#AcademicRunPlaylist - 5/6/24

I'm really enjoying my new shirt (highly recommend for the ML-inclined person in your life), and I also enjoyed listening to talks today for my #AcademicRunPlaylist!

First was a slate of talks at the New York University School of Law by Jordan Barry (collusion in markets with syndication), Marek Martyniszyn (competitive harm across borders), and Wentong Zheng (signaling and collusion) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lV1_vKWM-os

Next was an intriguing talk by Long Tran-Thanh on attacking reinforcement learning agents via data poisoning and defensive strategies at Monash Information Technology https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQ0X3At8Tb4

Next was an engaging conversation with Scott Sonenshein with different firm approaches to adversity on Sekou Bermiss's Lit Review Podcast https://thelitreview.podbean.com/e/the-lit-review-an-amj-podcast-scott-sonenshein-s3e4/

Next was a fascinating talk by L. Mahadevan on how swarms make decisions and behave at the Santa Fe Institute https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vZJHZ2Q9RY

Next was an interesting talk by Jonas L. Juul on how small groups can lead to an anti-establishment majority in networks at the Network Science Institute https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9sSJeL9waQ&t=1s

Next was a nice talk by Erina Ytsma on effort and selection effects of performance pay in research at the MIT Initiative on the Digital Economy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYFjr3muWKE

Next was a fantastic talk by Michelle Ryan on how context constrains women's career choices at the University of Melbourne. Ryan takes an absolute hammer to the "lean in” approach with rigorous data and analysis. Highly recommend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5YF9QKkE_Q

Next was an excellent symposium on employment standards in Canada and the fissuring workplace at Western University with Kevin Banks, Harry Arthurs, and Leah Vosko https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYGoBVXUxXI
