Aging in [a] Place: Planning, Design & Spatial Justice in Aging Societies

Location: 

Harvard Graduate School of Design, Gund Hall, Stubbins, Room 112, 48 Quincy St., Cambridge

Today, public discussion and policy focuses on “aging in place” as a way to improve quality of life and reduce costs.

An Evolutionary Journey through Domestication

Location: 

Geological Lecture Hall, 24 Oxford St., Cambridge

As the earliest farmers began to select wild plants and animals that had desirable traits, they initiated a series of genetic changes in these species that gradually made them more suitable for agriculture. Plants became easier to grow, had greater yields, and were of higher quality. Animal species exhibited favorable changes in behavior, coat color, and reproductive traits. Barbara Schaal will discuss how the artificial selection of these species—a pivotal technological achievement—has influenced their genetics, evolution, and capacity to flourish in the care of humans.
