Hey folks, Alex here, writing this from the beautiful Vancouver BC, Canada. I'm here for NeurIPS 2024, the biggest ML conferences of the year, and let me tell you, this was one hell of a week to not be glued to the screen. After last week banger week, with OpenAI kicking off their 12 days of releases, with releasing o1 full and pro mode during ThursdAI, things went parabolic. It seems that all the AI labs decided to just dump EVERYTHING they have before the holidays?

Online behavioral advertising has raised privacy concerns due to its dependence on extensive tracking of individuals' behaviors and its potential to influence them. Those concerns have been often juxtaposed with the economic value consumers are expected to gain from receiving behaviorally targeted ads. Those purported economic benefits, however, have been more frequently hypothesized than empirically demonstrated. We present the results of two online experiments designed to assess some of the consumer welfare implications of behaviorally targeted advertising using a counterfactual approach. Study 1 finds that products in ads targeted to a sample of online participants were more relevant to them than randomly picked products but were also more likely to be associated with lower quality vendors and higher product prices compared to competing alternatives found among search results. Study 2 replicates the results of Study 1. Additionally, Study 2 finds the higher product relevance of products in targeted ads relative to randomly picked products to be driven by participants having previously searched for the advertised products. The results help evaluate claims about the direct economic benefits consumers may gain from behavioral advertising.

Today, my guest is Dave Snowden, a leading expert in complexity theory and knowledge management. Dave is the creator of the Cynefin Framework, which is a tool for understanding challenges and helping us make decisions within the right context. His work is international in nature. It covers government and industry, looking at complex issues relating to strategy and organizational decision-making. He is a popular and passionate keynote speaker on a range of topics, and he's well-known for his pragmatic cynicism - and you will hear that come through as you listen to this episode. I wish I had come across Dave's work earlier in my career because I think I'd have made some different career choices. In particular, his 2007 Harvard Business Review article with Mary Boone is excellent. It was on the cover of the November edition of the HBR and won the Academy of Management Award for Best Paper of that year. In this episode, we dive into the nuances of decision-making in complex environments. He walks us through the Cynefin Framework and how it helps us understand the challenges at hand. Dave shares insights into how organizations can avoid the pitfalls of traditional decision-making approaches that often oversimplify complex issues. We also explore the role of narrative in making sense of complexity and how his work with something called SenseMaker, supports capturing and interpreting diverse perspectives. If you're interested in how to navigate complexity and make better decisions in uncertain times, this episode is a must-listen.

