SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Lock-in and productive innovations: implications for firm-to-firm innovation pass-through
DESCRIPTION:Firms innovate to improve efficiency and reduce their costs of production (productive innovations) and to increase customer dependency by reducing the substitutability of their products (lock-in innovations). In this paper\, I quantitatively study the macroeconomic implications of lock-in innovations for aggregate productivity and market power. I develop a theoretical framework that allows firms to invest in lock-in innovations by reducing product substitutability\, while also nesting standard macroeconomic models of productive innovations. A key prediction of the model is that productive innovations by suppliers increase customer firms’ sales by lowering input costs\, while lock-in innovations decrease customer firms' sales by allowing suppliers to charge higher prices for products that are harder to substitute. I use this theoretical insight to identify the nature of innovation in the data and calibrate the model to the U.S. economy. Informed by the observed changes in the response of customer firms' sales to their suppliers' innovations\, I find that the incidence of lock-in innovations among high-markup firms has increased significantly in the post-2000 period. Moreover\, had the incidence of lock-in innovations remained at pre-2000 levels\, observed aggregate productivity would have been 3% higher\, median markups would have stayed at pre-2000 levels\, and markup dispersion would have been 9% lower.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Tuesday Seminar Series - Experimental evolution of virulence in bacteriophages
DESCRIPTION:Description: Virulence is the measure of harm inflicted on a host by a parasite. It is a central component of parasite fitness and forms one part of a widely studied trade-off in evolutionary biology\; the virulence-transmission tradeoff. The evolution of virulence has been studied extensively over the last 4 decades but any changes in virulence are largely investigated either in theory or simple empirical experiments that focus on one-to-one host-parasite relationships. In chapter 1 of my dissertation work\, I will use phage-bacteria model systems to empirically investigate how parasite virulence evolves in assemblages with multiple hosts and parasites. In addition to being tractable models for host-parasite coevolution\, bacteria-phage communities can be used as a kind of living epidemiological model. In chapter 2\, I will use phage pathogens with starkly different life cycles (chronic and temperate) to conduct experimental tests of evolutionary-epidemiological theory and question if pathogen virulence in “twindemic” scenarios adapts to the predicted epidemiological optima. Finally\, when multiple infections are common\, pathogens exhibit unique life-cycle strategies that may prioritize virulence or prudence. Recent discoveries of phage signaling systems raise questions about how switching between virulent and prudent life cycles occurs molecularly\, and the role phage-to-phage communication plays. In the final chapter\, I will investigate phage communication’s role in modulating virulence.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:From Prognosis to Presence: The Making of a Perinatal Bereavement Care Program
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Emily Morris and Dr. Luke Gatta\n\nFrom Prognosis to Presence:\n\nThe Making of a Perinatal Bereavement Care Program\nPregnancy is often filled with hope. The hope of new life and a bright future. But for some families\, that hope is shattered when they learn that their baby has a life-limiting condition and may die shortly after birth. How do clinicians care for families in these moments? How do we offer comfort\, presence\, and guidance when medicine cannot offer a cure? Please join us for a conversation with Dr. Emily Morris and Dr. Luke Gatta of Vanderbilt University Medical Center\, who will discuss the development of Vanderbilt’s perinatal hospice program and what shared decision-making looks like for families facing these diagnoses. Drawing from his clinical work and ethics training\, Dr. Gatta will explore how interdisciplinary teams support parents through complex decisions while honoring their values\, hopes\, and love for their child.\nDr. Gatta is an Assistant Professor in Maternal-Fetal Medicine\, having done his Ob/Gyn residency and MFM fellowship at Duke\; Dr. Morris is an Assistant Professor in Neonatology\, having done her Pediatrics residency at University of Michigan and Neonatology fellowship at Vanderbilt. They are each Core Faculty in the Center of Biomedical Ethics and Society at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine\n\nWhen: Tuesday\, April 14th from 12-1pm\nWhere:  On Zoom

SUMMARY:Performance:Julie Zhu\, carillon
DESCRIPTION:Assistant Professor of Performing Arts Technology Julie Zhu performs on the Charles Baird Carillon\, an instrument of 53 bronze bells located inside the Burton Memorial Tower. The largest bell\, which strikes the hour\, weighs 12 tons\, while the smallest bell\, 4½ octaves above\, weighs just 15 pounds.\n\nThirty-minute recitals are performed on the Charles Baird Carillon at noon every weekday that classes are in session\, followed by visitor Q&A with the carillonist. The bell chamber may be accessed via a combination of elevator and stairs. Take the elevator to the highest floor possible (floor 8)\, and then climb two flights of stairs (39 steps) to the bell chamber (floor 10). Hearing protection earmuffs are provided for visitors. Be prepared to walk on ice and snow in the bell chamber during winter. Built in 1936\, the Charles Baird Carillon is not ADA accessible. Visitors with mobility concerns are invited to visit the Lurie Carillon.
