Guest Speaker: Daniel McManus, PhD Postdoctoral Scholar, Stanford University
Daniel McManus, PhD, is an immunologist whose research focuses on how CD8 T cells make critical developmental decisions during viral infection and how these choices influence long-term immune protection. He earned his doctorate in Immunology from Emory University in the laboratory of Rafi Ahmed, where he identified an early precursor CD8 T cell population with remarkable developmental flexibility. His work demonstrated that these cells adapt their fate based on infection outcomes—forming long-lived memory cells when infections are rapidly cleared, or sustaining immune responses through a balance of self-renewal and effector function during persistent infections.
Join the National Parks of Boston and BHCC for a screening and discussion of the Mohegan Tribe’s historical film "Up and Down the River."
Spanning the colonial and American Revolutionary eras, "Up and Down the River" delves into the difficult decisions made by members of the Mohegan Tribe at these pivotal periods in both tribal and U.S. history. Featured in this film is the Ashbow family, including Hannah and her son Samuel Ashbow Jr. Choosing to fight alongside the American colonists, Samuel Ashbow Jr. died at the Battle of Bunker Hill in 1775, becoming one of the first Indigenous soldiers to die in the American Revolution.
Following the film showing, there will be a reflective conversation between Melissa Tantaquidgeon Zobel (Mohegan, Council of Elders Vice Chair and co-writer of the film) and endawnis Spears (Diné/ Ojibwe/ Chickasaw/ Choctaw, Co-Founder, Akomawt Educational Initiative).
This program is free to the public. Registration is required.
Doors open at 5:30 p.m. Program begins promptly at 6 p.m.
