Every year there is some kind of health scare capturing America's attention. From SARS to Coronavirus, warnings have been issued to make the public aware of a possible epidemic. However, no public health warnings have ever been issued regarding the Gun Violence that is ravaging America. Gun Violence has reached epidemic proportions as 109 lives a day were claimed in 2017 alone. What can we do to address this concern as a public health issue? What roles can research and education play in helping to curb the violence? Join us as we discuss the ways we can reframe the Gun debate in America.

Government leaders are finding it more and more difficult to secure the funding necessary to maintain services for their constituents. This situation has led them to turn to historically untoward means of boosting revenues such as casinos, sports betting, and marijuana. Many believe allowing and taxing such activity will help communities bridge the gaps in their budgets, while others question the negative impacts on society. Join us as we weigh the social and financial impacts of Taxing Vice in our communities.
