Opera Goes Viral (and Public!) at the Lincoln Memorial
It’s not your grandpa's opera on Father's Day - and that’s the point. Italian conductor Alvise Casellati is bringing world-class opera to the Lincoln Memorial on June 15, part of a growing global movement to make classical music radically more accessible.
This year’s surprise twist? A TikTok contest winner will sing the National Anthem with a full orchestra—alongside Met Opera soprano Leah Hawkins and international tenor Murat Karahan.
Casellati is available to discuss how opera is shedding its elitist image, reaching new audiences, and even helping heal—he’ll also perform for young patients at Children’s National Medical Center on June 13 — spotlighting a 20-year old patient with a brain tumor who is now pursuing a career in music.

2025 Job Market Tightens: Openings Shrink, Layoffs Rise, Anxiety Grows
The U.S. job market is cooling—fast. Openings have dropped to 7.2 million (from 12.1M in 2022), layoffs are climbing to early-pandemic levels, and 81% of Americans worry about losing their jobs. From AI displacement and federal downsizing to tariff-driven business instability, the pressure is hitting workers at every level.
Rita McGrath, Columbia Business School professor and expert on strategy in volatile markets, is available to break down what’s driving the shift—and what job seekers can do to adapt before the window narrows further.

The Disease Doctors Miss—and the Program Fighting to Change That
One in 10 women and girls live with endometriosis—often undiagnosed for years. Despite its link to infertility and chronic pain, most OB/GYNs receive less than an hour of training on it. A new CME-accredited program from Think Endo and Mayo Clinic is fixing that, giving frontline providers the tools to spot symptoms earlier and intervene sooner.
Speak with the powerhouse team behind it—including Corinne Foxx, Shannon Cohn, and the Mayo Clinic and Harvard physicians—on how they’re rewriting the playbook on endometriosis care.