With record-breaking food prices in 2022, it has become more expensive for families to buy the foods that they need. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, helps families purchase foods but families frequently spend their benefits before the next benefit cycle. USDA modifies SNAP benefits every year as a cost-of-living adjustment. But was the change in fiscal year 2023 enough to keep pace with food price inflation? Today, we talk with Elaine Waxman from the Urban Institute to find out. Interview Summary   You recently completed an analysis on the gap between SNAP benefits and the real cost of a meal. Can you tell us what you found?   Absolutely. I think it helps to start with the fact that for many households, SNAP is a supplement to their budget that they would spend on food. But for about four in 10 households, it is their food budget. In other words, they're deemed to have zero income available to purchase food. What we've done is look at how adequate is the benefit for those households, the ones that receive the maximum benefit. Given overall questions about SNAP adequacy, but because there's such wide variation in geographic food prices, something that I think we all know intuitively based on our everyday lives but don't realize that, in fact in the lower 48 states, SNAP is not adjusted for any of those differences in food prices. It doesn't matter if you live in rural Texas or rural Idaho or on the Coast, your benefit is the same if you're receiving that maximum benefit. What we find is that particularly, based on those experiences in 2022 that we all felt when we showed up at the cash register, 99% of counties in the US had cost for what we would call a moderately priced meal that exceeded the maximum SNAP benefit when we think about that on a per-meal basis. So that was very concerning obviously because people have been relying very heavily on SNAP throughout the pandemic. For a period, there were extra benefits, what is known as emergency allotments, but those have gone away now. As you mentioned at the start, we do get a yearly cost of living adjustment and it was pretty big last year compared to most years and it did help, but the maximum SNAP benefit did not cover the cost of a meal in 78% of count. So that's an improvement from 99% to 78%. But clearly, in the majority of the US, we're still not really able to fully tap the value of SNAP. And since SNAP is a big part of our strategy for reducing food insecurity, that's something we should all be concerned about.   I think this is really important for listeners to understand. There aren't regional adjustments in the SNAP benefits and there are huge price differences depending on where you are in the US. I know some work out of the Economic Research Service of USDA found that same finding in some earlier years. And so it's really important to see what happens, especially during an inflationary period. Thank you for sharing that. I want to talk about one way that we understand how SNAP benefits are set. And so, USDA updated the Thrifty Food Plan which is the basis of SNAP benefits or at least the maximum benefit level in 2021, and it was the first time since the mid two-2000s. What did that mean for the adequacy of SNAP benefits? And what do we know about how inflation has further affected SNAP benefits?   Yes, great question. It was a very important move on the part of USDA to implement that update to the Thrifty Food Plan, which basically is the market basket of assumptions about food purchasing that USDA relies on to set all SNAP benefits. So it's a critical piece of information. Even though it might sound like inside baseball, to some people, the Thrifty Food Plan really matters. As you noted, it had not been updated since I think 2006. And we all know that not only have prices changed a lot, but the ways in which we acquire food has changed a lot. We buy a lot more prepared foods even to eat at home. A lot more people are working and so the assumption that you can cook everything from scratch doesn't really hold for a lot of households anymore. a number of those assumptions were updated. And for a period, that made a big improvement in that SNAP maximum benefit that we just talked about. Unfortunately, that was eroded by the pretty unprecedented rise in food prices throughout 2022, which of course, partly relates to supply chain issues that emerged during the pandemic. The Ukraine war has certainly had a significant impact on food supply chains. The upshot was we had food price increases that we hadn't seen since the early 1970s. So that's where we were this time last year in terms of the maximum benefit, even with those improvements back to not covering the vast majority of counties in terms of cost adequacy. That cost-of-living adjustment helps somewhat, but I think the lesson we should take from this is that we have an underlying adequacy problem with the Thrifty Food Plan. It's really a bare bones assumption set, and a lot of folks have advocated that we move away from that to something that's called the low-cost food plan. It's a little bit more generous. It's a sort of bare bones basic shopping, but the Thrifty Food Plan may just not be the right template anymore. And if we want to tackle the persistent issue of food insecurity in this country, we've got to deal with this underlying SNAP adequacy issue.   I think this is really an important issue. I want to push a little bit further on the Thrifty Food Plan itself in terms of what it means. Please correct me if I get it wrong. It's this idea of a least-cost diet that is nutritionally adequate. It's looking at the dietary guidelines to help provide constraints to make sure people are eating a nutritious meal and it's also based off a minimum cost expenditure for what that diet would look like. It's based off a family of two adults and two children, and it doesn't incorporate lots of different family structures. Is that a fair assessment? And are there then some concerns about what the Thrifty Food Plan is?   I think what you're suggesting is basically correct and one of the issues about the Thrifty Food Plan is that when it was first developed, it really wasn't envisioned as a sustainable diet. It was really more of an emergency sort of meal plan. Like you're very strapped for resources, you can provide minimal nutrition for your household. But this is not what we want for people on an ongoing basis. One of the problems about the assumptions in the Thrifty Food Plan has also been that when we think about a household of two adults and two children, well, children eat really differently depending on their age, right? A five-year old doesn't eat anything like a 15-year-old. There are a lot of issues around household composition, but also just what do we mean when we say we want nutrition security for people, right? We want people to be able to eat healthfully in a sustaining way and I really think our ongoing look at SNAP adequacy suggests we're not there. We're not leveraging the tools we need to tackle not only food insecurity, but the fact that we have an epidemic of chronic diet-sensitive disease in this country.   Thank you for that. You know, this raises important questions about policy frame and the policy space around food access and food security. The Farm Bill is usually the legislative vehicle for making major changes to SNAP. But this past spring, the debt ceiling debate negotiations resulted in adjustments in the SNAP work requirements for some groups and new exemptions for others. What changes were made? And more broadly, what does research tell us about the impact of work requirements and time limits?   It's been an interesting year, to say the least, for the progress of the Farm Bill. Just to remind everybody, the Farm Bill is that place that we normally make major changes and reauthorize significant federal nutrition programs like SNAP roughly every five years. This year, the debt ceiling negotiations sort of preempted a lot of the ongoing discussion in preparing for the Farm Bill, because it took up this issue of time limits specifically focused on benefits for what we call individuals who are able-bodied adults without dependents. Sometimes, you'll hear the term ABAWD. I prefer not to use it because people are not the policy, but it's really focused on single adults who don't have custodial children. The idea is that if you are not able to meet a minimum work requirement of 80 hours a month or equivalent activities, you are limited to three months of benefits in a 36-month period. So that's extremely draconian, especially when we think about what we all know about the instability of low-wage work, right? And in periods where we have widespread unemployment, like we did for a bit in the pandemic, we have the ability to waive those requirements for everyone but they are now coming back. In addition to them coming back, they are now being increased in terms of the number of people it will cover based on the debt ceiling deal. It used to be folks 18 to 49. It will phase in now for people up to age 55, which is also an interesting thing. Because as people age, they sometimes have less ability to be flexible in the workplace and to move into new positions. There's a whole another conversation we could have about that. I guess a bright side of the debt ceiling bill was that it also created some new exemptions for those requirements, and they were focused on very specific groups including veterans, people who are unhoused, and young adults moving out of foster care. So those are all groups that we know are particularly vulnerable when it comes to just monthly finances and their ability to engage in the workplace. And that's a good thing but it doesn't mean that there aren't lots of other folks out there who have other significant challenges that ought to be recognized. And because it's a very sort of discretionary kind of process, we don't even have confidence that everyone in those groups we just talked about would actually receive a waiver. So why does all this matter? It matters because there's quite a body of research now that suggests that these time limits and work requirements don't do what they set out to do, which is to meaningfully increase either work effort or household income. They don't really accomplish the stated goal. They also cost money because you have to administer them and have a lot more interaction with the clients. And not only then do they not achieve those work goals, but they actually push a lot of people off of SNAP and/or trim them through, as we call people who move in and out because of administrative problems. What we have is a group who already has higher than typical food insecurity rates. We're making it more difficult for them to engage in SNAP. And SNAP is our number one tool for reducing food insecurity from the federal program portfolio. On balance, I think a lot of folks in the food security space would argue that time limits should just go away, right? That's not where we should be putting our investment if we want people to have more self-sufficiency and if we want them to eat better.   I really do appreciate the way you are humanizing the experiences of individuals who may depend on SNAP, but as the new policies are being implemented, may age out in a strange way. This is really a useful way for us to understand the implications of when we make decisions or changes to policy, it can have really negative consequences and may not achieve the goals that are at least stated. This is an important part of this conversation. But we're looking at a federal shutdown and if an agreement isn't reached, we could see some serious implications for families. Some lawmakers are calling for across the board cuts of most discretionary spending programs as part of any agreement. Would those cuts affect federal nutrition programs?   Good question, so the short answer is it's just going to be generally disruptive across the board, but the type of program does matter. So SNAP is what we call an entitlement which means that anybody who is eligible for it will receive those benefits on an ongoing basis. But another very important program that many people are familiar with is called WIC and that is a program focused on prenatal care and postpartum care for moms and infants and children up to the age of five. WIC reaches millions of children across the country, and it is not an entitlement program, which means that it's subject to an annual budget. We already have a problem with the WIC budget this year because we've had bigger increases in enrollment than were expected. I think that speaks to this issue about the continuing pressure of food prices, the loss of other pandemic supports at a time when families are still struggling to navigate basic needs. We've had more pressure on the WIC program and there was already concern that there would not be sufficient funds, let alone going into a shutdown situation. The administration has estimated that there will be a significant impact on families who will not be able to receive WIC if the shutdown were to persist. And then the bigger issue is that the time that we invest, so to speak, in shutdowns is time we're not working on the Farm Bill and having a thorough reassessment of program needs. It's likely to delay the Farm Bill agreements as well. While shutdowns, you know, are obviously very much about politics for people who have to put food on the table every week, some of which are paid for by federal salaries, right? Then this is a very real economic shock and it's unfortunately an economic shock that we could avoid.   Yes, it is important to think about how we can avoid this and reframing this as an issue about politics. But at the end of the day, there are families who are dependent on these policies, and we just had a conversation with Travis Smith at the University of Georgia about what happens when kids roll off WIC and that sort of in-between time before they enter school and that had this negative effect on the nutritional quality that these children consumed. And you can imagine that if there are disruptions in WIC while it's a smaller program than SNAP, it has important implications for the wellbeing of the families that use it. This is an important time and I'm hopeful that we will move past this impasse. Discussions about how to strengthen healthy eating for the US population are ever present. And this is particularly true for those individuals who participate in the SNAP program. What proposals are being considered for SNAP and how could we see any of those in the Farm Bill?   This is a really important topic because we actually have an evidence-based strategy for increasing the ability to purchase healthier foods like fresh fruits and vegetables and that is what they call nutrition incentives. Some people will know it as Double Up Bucks, but basically, they're programs that allow people to receive additional money for SNAP if it's put towards those kinds of purchases. That's something that's been evaluated over the last several years and seems to do exactly what we want, which is to increase those purchases. Unfortunately, it's a grant program. It's not an integral part of SNAP. It very much depends on where you live and what year it is as to whether you can access that kind of program. We're underutilizing a tool that's already there and the Farm Bill does currently reauthorize that grant program. Some people will maybe know it as what's referred to as GA/SNAP grants. But we did an analysis and showed that while they do a good job of targeting GA/SNAP grants to areas of high food insecurity, there's still lots of high food insecurity areas that don't have one available, and they're always time limited to a few years. We're not using the knowledge that we've already gained to accomplish this goal again that we're beginning to talk about, which is to really focus on nutrition security and not just basic adequacy of diet. The other thing that people often raise is, well, perhaps we should restrict purchases of certain kinds of benefits. And I think, in general, we find that Americans don't respond well to those kinds of limitations. And a concern, I think, that the food security space has about restrictions is that it's potentially very stigmatizing just to low-income people who are using a benefit when the truth is that most of America doesn't eat as well as we need to and that's a larger structural conversation. The upshot is some people would advocate for restrictions on things like soda and candy, maybe other snacks. I think we could all understand why we wouldn't want to prioritize that, but the fact of the matter is that restrictions don't make the other things more affordable, and that is exactly what the nutrition incentives are intended to do.   Bio   Elaine Waxman is a senior fellow in the Income and Benefits Policy Center at the Urban Institute.  Her expertise includes food insecurity, food access, federal nutrition programs, social determinants of health and broader issues affecting families with low income.

