We’re talking about vaccine mandates and asking: Are they constitutional? There’s a lot of debate and many court challenges as the federal and local governments have put various vaccine requirements in place in an effort to fight COVID-19.
Here to discuss and provide her perspective is legal expert Jennifer Oliva. She’s the director of the Center for Health and Pharmaceutical Law at Seton Hall Law and she specializes in health law and policy.
We talk about everything from a legal precedent that’s been in place for more than 100 years to how the weekly testing option impacts the legal argument.

In the past 18 months we have heard lots about the human immune system, as we all learn about how our bodies fight off Covid-19 and how the vaccine helps protect us. But this got listener John, in Alberta, Canada, thinking about how trees and plants respond to diseases and threats. Do they have immune systems and if so, how do they work? Do they have memories that mean they can remember diseases or stressful events 5 months, or 5 years down the line, to be better prepared if they encounter the same threats again?
Presenter Marnie Chesterton sets out to investigate the inner workings of plants and trees, discovering that plants not only have a sophisticated immune system, but that they can use that immune system to warn their neighbours of an attack. Some researchers are also investigating how we can help plants, especially crops, have better immune systems – whether that’s by vaccination or by editing their genes to make their immune systems more efficient.
But some plants, like trees, live for a really long time. How long can they remember any attacks for? Can they pass any of those memories on to their offspring? Crowdscience visits one experimental forest where they are simulating the future CO2 levels of 2050 to understand how trees will react to climate change.
