#AcademicRunPlaylist - 7/14/24

It's always a good day to donate platelets, and while sitting in a chair for a few hours you can also listen to talks for your #AcademicRunPlaylist!

Next was a sadly timely panel on the implications of the threats to democracy in the US for workers and unions at the Burnes Center for Social Change with Seth Harris, Risa Lieberwitz, and Diana Reddy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqGWE8sWzNA

Next was an interesting talk by Ivan Rajic on why companies can grow to surprisingly large sizes at the Cambridge Society for Economic Pluralism https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gX7v5lAsFbk

Next was a great panel on the ethics of innovative surgery at the Harvard Medical School Center for Bioethics with Paul Ford, Darin Dougherty, and Elizabeth Hohmann https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vFEZe1JPtg

Next was an informative panel on gender and enterprise development in Kenya at Strathmore University with Ruth Kiraka and David Wang'ombe https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EZUmjyW9bY

Next was a thought-provoking talk by Peter Dodds on using NLP to measure the happiness, health, and stories of different groups at the Northwestern Institute on Complex Systems - NICO https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVUwpVfnmwo

Next was a fascinating talk by Claire Langhamer on emotions and gender at work during the 1950s at the School of Advanced Study, University of London https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PO15xD1w0zY

Next was an intriguing talk by Mehdi Moussaid on social influence and collective behaviors in pedestrian crowds at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UoifmDFu-kc