In the United States, food insecurity is unevenly distributed. Recent data suggests that white households have nearly a third to one half the food insecurity rate of Black and Hispanic households. While research on the reasons for food insecurity typically focuses on income, a body of research suggests that wealth could be an important factor in food security. According to today's guest, Conner Bailey, professor emeritus of Rural Sociology at Auburn University: "Land is one of the major sources of wealth controlled by Black families in the South, and much of this land continues to be owned as heirs property." Thus, if we want to understand differential food and security, we need to consider that the wealth implications of heirs property. Interview Summary   Connor, recently, the topic of heirs property has attracted much attention from researchers, policymakers, and civil society. Can you briefly describe the phenomenon of heirs property and why you think it's important?   I think of heirs property as, in a phrase, "the legacy of Jim Crow." By that, what I mean is that during the Jim Crow era, imagine say 1880, you're 15 years after the end of the Civil War, and you're a Black farmer, and you've bought some land, are you going to write a will to pass that property down to your heirs? Probably not, because your access to education is pretty limited. Moreover, there are no Black lawyers because where are the Black lawyers going to come from if there's no education for Black people, right? That's the Jim Crow era. So, what's your choice? You're not going to go to the white lawyers for the courthouse gang that you simply don't trust. The whole legal system is something that Black farmers, and Black people generally, fundamentally did not trust. This is the era of lynching after all, when people would be pulled from their homes, and in front of the law, nobody would be able to say who perpetrated these crimes. It was a difficult time for African-Americans, for Black people, for Black farmers generally. They wouldn't write wills because they didn't trust the legal system. What we end up with is that family that bought land in 1880, and they pass on, and the next generation, and the next generation, they're still not writing wills. We know that many people don't have wills. I don't know, Norbert, if you have a will. I don't need to know, but the fact is, many people, white and Black alike, and Hispanic and others, in this country don't have wills. But when they die, they're able to sort things out before it passes on to the next generation and becomes increasingly complex and confused and tangled. That's not true in the case of African-Americans and some other politically marginalized populations, white people in Appalachia, Hispanics, Native Americans, Hawaiians. heirs property is not just a Black phenomenon in the South, though that's where my research and most research on heirs property has been.   What we end up with in the case of the Black South, heirs property is something that is multi-generational. It's not simply dying without a will intestacy, but it's the dying without a will over multiple generations so that you end up with maybe 200 people who own a house or a piece of property, farm, or some forest land. How do you make decisions in a situation like that on maintaining a house, or improving the farmland, or planting trees, or whatever it is you're going to do with that property? How are you going to go to a bank and say, "I want a mortgage"? They're going to say, "Well, how do we know who's got the rights to sign on a mortgage?" As a result, there's no access to commercial credit. Until very recently, and we can come back to this later, Black farmers had no access to government credit programs through the US Department of Agriculture. They could not get credit loans. If you were in the Lower Ninth Ward of New Orleans and you were wiped out by hurricane Katrina, you had no access to FEMA support because you did not have clear title. Heirs property is a form legally called Tenancy in Common. That means you don't have clear title. Nobody has clear title. Everybody owns a share of the property as a whole. Now, one of the reasons it's important is it's not a small phenomenon.   Today, based on research that I've done with my colleague Ryan Thompson at Auburn University, there are in the 11 states of Appalachia and the South, 5.4 million acres of heirs property worth something like $43 billion. That's after enormous amounts of land have been lost through predatory actions. Legal but predatory partition sales, tax sales, and the like. Heirs property is a source of vulnerability. People have lost property in large areas. That whole stretch of coast of the South Atlantic, from Myrtle Beach down to Jacksonville, Florida, all that resort land, that was Black-owned land until after World War II. In the 1950s, once malaria was controlled in that area, bridges were built to the Sea Islands, developers followed, and properties were basically stolen through legal means, through something called a partition sale. Now you've got this enormous resorts being built there, much money being made, but these people who have lived there for generations have been dispossessed.   So, why is it important? It's for all these reasons, for these moral reasons, for the impact of the fact that you've still got millions of acres that's tied up in heirs property that people can't develop and utilize effectively for farming or forestry, or even for their own homes. It's one of the main reasons of wealth disparities, as you mentioned at the outset, Norbert. That the wealth disparities between white and Black are enormous. The St. Louis Fed just last month put out a study that showed that for every dollar of wealth that white Americans own, Black Americans own 24%. Black Americans own very much less wealth. Heirs property is one of the reasons. It's not the only reason, but it's one of the reasons, because lands have been stolen, lands have been lost, and those lands that still remain in heirs property, five-plus million acres just in the south of Appalachia, are underdeveloped, underutilized, and under-preserved.   Thank you for that. Connor, I want to ask you a question about trust. It's in the paper, and you mentioned it earlier, this idea of African-American, Black households, Black individuals not trusting the legal system. The reason I want to push on this is one could argue that trust could be because you may not know any better or you don't have enough information. We don't trust strangers because we just don't know what they could do. I'm wondering if another way of looking at this, something I've learned from people who do work on bioethics, Wylin Wilson here at Duke and others have talked about this, about the systems being untrustworthy. It's not that people aren't aware or can't navigate, but rather that the system or the institutions have proven not to do right by individuals. How does that characterization sit with the work that you've been doing?   Well, as I've been working on heirs property, as I have for 15, 16 years now, this phrase, "Black farmers, property owners generally did not trust the legal establishment, didn't trust lawyers, the courthouse gang," that's an easy statement to make. But as I started looking at the literature on heirs property, there wasn't a lot of background to that. I spent several months reading a bunch of older literature, W.E.B. DuBois, Arthur Raper, and others who were documenting what it meant to be Black in the rural south in the early decades of the 20th century. It's very clear to me that Black property owners and Black residents of that region as a whole had very good reasons not to trust the legal system. It was used against them in many cases. People simply avoided going to the courthouse whenever possible.   Now, this is an important point, and so thank you for exploring that with me. I've got to ask, I know you were at Auburn University and you're now retired. What led you to study heirs property and unearth its importance? Why are you still doing this work?   The second question is very easy to answer but also very important. There is a moral quality to the research that is done on heirs property. The work that I'm doing - and others, and I'm not the only one - the work that we are doing has a moral quality to it. We're trying to identify problems and redress wrongs. That's what gets me up in the morning. I mean, I'm seven, eight years, seven and a half years out from retirement. but I'm still publishing on this topic because it's important. Now, how did I come to realizing that? From a very good graduate student of mine named Janice Dyer, who was working in West Alabama on a different project, having nothing to do directly, we thought, at the time, on heirs property. The project was really on small scale wood harvesting and processing so that people could build homes using wood that's on the land that they owned. Janice came back after spending some time out in the field and said, "Hey, there's this thing, heirs property. People don't have clear title to their land." I said, "Oh, okay." I read a little bit about that, but she said, "No, no, this is a really important thing. Pay attention." Okay, Janice, I'm going to pay attention. And you know, here I am 16 years later. I'm still paying attention. One of the reasons professors get better at their jobs, and Norbert, you should appreciate this, is that we work with really bright students over time, and we gain so much from working with these students and undergraduates as well. So, I came to this because a graduate student pulled me into it and said, "Pay attention. This is important."   Thank you for that. I do agree there is something critical about engaging students to understand that topic. I want to actually take that a step further and because I know of some of the other work that you've done, how have you engaged communities in this work? Obviously, this is not an ivory tower kind of issue. This is something that affects the livelihoods of everyday people. How and in what ways are you engaging that community of folks?   I work with people in civil society organizations like the Center for Heirs Property Preservation in Charleston, South Carolina, created by a woman named Jenny Stephens back in the early, I think, 2004 or 2005, and other organizations that represent people who own heirs property. I've been working with people in the legal community through the Uniform Law Commission and all kinds of other groups. It's simply a matter of understanding that what we can do in the ivory tower is important because we can document the extent of heirs property, for example. That doesn't take working with communities, but we need to be working with people in communities affected by heirs property so that we understand the real significance of it and to keep the moral energies flowing. So, for example, my co-author on a couple of recent papers, Ryan Thomson at Auburn, he did his doctoral dissertation with the Gullah Geechee in South Carolina, which is near where Jenny Stephens in the Center for Heirs Property Preservation is located. Ryan worked actually far more closely with people who were heirs property owners and organized around that issue than I have done. But it's really important to understand from the people who are living the life of heirs property owners and who are facing the struggles to understand what are the issues so that as researchers, we can try to address those issues and try to come up with policy recommendations that might be helpful.   Thank you. One of your recent publications titled, "Heirs Property, Critical Race Theory, and Reparations," recently won the annual Rural Sociological Society's Best Paper of the Year award. First, congratulations, but secondly, can you explain your approach and your findings.   As I was saying earlier, I was looking at the question of trust, the trust of Black property owners and Black residents of the South to the legal system. As I was reading that literature, the idea of critical race theory simply emerged into my consciousness. I did not start off my reading saying, "Okay, I'm going to go look for evidence that's going to show critical race theory." Rather, it kind of emerged because critical race theory talks about the longstanding, deep institutional patterns of discrimination that are built into our legal system, our cultural system, our educational systems. They are so deeply ingrained that we often don't even recognize them, or we consciously, sometimes, ignore them. But there are discriminations built deeply into our systems sometimes that we don't recognize. What heirs property represents, as I said at the very outset, the legacy of Jim Crow. The legacy of Jim Crow is all these institutional limitations placed on Blacks in terms of access to education, legal services, and commercial loans, insurance for their properties, redlining in cities of where you could get government assistance or not. All these things are built in and are deeply embedded. Even though we have removed many of the outward mechanisms and trappings of racial discrimination, these patterns are still there. To speak of heirs property in terms of critical race theory simply made sense. It emerged the realization in my mind that this phenomenon of heirs property is rooted in these institutional relationships. It sort of hit me between the eyes with a two-by-four. It was like, wow, this is a perfect use of a theory to help explain a phenomenon. That's what academics, we should be pretty good at that, but that's what I've basically done. I don't think of myself as a theoretician, but the theories help us understand here are the key variables, the key phenomenon that we need to focus on if we're going to understand that particular phenomenon.   The question of reparations, which is the last term in that title, refers specifically to the Gullah Geechee, and I was talking about earlier, about that stretch of land. It's now billion dollar resorts. It's unrealistic to think that anybody's going to come and take that land away from Hilton and Sheraton, and all these major corporations, and give it back to the Gullah Geechee. That's just not realistic. But what if we charged a 1% lodging tax? There are already people coming and using those resorts who are already paying six and 7% on top of their bill for police and fire protection and things for the local counties and municipalities. What if we added 1% and gave that to the Gullah Geechee? There's a couple of entities, and I believe to others to make that decision. Who? But there's the Gullah Geechee Nation, and there's also a federally mandated Gullah Geechee Cultural Heritage Corridor. It's a 501 organization. Monies from that could be utilized to support the Gullah Geechee in clearing title for their remaining heirs property or for buying new properties to replace those that have been stolen, legally, but still stolen. So, to support the subsistence fishing and farming activities that have supported the Gullah Geechee for many, many generations, stating back to the post-Civil War era.   Thank you for that. This is going to really move us into this last question that's connecting this idea of, and I appreciate how you talked about how theory can help us as researchers do the work that we do, but then there are implications of that theory to actual policy and the lived experiences of folks. My question is, how has the research that you and others have done on heirs property affected policy at the local state or even federal levels?   As I said, there's a large number of researchers and others working on heirs property. I want to give a shout out to a couple of organizations that have been really critically important. The Southern Rural Development Center based at Mississippi State has become a really important convener of a lot of us working in this heirs property space. We have regular monthly Zoom calls. We have subcommittees on research, on policy, and on education and extension that meet regularly. There's a policy center at Alcorn State University that has become very important in helping organize and support research on heirs property. There's the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta that has also served as a convener and bringing people together. So, we've got individuals. We've also got some really important institutional actors that are providing continuity for those of us who are wanting to find a mechanism to interact, but they're providing that mechanism. There's a lot of people working on the question of heirs properties becoming increasingly visible not only in the research space but also among policy makers. For example, in the 2018 Farm Bill, there was wording introduced and passed in the 2018 Farm Bill, that allowed heirs property owners who were farming land to gain access to what's called a farm number through the Farm Service Agency. The farm number is critical, because if you have a farm number, you can now get a loan from USDA. Before that, heirs property owners could not. Basically, farmers operating heirs property now for the first time have access to credit through the USDA. That's a very important step forward. It actually came from a South Carolina Republican Senator Scott, and an Alabama Democrat Doug Jones, who worked up the wording on this, and it got later placed into the Farm Bill.   The other thing that's happened is that FEMA, I mentioned Katrina earlier, FEMA has revised their policies so that now, if you can prove you've lived in that home, you've lived on that property, you've paid property taxes, you've got maybe home insurance or whatever, if your property is damaged, destroyed in a natural disaster, a storm, FEMA will now help you. But 10 years ago, that was not the case. This happened only in the last couple of years. The point is, people have started to pay attention to heirs property. I've got to say people working in the media like Politico and The Atlantic and the New York Times, and The Washington Post, they've picked up on this. They've called researchers. They've called people like me and colleague Ryan, and they've gotten the facts from us, and they've developed it. They've gone and interviewed people, and they've developed the stories. And the media has also drawn a lot of attention to the issues associated with heirs property. It's been kind of a full-court press. We've all been moving forward on this.     Bio   Conner Bailey is an emeritus professor of the Department of Agricultural and Rural Sociology in the College of Agriculture at Auburn University.

