SUMMARY:Meeting at the Library: Greg LaCross
DESCRIPTION:Grand Traverse Humanists will welcome Greg LaCross with a presentation on genetics and its applications in the modern world. \nThe field of genetics and molecular biology has grown exponentially over the last 100 years. Great strides have been made in understanding the human genome and how it can be manipulated for various purposes that are not\, some would say\, all good. \nPresenter Greg LaCross will give an overview of past research into the mechanisms of DNA\, and the state of current knowledge and applications of modern-day genetics that include those things such as gene therapy\, cloning\, CRISPR\, genome sequencing\, etc. \nGreg LaCross is the Chair of the Biology Department and genetics instructor at Northwestern Michigan College. He obtained his first graduate degree in molecular biology from Boston College where he conducted research in the fields of biochemistry and genetics. \nAs usual\, following the meeting\,we’ll gather at the Filling Station Microbrewery for pizza\, drinks\, and conversation.

SUMMARY:Meeting at the Library: “Cuba: Why Can’t We Just Move Forward?”
DESCRIPTION:Grand Traverse Humanists present a talk with Karen Puschel Segal on U.S.-Cuban relations. For sixty years\, the relationship has been plagued by distrust and antagonism. Hoping to thwart Fidel Castro\, successive U.S. administrations have tried to isolate the island country economically and diplomatically. In fact\, the U.S. has sanctioned Cuba longer than any other country. Hopes were raised under President Obama that maybe it would be possible to put the past behind and start again to find ways to cooperate. Alas\, President Trump has put those nascent hopes to rest by exerting “maximum pressure\,” including further limits on U.S.-Cuban contacts.\nWhy is it proving so difficult to overcome the legacy of U.S.-Cuban relations? And what might we expect looking ahead? \nJoin Karen Puschel Segal for a lively discussion of this most interesting – and thorny – relationship! Karen and fellow diplomat (and husband) Jack traveled to Havana recently as part of a World Affairs Council trip\, led by a former U.S. Ambassador.  \nKaren Puschel Segal began her career as an analyst of Soviet affairs at the State Department and later served in Moscow and Yekaterinburg\, Russia and in Geneva at the Strategic Arms Reduction Talks. Karen is a Council on Foreign Relations scholar and the author of U.S.-Israeli Strategic Cooperation in the post-Cold War Era\, as well as various articles. Karen has always been an ardent volunteer\, heading various charitable organizations while living in the Netherlands. She recently stepped down as co-chair of the International Affairs Forum in Traverse City.
