Podcast appearances and mentions of Julian Huppert

On 17 January 2022, I discussed my new book, ‘What's the Worst That Could Happen? Existential Risk and Extreme Politics' with Julian Huppert at a Cambridge University event, jointly hosted by Jesus College and the Cambridge Centre for the Study of Existential Risk.

Students want things easy. We often make it hard for them. Host Kevin Patton discusses desirable difficulty and contrasts it with undesirable difficulty. Did you know that healthy human cells have little sections of 4-stranded DNA? We can be better in our web meeting skills.

But there are undesirable difficulties that do not help learning. Why must learning be difficult? How can we avoid undesirable difficulty? Hey, wait!

No fake news. No thoughtless re-shares. Just plain old connection with others who do what you do! Privacy. The A&P Professor community has the connectivity of Facebook and Twitter, but the security of a private membership site. None of your information can be shared outside the community, so you can share what you like without it being re-shared to the world. Like your dean, for instance. In our community, you can share your frustrations freely. And find support. No algorithms. You get to choose what you want to see. You curate your own feed, selecting only those topics that interest you. Join subgroups that resonate with who you are—or who you want to be. Access to mentors and like-minded peers. Our community is made up of all kinds of people from all over the world, each with different perspectives and experiences of teaching A&P. Find members near you—or far away. Connect with members online at that moment. Courses, groups, and live events. As the community grows, we'll add mini-courses and micro-courses—some with earned micro-credentials, live virtual office hours with me and other mentors or guests, private special-interest groups, and more.

During the first days of lockdown, there was a lot of utopian talk about clear skies, quiet streets and birdsong. There seemed to be a widespread consensus that the COVID crisis had taught us some unflattering things about the way we've been operating. But how can real change be brought about?

The Frankenstein story is an example of science overstepping the mark. Some people fear that organ transplantation is just such a step too far. But there are alternative transplant narratives: giving up a kidney to save the life of a loved one could be construed as the ultimate act of altruism. Following the change of the law in England to presumed consent for organ use after death, Julian Huppert and Gurch Randhawa join Ed Kessler to discuss organ donation... Like this podcast?

Genetic experimentation predates our real understanding of genetics by centuries. But recent developments in our understanding of the science of genetics have profound implications for our self- understanding and self-determining, medically, ethically and legally.

It's a common assumption that when uncertainty creeps into scientific enquiry or religious faith it is a sign of failure. In fact, the experience of uncertainty is central to both science and religious faith, as Ed Kessler discovers with Ilaria Bernocchi, Julian Huppert and Julian Hargreaves... Like this podcast?

On refugees. The world is in the midst of a refugee crisis. Over six million refugees have escaped Syria alone since the conflict began there - but only around 11,500 have resettled in the UK. In this episode of Encounter we hear from Bayan about his own difficult journey from Syria to the UK. We ask how this crisis compares to those the world has seen before, and how someone copes when their host country has a different majority religion to their own. Featuring Ed Kessler, Bayan Almasri, Julian Huppert, and Esther-Miriam Wagner.

On education. Join Ed Kessler and guests Julian Huppert, Azadeh Moaveni and Austin Tiffany as they discuss and debate religion and education in the UK. Are faith schools good for society as a whole or do they breed division? Should faith schools receive taxpayers’ money? What part do faith schools play in the lives of the non-religious?

This episode features Julian Huppert, former Liberal Democrat MP for Cambridge, and now Director of the Intellectual Forum at Jesus College Cambridge. We chat about Julian's journey from academia to the House of Commons where he was recognised as the only scientist, a moniker that Julian was keen to not let define and confine his policy goals. We wanted to get his insight into the general state of scientific understanding in parliament, and how scientists can better engage politicians with topics that matter to them. It's an unfortunate stereotype that scientists often hold politics at arm's length, there may not be a need for all scientists to be politically activated but involvement in the political process can as Julian notes be pretty easy behaviours to foster. We were also eager to dive into his new(ish) role as Director of the Intellectual Forum, an organisation that has critical thinking and open discussion at its core, covering an impressive breadth of topics which can essentially be boiled down to anything 'interesting and worthwhile'.

Discussants: John Naughton, David Vincent, Julian Huppert, Nora Ni Loideain Chair: Daniel Wilson On 16 November 2016, both Houses of Parliament completed their examination and review of the Investigatory Powers Bill and it will become law before the end of 2016. When it was first published in draft form a year ago, the then Home Secretary, Theresa May, promised that the Bill would establish a “world-leading oversight regime” with “powers fit for the digital age” that would be “clear and understandable”. Nevertheless, the Bill has since been the subject of considerable controversy. Advocates, including, Professor Sir David Omand (a former Director of GCHQ ), stress that the importance of the new statute cannot be overestimated as it puts the secret surveillance activities of the State “under the rule of law” for the first time in 500 years and makes such powers “comprehensible to the citizen”. Critics, however, argue that the new law provides the State with unprecedented powers that are “more suited to a dictatorship than a democracy” (Jim Killock, Executive Director, Open Rights Group). Civil society organisations have described the law as a “Snooper’s Charter”. Of particular concern is the scope of powers provided under the law which will enable public authorities “to indiscriminately hack, intercept, record, and monitor the communications and internet use of the entire population” (Bella Sankey, Policy Director, Liberty). In its final event of the Technology and Democracy Project’s 2016 seminar series, an interdisciplinary panel of speakers will address the political, historical, technological and human rights implications posed by this divisive new legislative framework. Please join us for a discussion of what kind of precedent this significant new law represents for technology and democracy both within and beyond the UK.

Episode 7 of Stop and Search! So what do you think... are drugs a political issue? Does it matter if you're on the left or right of the political spectrum? Joining us to give some insight - and to take a pin to the Westminster bubble - we have: - Ian Birrell, journalist for publications such as the Daily Mail and iNews, former deputy editor for the Independent, and speech writer for David Cameron during the 2010 election campaign. - Dr Julian Huppert, Lib Dem MP for Cambridge (2010-2015) and was the most senior scientist among his peers in the House of Commons. - Ian Dunt, journalist, broadcaster, editor of Politics.co.uk. Does your opinion of drugs correspond to your political persuasion? What can we do to bring about awareness to the demographics that are hard to reach? What really goes on behind closed doors within the Houses of Parliament? We really do have a very interesting chat on a great many issues. This podcast is particularly revealing...

Full recording of Julian Huppert MP speaking to a meeting in Reading organised by Dr Jenny Woods.

Leading the lecture on 19 November, Dr Harris gave his perspective, from more than 10 years in parliament, on the key challenges that lie ahead in respect of science policy, evidence-based policy making and government spending priorities. Dr Huppert gave his own perspective and discussed how he hoped the government would meet these challenges.