Episode 166: Performing Place-based Knowledge: The Case of Aouche This podcast offers a contextual analysis of the exhibition histories and critical reception of the Algerian artist collective Aouchem. It will focus on the historical and political context that shaped Aouchem's work and how their democratizing ethos and aesthetic sensibility, rooted in Indigenous visual forms, influenced the decolonizing aesthetics of 1960s Algeria. The talk draws on contemporary Indigenous methodologies to offer a critical and theoretically informed analysis of Aouchem's work, situating it within broader debates around Indigenous knowledge, place-making, and politics of space. The central theme of this presentation is to rethink land not as an object, but as a conduit of knowledge. Using primary sources such as published interviews with the artists and their own writings, as well as exhibition catalogues, the presentation theorizes Aouchem's work as a performance of place-based knowledge. Sheyda Aisha Khaymaz is an artist, curator, poet, and PhD candidate in Art History at The University of Texas at Austin, specializing in the modern and contemporary art of the Maghrib. Their doctoral dissertation, titled “Indigenous Presentness: Translocal Politics of Amazigh Art and Resistance,” focuses on the manifold expressions of indigeneity in art and explores the nexus between Amazigh artistic production and sovereignty movements across Tamazgha—the ancestral name for the lands of Amazigh peoples. The project theorizes the new artistic forms that emerged in the region after the 1960s, especially script-based abstract painting, which draw upon ancient sign-making practices, such as tattooing and rock-engraving, as decolonial phenomena. Khaymaz's research aims to connect modern-day instances of Tamazight language activism and Indigenous revival movements with a larger discourse on indigeneity and Africanity. Khaymaz is the 2023 recipient of the Rhonda A. Saad Prize for Best Paper in Modern and Contemporary Arab Art, awarded by the Association for Modern and Contemporary Art of the Arab World, Iran, and Turkey (AMCA), and the 2022 Mark Tessler Graduate Student Prize Award, awarded by the American Institute for Maghrib Studies (AIMS). Their writing appears in the Journal of Black Studies, the E3W Review of Books, and various exhibition catalogues. This episode is part of the “Modern Art in the Maghrib” lecture series and was recorded on the 27th of April, 2023 by the Centre d'Études Maghrébines à Tunis (CEMAT).

