Podcast appearances and mentions of Michael Keenan

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Introducing AI Lab Watch, published by Zach Stein-Perlman on April 30, 2024 on LessWrong. I'm launching AI Lab Watch. I collected actions for frontier AI labs to improve AI safety, then evaluated some frontier labs accordingly. It's a collection of information on what labs should do and what labs are doing. It also has some adjacent resources, including a list of other safety-ish scorecard-ish stuff. (It's much better on desktop than mobile - don't read it on mobile.) It's in beta leave feedback here or comment or DM me - but I basically endorse the content and you're welcome to share and discuss it publicly. It's unincorporated, unfunded, not affiliated with any orgs/people, and is just me. Some clarifications and disclaimers. How you can help: Give feedback on how this project is helpful or how it could be different to be much more helpful Tell me what's wrong/missing; point me to sources on what labs should do or what they are doing Suggest better evaluation criteria Share this Help me find an institutional home for the project Offer expertise on a relevant topic Offer to collaborate (Pitch me on new projects or offer me a job) (Want to help and aren't sure how to? Get in touch!) I think this project is the best existing resource for several kinds of questions, but I think it could be a lot better. I'm hoping to receive advice (and ideally collaboration) on taking it in a more specific direction. Also interested in finding an institutional home. Regardless, I plan to keep it up to date. Again, I'm interested in help but not sure what help I need. I could expand the project (more categories, more criteria per category, more labs); I currently expect that it's more important to improve presentation stuff but I don't know how to do that; feedback will determine what I prioritize. It will also determine whether I continue spending most of my time on this or mostly drop it. I just made a twitter account. I might use it to comment on stuff labs do. Thanks to many friends for advice and encouragement. Thanks to Michael Keenan for doing most of the webdev. These people don't necessarily endorse this project. Thanks for listening.

BOOK LAUNCH Food Systems Transformation in Kenya: Lessons from the Past and Policy Options for the Future Co-organized by IFPRI, International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI), Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock Development (MoALD), and CGIAR Initiative on National Policies and Strategies (NPS) JAN 8, 2024 - 4:30 TO 5:45PM EAT Food systems transformation offers a promising avenue to achieve the goals Kenya has set out in the Bottom-Up Economic Agenda (BETA). The new book Food Systems Transformation in Kenya: Lessons from the Past and Policy Options for the Future, edited by Clemens Breisinger, Michael Keenan, Jemimah Njuki, and Juneweenex Mbuthia, takes a critical look at Kenya's whole food system, including food supply chains, the food environment, consumer behavior, external drivers, and development outcomes and considers the system's history and experiences from other countries. With chapters authored by Kenyan and international experts, this collaborative work presents both a bird's-eye view of the Kenyan food system and in-depth analyses of its components. Rigorous economic research provides unique insights into both broad policy themes and specific actions that can position Kenya as a global leader in tackling the challenges of food-system-led transformation. Join us for this hybrid book launch at the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) Nairobi campus and online. Speakers from academia, Kenyan research institutes, policy institutions, and CGIAR will discuss the recommendations. A light reception will follow the presentations. For in person attendance, please contact Ann Mureithi (a.mureithi@cgiar.org).

