race laws as they planned the German Nuremberg Laws\, and she points forward to ways that we can move beyond artificial and destructive separations towards a common humanity. Join Wilkerson and Rabbi Angela Warnick Buchdahl\, Senior Rabbi at New York’s Central Synagogue and the first Asian-American person to be ordained as cantor or rabbi in North America\, for a conversation about Caste\, the legacy of the Holocaust\, and what lies under the surface of American life today.

SUMMARY:The American Revolution and the Creation of American History
DESCRIPTION:In this lecture\, Michael Hattem will discuss his book Past and Prologue: Politics and Memory in the American Revolution. Between the 1760s and 1800s\, Americans stopped thinking of the British past as their own history and created a new historical tradition that would form the foundation of what future generations would think of as “American history.” This process\, Hattem argues\, played a critical role in the founding of the nation. This lecture will take place via Zoom.

SUMMARY:Remembering Olga Lengyel And “Five Chimneys”
DESCRIPTION:In 1944\, Hungarian physician’s assistant Olga Lengyel was deported to Auschwitz along with her parents\, husband\, and two sons. She was put to work in the Auschwitz infirmary\, where she also secretly toiled for a French underground cell\, helping to demolish a crematory oven. At the end of the war\, she was the only member of her family to survive. Lengyel made her way to New York and\, in 1946\, published Five Chimneys: A Woman Survivor’s True Story of Auschwitz\, which became one of the earliest testimonies to depict the barbarism of the Nazis. Thirty years later\, her vivid exposé of the death camps inspired William Styron’s award-winning novel Sophie’s Choice. 20 years after Lengyel’s death in April 2001\, join the Museum and The Olga Lengyel Institute for a program exploring her remarkable life and legacy.
