The lectures pair Harvard professors with celebrated food experts and renowned chefs to showcase the science behind different culinary techniques. The series, organized by Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) is based on the Harvard course “Science and Cooking: From Haute Cuisine to the Science of Soft Matter,” but public lectures do not replicate course content.

Each presentation will begin with a 15-minute lecture about the scientific topics from that week’s class by a faculty member from the Harvard course

Since the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic began, scientific recommendations about the best way to reduce its impact have met wide-ranging resistance in the U.S. With two experts in infectious disease epidemiology and ethics, we will review how scientific evidence is collected in a rapidly changing public health environment, and how to translate that evidence into actionable recommendations. We will also discuss the sources of controversy that have arisen as the pandemic has evolved, including balancing individual and public health interests and how to manage different types of uncertainty.

Two Friedens discuss the political economy of public health. Jeff is a Professor of Government at Harvard, Tom is a former CDC Director. Politics and economics have changed the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the pandemic has changed the course of politics. Why has public health become a political football in the United States? Why has global public health become the focus of international conflict?

Dr. Tom Frieden is a physician with advanced training in internal medicine, infectious disease, public health, and epidemiology. He is one of the world’s top experts in...

Join Jonathan Damery, editor of Arnoldia, for a national dialogue with administrative and horticultural employees about how garden work transpired from early spring through summer 2020, and how they imagine COVID-19...
