Slide Lecture | Burj Khalifa: What We Learned About The Tallest Building in The World (virtual)


Engineer and Professor Bill Baker is best known for the development of the "buttressed core" structural system for the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, the world's tallest manmade structure. Completed in 2010, the 828-meter Burj surpassed the then-tallest Taipei 101 by more than 300 meters. This unprecedented vertical leap was accomplished by iterative responses to wind-tunnel testing and other creative solutions to constructability. In his talk, Baker will discuss both the precedents that allowed the team to invent a new structural approach, as well as the legacy of "Lessons Learned" a decade after the completion of the skyscraper that still remains the tallest in the world.

Discussion | The COVID Vaccine: How It Works and What's Next (virtual)


All COVID-19 vaccines have one thing in common: they use various methods of biomedical trickery to coax our immune system into producing antibodies that neutralize an invading virus. But as these vaccines become increasingly available, new variants of the virus are spreading. The question now facing immunologists and other researchers is whether the immune system -- having been conditioned to knock out today's COVID-19 virus -- will be able to take out tomorrow's mutated versions. How long can the vaccine protect us against current and future strains? Can other parts of our immune system -- beyond antibodies -- be coaxed by the vaccines to fight the virus and its variants? Join internationally renowned immunologist Dr. Miriam Merad, Director of the Precision Immunology Institute at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, and award-winning New York Times health and science reporter Apoorva Mandavilli, for an in-depth discussion of how our immune system responds to intruders like the COVID-19 virus, with the latest news on emerging strains.