Fabien Allo highlights his award-winning article, "Characterization of a carbonate geothermal reservoir using rock-physics-guided deep neural networks." In this episode with host Andrew Geary, Fabien shares the potential of deep neural networks (DNNs) in integrating seismic data for reservoir characterization. He explains why DNNs have yet to be widely utilized in the energy industry and why utilizing a training set was key to this study. Fabien also details why they did not include any original wells in the final training set and the advantages of neural networks over seismic inversion. He closes with how this method of training neural networks on synthetic data might be useful beyond the application to a geothermal study. This episode is an exciting opportunity to hear directly from an award-winning author on some of today's most cutting-edge geophysics tools. Listen to the full archive at https://seg.org/podcast.

His group's research has earned Best Paper awards at many top conferences, appeared in interdisciplinary journals like Nature, Nature Communications, Science Translational Medicine, and Science Robotics, and was named as an MIT Technology Review Breakthrough Technology of 2016 as well as Popular Science top innovations in 2015. Shyam's research covers a variety of topics, including mobile machine learning, networking, human-computer interaction, battery-free computing, and mobile health. He works across multiple disciplines including computer science, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, biology, and medicine. His work has been licensed by ResMed Inc, led to three startups (Jeeva Wireless, Sound Life Sciences, and Wavely Diagnostics), and is in use by millions of users. Shyam, who didn't know how to type on a keyboard until the age of 16, relates how he got into CS and discovered that more than just programming, it's also a toolkit people can use to build systems like an artist and solve some of the world's most pressing problems. He describes his work around the ambient backscatter, which uses existing radio frequency signals to power devices, and wind dispersal powered devices (and how the common dandelion provided inspiration for this research). Shyam and Rashmi also talk about his work on devices used for sleep apnea and tracking and the broader promise of ubiquitous computing in healthcare, such as democratizing medical attention to areas that don't have the same resources as the Western world. Finally, Shyam gives some insights into the entrepreneurial journey and looks toward the future of healthcare technology.

How the stare has been used throughout history How advertising is starting to reflect art from periods of disruption & conflict Fake news isn't new. How the printing press created a publishing revolution How the industrial revolution created a loss of community The rapid rise of anxiety and the loss of humour The different modes of attention and why they matter Why we can't see the wood for the trees We watch what interests us and sometimes that's advertising How emotion orientates our attention, encodes in memory & aids decision making The role of digital to support brand building ‘broad beam' advertising Why brand building becomes more important for online businesses How emotion drives more viewing of advertising in digital environments The trap of using digital style ‘narrow beam' advertising on TV What features in advertising holds attention and drives business effects The swordfish strangler called Wilford. Why uniqueness creates believability. Yorkshire Tea and creating connections Poking fun at rigidity and the serious case for humour  What's too silly to be said can be sung How colour grading can change our mood and how effective an Ad will be The pandemic and why we need a right-brained reaction The story of a dog and cone and the inspiration for this book Look Out for the book o Amazon and via the IPA's website

“A lot of the assumptions we make are bad assumptions.” When it comes to making assumptions, sometimes we marketers can't help ourselves. To avoid this, we need to ensure that we have a good mix of both quantitive and qualitative research. Dr. Duane Varan is a leader in the field of qualitative research and was my guest this week on the On Brand podcast. About Duane Varan Dr. Duane Varan is CEO of both MediaScience and HarkConnect. He is the recipient of numerous awards including the Australian Prime Minister's Award for University Teacher of the Year, and is a global pioneer in developing new methodologies for the study of audience behavior. MediaScience is a leader in lab-based audience research counting almost every major US television network, social media platform and many global brands as clients. HarkConnect is the world's most advanced qualitative research platform. Although Dr. Varan is now based in industry, he continues to contribute to academic journals. In fact, in four of the past six years, his work was voted as Best Paper of the year or runner up for Best Paper by the Journal of Advertising Research. Episode Highlights “Qualitative gives us space to explore.” I kicked off our conversation by asking Duane what makes qualitative research different. He also cautioned against the stigma that it's not as serious as quantitative. “That's a mistake.” How is HarkConnect different when it comes to qualitative research? “We have a direct measure of emotion vs. what people are telling us,” Duane said, as he shared how the technology works. A balanced diet of metrics. I couldn't resist being a little punny ... Duane stressed that there are actually three data sets that should be in your diet—qualitative research, quantitative research, and your performance metrics. What brand has made Duane smile recently? M&Ms! “I smile every time I see the characters.” To learn more about Duane, check out the websites for HarkConnect and Media Science.

