#AcademicRunPlaylist - 7/30/24

Thanks to David Turetsky for sending over entertaining reading material, which made a great coda to the day after I listened to a number of talks for my #AcademicRunPlaylist!

First was a great conversation with Andrea Matwyshyn on technology competition policy lessons from the US vs IBM trial at the Hagley Museum and Library https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4US25yV-CTs

Next was a compelling podcast with Ryan Calo on the new threats to privacy from algorithms and proposals for government action at the Lawfare Institute https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPNQ_oSHo1s

Next was a fascinating discussion with Hunter Moskowitz on labor, technology, and race in the early 19th century textile industry at the Hagley Museum https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnGca73JdnQ

Next was a fantastic talk by Dan Burk on the evolution of software patents at the LSE. Burk reviews the challenges with patenting software, how judicial decisions warped how these patents were framed, and ways to improve the system. Highly recommend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFC3i3LHIxs

Next was an excellent conversation with Vilja Hulden on how employers organized to combat unions before the new deal at the Hagley Museum https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UL-EPq06A0

Next was an enlightening discussion with Pınar Akman on unpacking the notion of abuse in EU competition law at the Digital Markets Research Hub https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1x3k811srBY

Next was an interesting conversation with Amy Edwards on self-employment in Britain from 1950-2000 at the Hagley Museum https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JY0CXzWWbwg

Next was an important discussion with Subha Mani and Neha Agarwal on the efficacy of vocational and apprenticeship training programs in developing countries on the VoxDev podcast https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDriPTAWk2U

Next was an illuminating conversation with Jiemin Tina Wei on studies on industrial and workplace fatigue from 1900-1950 and the complicated relationship with labor rights, corporate power, and political ideology at the Hagley Museum https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kp9BEqc6K_E

Next was an amazing talk by Russell Poldrack on problems with reproducibility in neuroimaging and science more broadly at the University of Washington eScience Institute. Poldrack delivers a devastating takedown of the state of neuroimaging research today, then examines potential fixes (IMO accepting studies to journals before the data is collected would fix most perverse incentives here). Highly recommend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Im7FPk9TpYk

Next was a wide-ranging discussion with Brent Cebul on the history of the tight relationship between US businesses and the development and delivery of government programs at the Hagley Museum https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQ7fA8qER9I
