1. What are the risks and benefits of using recombination to generate new receptors on the developing T and B cells?

2. There is a certain symmetry about B and T cell development. In each case there is a chain that undergoes VJ recombination and one that does V(D)J recombination. Do you have any thoughts about why this might be?

3. When antigen is recognized the system develops Effector and Memory cells. Why do you think we have immunological memory? What is it about human life history (and more generally vertebrates) that makes this important?

4. What are the tradeoffs in vaccine use? How do they change when the prevalence of disease changes?

Highlight 5 different resistance training exercises that could be used to overload muscles of the hand and forearm contributing to differing types of grip strength Please justify why such exercises would be beneficial and put them into a practical scenario (training for sport, rehabilitation, bodybuilding, anti-aging..... etc). You may select exercises that primarily target other joints and muscle groups as long as they still provide sufficient enough stimulus to the forearm, wrist, and hand to improve grip strength
