Join us for a behind-the-scenes look into how Moderna translated science into medicine, and the future for this vaccine and COVID.

Sponsored by Jason Weiner and Nicole Zatlyn, the Vilna Shul Lifesavers Speaker Series invites you to engage deeply with global thinkers, influencers and philanthropists championing social justice and positive change.

These unique, intimate conversations profoundly touch those present by providing behind-the-scenes opportunities to engage with leaders that are tackling important, global issues in science, art, religion, business and politics.
