#AcademicRunPlaylist - 7/31/24

It was pretty humid today, but I was still able to get out on a run and enjoy the wildlife while listening to talks for my #AcademicRunPlaylist!

First was an amazing conversation with Minseok Jang on Standard Oil, kerosene, and anti-monopolist action at the Hagley Museum and Library. There's an instructive confluence of business practices, market power, and technology here, with profound implications for today. Highly recommend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0huAXu8EsY

Next was a fantastic conversation with David Correia on the complex causes and effects of the 1902 anthracite coal strike at the Hagley Museum. This is an endlessly fascinating exchange, getting into the downstream effects of pricing/business model changes, the deplorable working conditions in the early 1900s, the intricacies of coal mining, and more.

Next was an incredible talk by Nikola Stikov on reproducibility and the future of quantitative MRI research at the University of Washington eScience Institute. Stikov reveals that MRI machines aren't measurement devices (!) and there's huge variance between and within manufacturers. He then discusses the implications for research, later reviewing efforts to rectify this state of affairs. Highly recommend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1fwXzxoM6jI