Episode Summary:It is now a common phrase: fake news. Are you getting tired of it? I wanted to talk to someone who doesn't have a horse in the race and who has studied media, polling, political polarization, and the psychology of how people think about political media so I can get handle on the Trumpian bon mot that is lasting a lot longer than he did. Dr. Jennifer Jerit is that person, and this is our conversation.Syd Finkelstein Syd Finkelstein is the Steven Roth Professor of Management at the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College. He holds a Master's degree from the London School of Economics and a Ph.D. from Columbia University. Professor Finkelstein has published 25 books and 90 articles, including the bestsellers Why Smart Executives Fail and Superbosses: How Exceptional Leaders Master the Flow of Talent, which LinkedIn Chairman Reid Hoffman calls the “leadership guide for the Networked Age.” He is also a Fellow of the Academy of Management, a consultant and speaker to leading companies around the world, and a top 25 on the Global Thinkers 50 list of top management gurus. Professor Finkelstein's research and consulting work often relies on in-depth and personal interviews with hundreds of people, an experience that led him to create and host his own podcast, The Sydcast, to uncover and share the stories of all sorts of fascinating people in business, sports, entertainment, politics, academia, and everyday life. Jennifer JeritJennifer Jerit is a Professor of Government at Dartmouth College. She studies American politics with a focus on public opinion and political communication. Her research explores how information (from elected leaders and the media) influences people's attitudes as well as their knowledge about the political world. She also studies misinformation and techniques for correcting this problem. Several of her current projects examine best practices for the measurement of public opinion through survey and experimental methods. In 2010, Jerit received the Erik Erikson Early Career Award for Excellence and Creativity in the field of Political Psychology and her work has been funded by the National Science Foundation and the Economic and Social Research Council. Professor Jerit has been the recipient of Best Paper awards from the American Political Science Association, International Society of Political Psychology, and International Communication Association. She is on the editorial board of several leading political science journals and a co-editor of the Oxford Handbook of Political Psychology (3rd edition). Prior to coming to Dartmouth College, Jerit held positions at Stony Brook University, Florida State University, MIT, and University of Connecticut. Insights from this episode:Understanding the psychology of how people process and use political information.The idea that a general concept becomes a partisan issue.How specific motivations can drive behavior in order to influence others.Understanding that algorithms influence exposure to specific resources.How the pandemic is affecting general public health behaviors. Quotes from the show:“There has been, it seems, like a separation between people who study politics and people who practice it. And I'm not quite sure I understand why that's the case. I do think there are people who get phDs or maybe Master's in political science and then they go on and work in the political world, so they've been trained as political scientists. But I don't think political scientists have had the kind of experience as economists have had.” Jennifer Jerit [28:21]“The content of these two channels is obviously vastly different. It's challenging to identify the effect of that on people because people are choosing to watch these programs. You know, there's some element by which there are different people who watch these programs and so they're different to begin with. They may have different persuasions. They may have different levels of knowledge, different levels of interest. They may differ on other characteristics that we can't even mention. And so there are different viewers and they are selecting into these channels, most likely. And so that, from a social science standpoint, that's the biggest challenge: is how to identify or isolate the unique effect from the same person watching Fox versus that same person watching MSNBC.” Jennifer Jerit [30:22]“When the algorithms know what we like, it is logical for those algorithms to suggest more similar things, which takes you deeper and deeper down the same pathway that you've been on and it leads to less diversity and variety of perspectives, if you let that happen. And that's their job. And many people, I mean I was quite happy about these algorithms when Amazon said, “You might like this book.” And I said, “You know what, I think I might.” But when you start to reflect on it, algorithms are a method, a very common method everywhere really now, that leads people to narrower range of use--less exposure to diverse products, ways of thinking, books, records, who knows what.” Syd Finkelstein [34:20]“The real challenge measuring opinion through polls is that the people who agree to participate in a poll are different than the people who don't. And so even with the very highest quality probability based polls there's still the choice of whether or not you're going to participate once you've been selected to be a respondent. And so, you know, the conventional way to deal with this is through weighting, where we upweigh the responses of the people who choose to participate among these underrepresented groups. And so I think some of the thought was that that was not being done. There were some mistakes or errors in the way that was done for particular groups, particularly groups related to education in 2016. But weighting, the philosophy of that approach assumes that you know everything about the people who decided to participate; that you can solve this problem through weighting. And I'm just skeptical that that can be done. Because I think there are some differences that maybe we haven't measured--that we can't measure. Or maybe there are differences that we don't even know about.” Jennifer Jerit [45:09]Stay Connected:Syd FinkelsteinWebsite: http://thesydcast.comLinkedIn: Sydney FinkelsteinTwitter: @sydfinkelsteinFacebook: The SydcastInstagram: The SydcastJennifer JeritWebsite: http://www.jjerit.comSubscribe to our podcast + download each episode on Stitcher, iTunes, and Spotify.This episode was produced and managed by Podcast Laundry.

In this episode, we talk with Trang Hoang about preparing for video interviews and presentations. Trang is a Ph.D. Candidate in the Department of Economics at Vanderbilt University. She was an International Economics Ph.D. Fellow at Dartmouth College in the fall of 2019. Her areas of research include international trade, development, and applied microeconometrics. Her job market paper has received two awards: one for "Best Graduate Student Paper" in the FREIT-EIIT conference and a second one for "Best Paper in Applied Economics" from the Econometric Society Winter School at the Delhi School of Economics. You can check it out here. Sebastian Tello-Trillo is an Assistant Professor of Public Policy and Economics at the Frank Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy in the University of Virginia. Alex Hollingsworth is an Assistant Professor of Economics at the O'Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs in Indiana University. Show notes: In this episode we talked about hardware that we use. We don't think you need to invest as much as we did, but if you want to know what we use, for microphone we use the Samson Q2U USB. For Webcam we both use the Logitech C920. We also recommend getting some "light" whether that's coming from a ring light, or a lamp. In terms of recommendation of the week, Trang recommends getting and Apple iPad with the apple pencil. It's a pricey item but she feels she has gotten value out of it. Sebastian's recommendation is to check the application called readwise. Is an application that takes the highlights you've made on many e-books or articles and sends you an email with some of those highlights every so often. This is a great way to "remember" what you once highlighted. Alex's recommendation of the week is the paper "The Environmental Bias of Trade Policy" by Joseph S. Shapiro. Here the abstract of that article: "This paper describes a new fact, then analyzes its causes and consequences: in most countries, import tariffs and non-tariff barriers are substantially lower on dirty than on clean industries, where an industry's “dirtiness” is defined as its carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions per dollar of output. This difference in trade policy creates a global implicit subsidy to CO2 emissions in internationally traded goods and so contributes to climate change. This global implicit subsidy to CO2 emissions totals several hundred billion dollars annually. The greater protection of downstream industries, which are relatively clean, substantially accounts for this pattern. The downstream pattern can be explained by theories where industries lobby for low tariffs on their inputs but final consumers are poorly organized. A quantitative general equilibrium model suggests that if countries applied similar trade policies to clean and dirty goods, global CO2 emissions would decrease and global real income would change little."

In this episode, host Andrew Geary speaks with author Vladimir Grechka on his latest book, Anisotropy and Microseismics: Theory and Practice. Vladimir highlights why anisotropy and microseismics are a great pairing, how the shift from P-waves to shear waves changed the industry, and reflects on what we will find in seismology books in the next decade. Each chapter of the book starts with a question, followed by what's exciting about it, where the mystery might lie, and what could be the potential value of answering the question. Vladimir shares what question he was most excited to explore and what has yet to be fully answered. This is a conversation not to miss! Visit https://seg.org/podcast for the complete show notes. BIOGRAPHY Vladimir Grechka received an MSc degree (1984) in geophysical exploration from Novosibirsk State University, Russia, and a Ph.D. (1990) in geophysics from the Institute of Geophysics, Novosibirsk, Russia. He worked in the same institute from 1984 to 1994 as a research scientist. He was a graduate student at the University of Texas at Dallas from 1994 to 1995. Then, Vladimir joined the department of Geophysics at Colorado School of Mines, where he was an associate research professor and a co-leader of the Center for Wave Phenomena. From 2001 to 2012, Vladimir was a senior staff geophysicist at Shell, and from 2012 to 2019 a senior technical consultant at Marathon Oil. Since 2019, Vladimir has been a senior adviser at Borehole Seismic, focusing on novel uses of microseismic and VSP for reservoir characterization. He received the East European Award from the European Geophysical Society (1992), the J. Clarence Karcher Award (1997) from SEG, Honorable Recognition Award from EAGE (2010), and the Best Paper in The Leading Edge Award (2013) from SEG. Vladimir teaches courses on seismic anisotropy for SEG and EAGE. BOOK ABSTRACT Downhole microseismic monitoring of stimulation and production of unconventional reservoirs has resulted in renewed industry interest in seismic anisotropy. This occurred not only because anisotropy of hydrocarbon-bearing shales is among the strongest in rocks but also because of downhole microseismics shifts the focus from the standard exploration of P-waves to shear waves. The consequences of the difference in wave type are profound for geophysicists because everyone involved – from theoreticians to developers and users of microseismic data-processing software – must be aware of shear-wave splitting, singularities, and multivalued wavefronts, which have been largely irrelevant for P-waves propagating in relatively simple geologic settings. Anisotropy and Microseismics leads readers on a path of discovery of rarely examined wave phenomena and their possible usage. Most of the chapters begin by formulating a question, followed by explanations of what is exciting about it, where the mystery might lie, and what could be the potential value of answering the question. Importantly, the findings entail useful applications, as showcased by the unmistakably practical flavor of the chapters on microseismic event location, moment tensor inversion, and imaging. As an investigation of microseismic methodologies and techniques is conducted, it often yields unexpected results. CREDITS Original music by Zach Bridges.

Today we’re joined by Abeba Birhane, PhD Student at University College Dublin and author of the recent paper Algorithmic Injustices: Towards a Relational Ethics. We caught up with Abeba, whose aforementioned paper was the recipient of the Best Paper award at the most recent Black in AI Workshop at NeurIPS, to go in-depth on the paper and the thought process around AI ethics. In our conversation, we discuss the “harm of categorization”, and how the thinking around these categorizations should be discussed, how ML generally doesn’t account for the ethics of various scenarios and how relational ethics could solve this issue, her most recent paper “Robot Rights? Let’s Talk about Human Welfare Instead,” and much more. Check out our complete write-up and resource page at twimlai.com/talk/348. 

In this episode, we have our first guest from Canada who shares about pharmacist prescribing. Follow Dr. Arden Barry on Twitter for more content and check out this episode where he discusses: There is variable prescriptive authority for pharmacists across Canada: Like how pharmacy laws can differ from state-to-state, there is different legislation across the provinces in Canada for pharmacist prescribing. However, most provinces allow for some type of pharmacist prescribing. Only one province (Alberta) allows pharmacists to prescribe independently. There is currently an advocacy campaign by the Canadian Society of Hospital Pharmacists (which is similar to ASHP) British Columbia Branch aimed to allow pharmacists who practice in hospitals or other health care-related settings to prescribe. 2. Pharmacists should have the authority to prescribe: Pharmacists are the medication experts and already play a significant role in ensuring patients receive safe and optimal medication therapy. Pharmacists are capable of accepting the increased accountability and responsibility for prescribing in the delivery of patient-centered care. Pharmacists bring a unique perspective to prescribing given their knowledge of evidence-based medicine, safety, and drug interactions that is different than other health care professionals (e.g., nurse practitioners, physician assistants). Many pharmacists already prescribe in some form (e.g. over-the-counter medications). 3. Pharmacists in other parts of the world have the authority to prescribe: Pharmacists in the United Kingdom have had the ability to prescribe since 2006. Pharmacists who had completed a prescribing course in New Zealand were granted prescribing authority 2013. Work is being done in Australia to allow pharmacists to prescribe. 4. There is evidence that pharmacist prescribing improves patient outcomes: There is a growing body of evidence from Canada that shows that pharmacist prescribing benefits patients. Pharmacist prescribing has demonstrated improved glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, improved BP control in patients with hypertension, and lower LDL-C in patients with dyslipidemia. One Canadian study demonstrated that pharmacist-led care, as compared to nurse-led care, showed improved BP and cholesterol levels in patients with a previous stroke. A recent study called RxEACH that was published in JACC (2016;67:2846-54) showed lower overall cardiovascular risk (lower LDL-C, BP, and A1c as well as higher smoking cessation) in patients at risk of CVD with a community pharmacy-based intervention vs usual care. Another recent Canadian study showed that pharmacists were able to effectively and safely treat uncomplicated UTIs in a community pharmacy setting. This study won the Canadian Pharmacists Journal's Best Paper of the Year in 2018.

In this episode I'm joined by Amir Zamir, Postdoctoral researcher at both Stanford & UC Berkeley. Amir joins us fresh off of winning the 2018 CVPR Best Paper Award for co-authoring "Taskonomy: Disentangling Task Transfer Learning." In this work, Amir and his coauthors explore the relationships between different types of visual tasks and use this structure to better understand the types of transfer learning that will be most effective for each, resulting in what they call a “computational taxonomic map for task transfer learning.” In our conversation, we discuss the nature and consequences of the relationships that Amir and his team discovered, and how they can be used to build more effective visual systems with machine learning. Along the way Amir provides a ton of great examples and explains the various tools his team has created to illustrate these concepts.

