"Editing the Future: How CRISPR and Genetic Engineering Will Change Just About Everything" with Laura Hercher MS ’01 (Human Genetics), Director of Research, Joan H. Marks Graduate Program in Human Genetics. Hosted by Josh Gannon '03 in Medford (address will be shared upon registration).

Based on her new book, Enraged: Why Violent Times Need Ancient Greek Myths, Anhalt reveals how three masterworks of classical Greek literature can teach us, as they taught the ancient Greeks, to recognize violent revenge as a marker of illogical thinking and poor leadership. Rage may be a natural reaction to insult, injury, or injustice, but Homer, Euripides, and Sophocles demonstrate the foolishness of celebrating those who indulge in violent rage. These time-honored texts emphasize the costs of our dangerous penchant for glorifying violent rage and those who would indulge in it. By promoting compassion, rational thought, and debate, Greek myths help to arm us against the tyrants we might serve and the tyrants we might become. Copies of Enraged: Why Violent Times Need Ancient Greek Myths will be available for sale.

Walking through History: A Tour of the DUMBO neighborhood. The Brooklyn waterfront is a fascinating case of reinvention and rediscovery. Currently one of the hottest real estate markets in a city known for development, during the 19th century, it was where the majority of sugar, spices and coffee came into America. Learn about the enormous brick warehouses which once housed comestibles and now house artist studios and residences. See where the cardboard box was developed and learn about the current struggles to preserve the unique character of the neighborhood as the neighborhood continues to transform into one of NYC's most desirable districts. The tour will be guided by Simeon Bankoff '91, a historic preservation advocate with a long history in the area. It will include a visit to the new Empire Stores complex. After the tour, we will socialize informally at a local wine bar (cash bar). Tour meets on the Fulton Ferry Landing Pier at 1 Water Street, by the Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory Building.

Enjoy networking with fellow filmmaking alumni during the New York Film Festival at the Ascent Lounge (at the Time Warner Center, 10 Columbus Circle, 4th Floor).

Join alumni and their guests for a special artist led tour of the exhibit Song of Songs by calligrapher, author, artist, and teacher Margaret Shepherd '69 at First Church Boston on Sunday, October 15 from 1:30 - 3:30. Refreshments will be served. This calligraphy exhibition showcases some fifty verses from "Song of Songs, Which is Solomon’s." This much debated book of the Bible is unlike anything else in the canon, for both Jews and Christians. "Song of Songs" was first skirted by theologians as unsuitable for anyone under 30; it was soon made more palatable by redefining it as a metaphor for God’s love for his people rather than two teenagers’ passion for each other; recently it has been scrutinized for its implications about gender. On top of all this, "Song of Songs" poses more problems for translators than any other scripture, challenging us to keep digging out new meanings. In a short gallery talk, Ms. Shepherd will talk first about how she decided which English translations to choose from, and then how she shaped the design of each page to reinforce the meaning of each text. She will show how a well thought out calligraphy design can help the reader look and read at the same time. You’ll get an insider’s view of the tools and techniques of this ancient art, while you develop a more informed eye for all kind of lettering and type. Come prepared to contribute your own ideas and experience on poetry, religion, manuscripts, and young love.
