A selfie of me in front of an old white church with a Pride flag in the right window in the late afternoon. I'm a bald, middle-aged, white man with a red beard flecked with white. I'm wearing glasses with a metal top rim, a blue wrap around earbud in my left ear, and a red t-shirt.

It was positively toasty out today, and while basking in the unseasonable weather I listened to talks for my #AcademicRunPlaylist!

First was a great conversation with Raghuram Rajan on the Indian economy and the complex nature of service exports on the VoxDev podcast https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=blmDjuoyhg4

Next was an interesting talk by Isabel Habicht on gender differences in career trajectories in German academia at the Institute for Analytical Sociology (IAS) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkkKZ4NLduo

Next was an engaging session on the present and future of industrialization at VoxDev with Tristan Reed, Rodimiro Rodrigo, Gustavo de Souza, and Markus Poschke https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rX2dcat_Z2E

Next was a compelling panel on opportunities and challenges in AI regulation at the Hamilton Project with Tara Sinclair, Catherine Tucker, and Nicol Turner Lee https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TP7QXKM4NFU

Next was an excellent talk by Bedoor AlShebli on quantifying inequities across the scientific production pipeline at IAS https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YiAuP0fUsqs

Next was a thought-provoking session on AI's (non) impact on the labor market at the Hamilton Project with Jed Kolko, Bharat Chandar, Martha Gimbel (who knocks every question out of the park IMO), and Nathan Goldschlag https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yiMn0jWB3p0

Last was a discussion on gender bias in AI systems at the LSE with Pragya Agarwal, Karen Blake, Carrie Friese, and Elizabeth Stokoe https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AoaIJnwRV0
