#AcademicRunPlaylist - 1/29/25

It was definitely warmer today, but before the ice melted I was able to get out a bit and listen to some talks for my #AcademicRunPlaylist!

First was an important panel on the global impact of business and human rights litigation with Ebony Birchall, Taqbir Huda, Anaïs Tobalagba, and William Dodge at the Oxford Law https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jn9m9uAGr2c

Next was a fantastic conversation with Adriana Robertson and Slava Fos on how companies manage and disclose proposals around annual shareholder meetings on the Shareholder Primacy podcast. Highly recommend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=silJspW7Eds

Next was an intriguing discussion with David Robbe on why human brains likely don't directly measure time on the Brain Inspired podcast. The thought experiment around trying to keep track of time yourself without motion, counting, or any external cues was enlightening https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvmPE4r1GlM

Next was a short talk by Majeed Kazemitabaar on how using LLMs for beginner coders transitioning from Scratch to Python improves learning at Ai2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1cnJ6X8ubf8

Last was a compelling talk by Anita Chan on the long and continuing role of eugenics in big tech at DigiLabour https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbyelDrhIZY
