#AcademicRunPlaylist - 5/2/24

Despite missing the cherry blossoms in Tokyo, they're nearly in full bloom here in Boston, making my run even more pleasant while I listened to talks for my #AcademicRunPlaylist!

First was a great panel on minimum wage and maximum hours laws since the passage of the FLSA at the American Constitution Society with ReNika Moore, Richard Schragger, Heidi Shierholz, and David Weil https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YdfTR8xF-QU

Next was an intriguing talk by Nick Obradovich on the impact of meteorological exposure on emotional expression at the Network Science Institute https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3pCizJk9Ro

Next was an excellent talk by Damon Centola on how behavior spreads on networks at the Santa Fe Institute. This is a good entry point to Centola's influential work on complex contagion https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0fDcUJMzkI

Next was an important panel on workplace sexual harassment and NDAs at the New York University School of Law with Victoria (Vicki) A. Lipnic, Mike Delikat, Samuel Estreicher, James Philbin, Zoe Salzman, and Sara Ziff. The conversation here is unfortunately still incredibly relevant despite being 6 years old, with important insight into the legal landscape and corporate policies that can reduce the likelihood of harassment and effectively deal with it if it happens. Ziff's work on targeting improvements in the modeling industry was particularly insightful and powerful. Highly recommend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTw-w9gnjjM

Next was a wide-ranging talk by Stephen Senn on the history of p-values at the Royal Statistical Society https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJIc_9wzh6Y

Next was an informative talk by Steven Vogel on Japan's post-WWII approach to equitable economic growth at the Weatherhead Center for International Affairs at Harvard University. I would lean much more on immigration and gender-focused work reforms than Vogel, but his perspective here is important to consider https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9yxUy9DUw08
