Hobart and William Smith Colleges

was, like, right on the lake.

What? What kind of school? Do you want to say the name of the school you went to? It's called Hobart and William Smith.

It's on

Seneca Lake, on the Finger Lake.

Seneca Lake, of course, supplies drinking water to the communities around it.

Fair Lakes Institute at Hobart and William Smith estimates that at about 100,000 people.

It also supports wine and tourism in a fishing economy that has nothing to do with Bitcoin or AI.

And there are a lot of concerns, reasonable concerns with AI right now.

And welcome as well to Dr. Becca Morris.

Today, our guest is a leading voice in the intersection of inflammation, hematopoiesis, and resolution biology, Dr. Katherine C. McNamara, professor in the Department of Immunology and Microbial Disease at Albany Medical College, where she leads the McNamara Lab.

Dr. McNamara earned her Bachelor of Science from Hobart and William Smith Colleges in 2000, followed by her PhD in microbiology from the University in Pennsylvania in 2006.

Her research focuses on the hematopoietic system response to and recovers from stress caused by infection, inflammation and aging, with a particular emphasis on the critical role of macrophages in the bone marrow niche.

In recent years, she has brought specialized pro-resolving mediators into this field, demonstrating how SPMs, such as Resolving E1, can restore atherosclerosis, rescue marrow function in severe aplastic anemia, and how resolving D2 and related pathways influence macrophage senescence, aging, and atherosclerosis.

He was, he was like, "You know that, like, this is a thing, right?" And he had brought in another, uh, coach that he had known for a long time, um, and did, like, a, a weekend with our team.

Maybe that's what's inevitable, and if so, then it strikes me as that's the kind of thing that popular movements, working class movements can actually go against.
