This conversation brings together two scholars, Elizabeth Alexander, president of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, and Clint Smith, author of How the Word is Passed, contemplating how the nation’s monuments and landmarks tell — and shape — not only our collective memory, but our shared future.

SCIENCE PODCAST We're in a Science Moment The Covid-19 vaccine was developed at an unusually rapid pace, and now the public's expectations are high for what science can deliver. It's a good thing we're in a science moment. Gobs of data are being produced, researchers are collaborating more, and the public is engaged. But is the pace of discovery keeping up with the science?
