In this week's Legal Speak episode, McDermott Will & Emery chair Ira Coleman explains "Big Law Better", his idea on where the legal sector is moving and what elements of previous iterations the industry should be looking to maintain and which it should perhaps relegate to times gone by.

If you've been scratching your head about what on earth is going on with the Build Back Better bill, this episode is going to be your bread and butter of reference points. We go IN on the bill with Brian Derrick, Political Strategist & Founder of Oath to get a grasp on what's included in the bill, what's not, and what the process looks like for potentially passing it. Naturally, since we love abbreviations, we also get into the confusion around BBB versus the BIF, and even define what the CBO does. And, if that also has you scratching your head, do not worry, just head to wherever you get your pods and listen in and learn what all of those fun bits and pieces are. Best yet, this episode contains tons and bunches of q's from the audience. Shoutout to all that submitted those bad boys. As per usual, if you have a q or a topic you'd like to learn more about in politics, slide into our DMs.Limited Edition Merch (only avail. through Nov. 17): https://www.bonfire.com/store/girlandthegov/ Citizen Power with Nathalia Ramos & Ben Sheehanhttps://www.onecommune.com/a/2147492814/nBoX9mJoPrima:https://www.prima.co/ Use code GIRLGOV for 20% offhttp://chng.it/8CNwdhLT79 Prima PetitionBrand Ambassador Sign Up Form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSelH0p5KWISaHaBI5-9nKSUItlY_eXiEmvsudpJIcRjKhfgyA/viewformBrand Ambassador Info Sheet:https://drive.google.com/file/d/11WAWLwc9dShbSVxPMcUzc1d5Ua8KNdO2/view

Debate

In Episode 12 Joanna interviews Zak Soliman.  Zack is an artificial intelligence researcher at the University of Montreal specializing in natural language processing. His current research interests are unsupervised document clustering, sentiment analysis, and information extraction from text documents.   Joanna learns it’s hard to ask questions that front end users will understand! We learn about  Zak as a student, what he had to teach himself in order to become a successful student, the processes he uses when learning and studying and what exactly Natural Language Processing does.   Joanna’s favourite quote from the interview “It seems complicated to understand which got me interested.”   Zak has shared loads of resources to supplement the conversation:   The Feynman technique: http://calnewport.com/blog/2015/11/25/the-feynman-notebook-method/   The pomodoro technique: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomodoro_Technique   Cal Newport's "Study Hacks" Blog: http://calnewport.com/blog/   Better Explained, a blog that explains various mathematical concepts in a very intuitive way.

This episode is another special one on equations that changed the world.  Einstein’s Theory of Special Relativity is widely known as the world’s most famous equation created by history’s most famous scientist.  In simple terms the equation reads - E = MC² which states that Energy = Mass x Speed of Light² This theory predicts the equivalence of mass and energy and a space-time continuum, which fundamentally changed our understanding of the universe and how it works.  In practical terms, Einstein’s theory ultimately led to the creation of nuclear energy sources – a defining moment in the history of humanity similar to the discovery of fire, because it allowed us to have far greater energy yields than we’d ever had before by splitting the atom… Today’s guest, Kalid Azad, is the founder of Better Explained, one of the world's most popular maths websites that makes hard concepts easy to understand. After studying Computer Science at Princeton, Kalid spent a few years at Microsoft as a program manager, founded a Y Combinator startup, and currently works as a developer. Kalid uses an intuition first approach to explain difficult ideas in a way that anyone can understand and this makes him the perfect guide for this episode. In this episode we discuss: - Einstein’s backstory and how it influenced his work - The mechanics of the equation in a way that you can understand - The implications of the equation for our view of the Universe So whether you’re looking to find out more about Einstein, dive deeper into the equation and its importance, or explore maths and physics in a way that’s fun and accessible, this episode has you covered. 

This episode is a special one on equations that changed the world.  And what better one to start with than Isaac Newton’s Universal Law of Gravity – an equation that ultimately helped us put a man on the moon! In simple terms the equation reads: Earth’s Gravitational Force = (G x M x m) / D squared  Earth’s Force = (Gravitational Constant x Earth’s Mass x Mass of the Object) /  Distance between the Earth and Object Squared What this equation allowed the smart scientists at NASA to do was to to establish with accuracy where exactly the moon was, which was no mean feat in itself.  And by calculating the rate at which gravity diminished on the way to the moon, they determined what size rocket they’d need and the best route to get there.

For many people, maths is the subject they used to hate most in school and they carry this fear of numbers into later life. But it doesn't have to be that way - and understanding basic mathematical principles can be both fun and useful. Kalid uses an intuition first approach to explain difficult ideas in a way that anyone can understand and this makes him a great person to talk to about any subject or skill including his current profession of computer programming. In this conversation we discuss a range of topics including: - How to get better at maths and why some people find it so hard - The secrets behind great explanations of tricky concepts - How Kalid has learned skills from coding to snowboarding and weight training So whether you're looking to get better with numbers, learn to code or pick up physical skills, this episode will give you the actionable principles and techniques needed to succeed.
