A rippling pond on a sunny day, with a number of small, slightly grey clouds dotting the sky. A few bare branches stretch over the near bank, while forest lines the far bank, punctuated by a few houses

I had a fairly hectic day, but I was able to get out for a bit and take it easy while listening to talks for my #AcademicRunPlaylist!

First was an excellent panel on modernizing competition policy in the EU at the CEPR with Jan de Loecker, Nils Redeker, Sander Tordoir, Tomaso Duso, Tommaso Valletti, and Cristina Caffarra https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Nv5ejKI7ns

Next was a fascinating talk by Helen Gubby on using patent disputes of the industrial revolution to view modern patent disputes at the Cambridge Faculty of Law https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLsHpCpbiSY

Next was an interesting talk by Sean Bottomley on the specification requirement in UK patent law and the diffusion of technology during the 18th century at the Cambridge Faculty of Law https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2CTqjyEZSg

Next was an engaging talk by Savannah Cofer on designing origami voxels for robotics (!) at Stanford University https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9oTDE1GWAE

Last was a wide-ranging talk by Jeffrey Ichnowski on learning for dynamic robot manipulation of deformable and transparent objects (including robot hands spinning pens!) at the Carnegie Mellon University Robotics Institute https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DvvFEh0PmvU&t=1s