Annie Pettit has a masters in data quality and online surveys. She was a certified organizational psychologist with the Ontario government. Annie then moved into the private sector doing research on the research of data quality and it's analytics, social media analytics and now is a freelance researcher advising companies on best research practices and research reports. The Market Researcher - Annie Pettit Annie Pettit will argue that the market researcher has not changed one iota. She defines a market researcher as one who strives to understand consumers and markets. There's nothing to do with a questionnaire, big data, neuroscience or technique; it's the end purpose. In that sense, in traditional research, we've normally used focus groups and questionnaires.  Just because researchers are not using these techniques does not mean they are not market researchers. We're all in this game together whether we call ourselves market researchers or we don't quite see ourselves as researchers. "I am a big fan of letter of the law over the actual law." Annie Pettit on the new GDPR guidelines As researchers, we already know the process of working with human data and can utilize the new technology at an advantage to do really great things with the new techniques. The New Data Sets Annie sees the biggest chunk of people willing to say they want to use the new data and try new stuff. But those same people are still clinging to tried and true, valid and reliable data. The actual application is much lower than what people say they want to do but gradually the new techniques are being used more. "It's sort of on the way to mind-reading...It would be amazing if this was a tool used with consent" - Annie Pettit on new MIT research Right now it appears to be mostly curiosity from the client side. They want to see what we can do with this stuff. Social Media Data Working in the social media industry, put Annie on the cutting edge of many things. Many of the conversations she had in the early days were how social media research is actually market research. She'd explain how it uses sampling and box scores how it's quantitative and even so far as privacy and ethics related to these types of data. For people in social media who hadn't considered sampling or privacy ramifications, all of these conversations were new. They were primarily focused on the technique and not on the people underlying the data.

Interactive Visualization Lab director Dr. Daniel Keefe has students who can draw in mid-air. And that's just one aspect of  his award-winning research work in virtual and augmented reality. Dr. Keefe, or Dan, as he prefers to be called, is an associate professor at the University of Minnesota.   He's also an artist, as well as a computer scientist.  And he's exploring what amounts to magic: human-computer interaction, scientific data visualization and computer graphics. In other words, he's putting AR and VR users into scenarios, to experience them firsthand. Working with a team that includes scientists, artists, engineers and designers, Dan's Interactive Visualization Lab is examining the ways AR and VR can solve problems and lead to new insights in multiple disciplines, including the arts.   Their goal: to make these technologies accessible to everyone. Real-world applications, multiple awards Among the questions Dan's research answers: what were the conditions facing orators in ancient Greece?   How can we look inside the human heart, to more effectively design medical devices?  And, how can mobile VR help manage chronic pain? Dan's recent honors, for his research work, have included the National Science Foundation CAREER Award, the University of Minnesota's Guillermo E. Borja Award for research and scholarly accomplishments and the University of Minnesota McKnight Land-Grant Professorship, according to his website.  In addition, he has garnered numerous "Best Paper" and "Best Panel"awards at multiple international conferences. Dan talked about his background, what VR can mean for users in the arts and offered an exploration of some of the virtual-reality environments at the Interactive Visualization Lab. On this edition of Over Coffee®, you'll hear: What led Dan to become both an artist, and a scientist; The landmark experience that first interested him in virtual reality; What an arts person might experience, during a first visit to the University of Minnesota's Interactive Visualization Lab; How one artist made the space his own while creating work in the virtual-reality cave; How anyone (not just Minnesota residents!) can use the programs the Interactive Visualization Lab has developed (hint: their software is open-source!); What the Interactive Visualization Lab is beginning to do in conjunction with K-12 educators (including a cool resource currently available through the U.S. Forest Service); Dan's prediction of the ways VR will appear in the life of the average person in the future; How artists are helping to develop this technology; How you can get involved, if you'd like to know more; Dan's recommendation for a future approach to developing computer science (hint: artists welcome!).

In this episode I speak with Tuomas Sandholm, Carnegie Mellon University Professor and Founder and CEO of startups Optimized Markets and Strategic Machine. Tuomas, along with his PhD student Noam Brown, won a 2017 NIPS Best Paper award for their paper “Safe and Nested Subgame Solving for Imperfect-Information Games.” Tuomas and I dig into the significance of the paper, including a breakdown of perfect vs imperfect information games, the role of abstractions in game solving, and how the concept of safety applies to gameplay. We discuss how all these elements and techniques are applied to poker, and how the algorithm described in this paper was used by Noam and Tuomas to create Libratus, the first AI to beat top human pros in No Limit Texas Hold’em, a particularly difficult game to beat due to its large state space. This was a fascinating interview that I'm really excited to share with you all. Enjoy!

On this episode of the Healthy Wealthy and Smart Podcast, Jo Gibson is featured to discuss physical therapy treatment of the unstable shoulder. Jo is a Clinical Physiotherapy Specialist working at the Liverpool Upper Limb Unit at the Royal Liverpool Hospital and a Consultant in private practice. She has worked as a Shoulder Specialist since 1995 and lectures nationally and internationally about assessment and rehabilitation of the shoulder complex. Jo has co-developed Masters modules with Liverpool University for the diagnosis and treatment of upper limb pathology and has co-authored national guidelines for the management of different shoulder pathologies. She has presented original research at many National and International conferences, published in peer-reviewed journals and written several book chapters. In addition she is an Associate Editor of the British Shoulder & Elbow Journal. In this episode, we discuss: -Using patient history to classify shoulder pathology -Factors to consider when deciding whether to treat with surgery or rehabilitation -The nervous system’s role in shoulder instability -How to use language and metaphors to develop buy-in -Jo’s takeaways from the British Elbow and Shoulder Society Conference -And so much more!   Jo prioritizes learning about a patient’s history during the initial evaluation because it can serve as a roadmap for treatment. Jo has found that, “The biggest investment of my time is hearing how everything started and what the story has been from there.” Jo believes patient history to be more valuable than other evaluation method as she states, “The history tells me far more than any clinical test.”   Symptom modification can be an important psychological tool to encourage more confidence in a patients shoulder capabilities. Jo stresses, “It is very empowering for the patient because it shows them that if we make their muscles work differently they are stable.”   Jo’s treatment protocol includes a variety of functional exercises which utilize external cues to promote motor learning and neuroplasticity. Jo believes there is room for physical therapists to get creative with these treatments and that sometimes, “We kind of undermine the artistry of what we do.”   Jo has found that improving her communication skills has led directly to improved physical therapy treatment outcomes. Jo reminds us that, “This is about being human. Communication underpins everything we do… Patients are just the biggest source of information and actually they give us all of the clues and give us the language to use.”   For more information on Jo: Jo Gibson Grad.Dip.Phys MSc.(Adv.Pract) MCSP.

In this podcast, Probation Journal editor Nicola Carr interviews Sarah Anderson, author of the 2016 Best Paper Prize winning article ‘The Value of Bearing Witness to Desistance’.

In this first Occupational and Environmental Medicine (OEM) podcast, we explore a study that “helped put European occupational disease statistics back on the map”. Malcolm Sim, OEM Editor-in-Chief, interviews Jill Stocks, the corresponding author of the EPICOH 2015 Best Paper winner, “Trends in incidence of occupational asthma, contact dermatitis, noise-induced hearing loss, carpal tunnel syndrome and upper limb musculoskeletal disorders in European countries from 2000 to 2012”. According to Dr Stocks, a Research Fellow of the Centre for Occupational and Environmental Health, University of Manchester, UK, the main success of this research was “sharing data in a very open manner” between ten countries. The study also reinforces the idea that routinely collected data can be used, despite the fact that harmonised and consistent data must remain the ultimate goal. The paper was published in the OEM April 2015 issue and is available online for free here: oem.bmj.com/content/72/4/294.long.