The Freedom Convoy had to be dismantled not as a safety risk but a public symbol of the “spiritual source of the protest movement,” said Michael Keenan, deputy transport minister. His remarks in a Feb. 6th teleconference with police contradicted cabinet claims the Wellington Street blockade was a danger to the public. Keenan agreed while the sit-in was not a public safety risk it made a poor image. Tom Korski, Managing Editor of Blacklock's Reporter, joined us and said using the Emergencies Act was never about there actually being an emergency, but all politics.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Social scientists interested in AI safety should consider doing direct technical AI safety research, (meta-research if they've got a clear, decently-visionary path to impact), or moving into governance, other support roles (e.g. ops), or AI safety community building instead, published by Vael Gates on July 20, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Hello! This post (thesis in the title) is a bit of a hot take of mine, so I'm happy to hear pushbacks and for it to be wrong. It's also written in a casual style, so that I will ever publish it. What follows are some reflections I had after trying for several years to answer: “What should social scientists who are primarily interested in reducing risks from AI be doing, specifically?” My main takeaways are the headings / on the sidebar, so to skim just read those. Note: This post is specifically aimed at social science-type EAs (and also neuroscientists) who are most interested in contributing to AI safety, which is meant as a statement of interests (people who like social science) and goals (contributing to AI safety). It's not meant to apply outside of the set of people who self-identify into this cluster. I wrote the post because I happen to fall into this cluster (PhD in computational cognitive science, interested in AI safety) and have a lot of latent thoughts about career exploration within it. In particular, EAs with social science BAs will sometimes ask me what options I think they should pursue, and I'd like to pass them this doc about how I'm currently thinking about the space. Some final notes: if you're not interested in dedicating your career to AI safety, I salute you and you are not the target of this post! All opinions are my own and I expect people in the community to disagree with me. Many thanks to comments from Abby Novick Hoskin, Aaron Scher, TJ, Nora Ammann, Noemi Dreksler, Linch Zhang, Lucius Caviola, Joshua Lewis, Peter Slattery, and Michael Keenan for making this post better; thank you for raising disagreements and agreements! (1) “AI Safety Needs Social Scientists” → I think more specifically, this article was describing a new paradigm that means that AI safety has a limited number of roles (0-2 per year?) open for people who are approximately top computational / quantitative PhD-level cognitive(/neuro) scientists. This is great, but people often take this article to mean something broader than that based on the title, and I think that's a misleading interpretation. In 2019, Geoffrey Irving and Amanda Askell (then at OpenAI) published an article called “AI Safety Needs Social Scientists”. This was great, and the purpose to my eye seemed to be introducing a new paradigm in AI safety that would require hiring for a new role. Specifically, it seemed they were looking to hire approximately PhD-level researchers who'd done a lot of experiments with humans in the past, who could collaborate with machine learning (ML) researchers to help run integrated human / AI experiments. Note, however, that that's a pretty specific ask: “social science” includes fields like anthropology, sociology, psychology, political science, linguistics, and economics. If I were advertising this position, I'd be looking for “computational / quantitative PhD-level cognitive(/neuro) scientists”, which are academic labels that imply: a researcher who does empirical human experiments, who knows how to program and regularly does data analysis in e.g. Python, who is likely to be familiar with ML paradigms and used to being an interdisciplinary researcher who occasionally publishes in computer science (CS) journals. I happen to be one of those! I'm a computational cognitive scientist who did very large-scale human experiments by academia's lights– I had thousands of people in one of my experiments. I did my PhD with one of the world's t...

Michael Keenan went through treatment several times before looking inward & making long-term changes. He has been clean for 14 years and is the owner/executive director of the Access Foundation & High Desert Counseling. He shares how that journey started for him & his views/opinions of why some people relapse after treatment. He shares how he did a lot of research into what was missing in the recovery process & started setting up sober living houses where individuals could transition back into life with a higher success rate. Michael shares his outlook on relapse & the best way from a treater standpoint to handle it. This episode has a lot of great content about real-world recovery concepts. 

For our latest Dementia together podcast we spoke to Michael Keenan, who is 62, lives in Omagh in Northern Ireland, and has young-onset Alzheimer's. We chatted to Michael twice – in mid-2021 and early 2022 – to find out more about his life and the challenges he's been facing during the pandemic. Despite enduring a difficult time, Michael believes that better days aren't too far away and can't wait to get back involved. Your donations play a vital role in ensuring people affected by dementia are aware of the services offered by Alzheimer's Society, especially in what is a difficult time for everyone.

Michael Keenan is PhD Candidate at Wageningen University and Research. His dissertation focuses on understanding how risk and market access affect smallholder farmers' marketing and investment decisions, agricultural households' livelihoods, and internal conflict within agricultural-based economies. His research combines behavioural, theoretical, and empirical analysis at the intra-household level, household-level, and macroeconomic level to understand these relationships. He is passionate about applying quantitative methods and big data to a range of economic development issues. His research is now expanding into understanding gender gaps in smallholder agriculture, urban migration patterns in Sub-Saharan Africa, and the effects of digital innovations on rural areas' food systems. He has been based in Nairobi, Kenya for the past three years and has experience conducting research in Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda, and Tanzania. I enjoy travelling, reading, and spending time with friends and family.In this episode, He talks about highs and hobbiesThe Vulnerable Scientist is a Kenyan-based podcast that focuses on scientists' stories about their daily lives, work, and how they got to where they are. I am your host Sarah Nyakeri, a scientist, informal science communicator and a hiker. I am a multidisciplinary individual that does digital marketing and website design during my free time.The main questions asked that scientists are expected to answer vulnerable are: How are you, Introduce yourself, how did you become a scientist, What are the highs and lows you have experienced in your science career, tell the listeners about your hobbies, what question would you like to answer that has not been asked and how do you feel after having this conversation.Why did I start this podcast? You might ask. When doing my MSc project, my experiments started to fail at a certain period and it was very frustrating. I thought, If I finally get a new vaccine target for CBPP in cows, it would be all smiles but no one will ever know what I went through. I also wondered how many scientists were going through the same rough patch but did not openly talk about it?I enjoy asking questions since I am a naturally curious person. Feedback from the audience, including scientists and non-scientists, is the main motivation I message scientists or accept their request to be on the podcast, schedule an interview, edit audio, design the artwork, post it, and share it on social media platforms. It is a full-time job that requires me to spend from my pocket with no monetary returns, but I enjoy it.If you want to be Vulnerable on the show, send me an audio message either on speak pipe (https://www.speakpipe.com/VulnerableScientistVoicemail ) or anchor (https://anchor.fm/thevulnerablescientist/message).

1:18 What are the parameters for a student-athlete to return to play? 2:00 Return to play protocol is a graded 6-phase progression for return to exercise necessary before returning to competition 2:38 “Asymptomatic at school, they have to clear that before we can even talk anything field related.” 3:00 Athletes typically don't usually start going to physical therapy with Mike Keenan until phases 2 and 3 of the Return to Play protocol. The phases of the Return-to-Play protocol for concussions. Asymptomatic at school Asymptomatic with light aerobic activity Asymptomatic with moderate aerobic activity Asymptomatic with non-contact heavy field activity Asymptomatic with practice & full contact Asymptomatic at competition 3:46 There is always a conversation between the physical therapist and the sports medicine physician so that a student can be cleared to continue in the return to play progression. 5:00 How Dr.Eck approaches the Return-to-play protocol with the physical therapist, the athletic trainer, and the parents. “What I want parents or athletes to do is, if they're doing better before our second evaluation, call me. There's no reason to delay it, just because of the schedule. 5:50 “I can't emphasize enough how important it is for physical therapists to communicate with and offer our observations to the physician or sports medicine doctor, knowing we don't call the shots”- Mike Quintans 7:45 The importance of the athletic trainer in later phases. 8:05 The role the athletic trainer plays as the student returns. 9:15 What a follow-up evaluation looks like with Dr. Eck. 9:50 Does the sport a student plays change Dr.Eck's evaluation? 13:00 Dr. Eck sites a study from March 2021, “Musculoskeletal Injuries And The Association With Previous Concussion History: A Prospective Study of High School Volleyball and Soccer Players” that found that if a student had a concussion in the last twelve months, they are 87% more likely to have an acute noncontact lower extremity injury. 16:00 Q urges better holistic testing to mitigate the overall risk of injury “This comes down to a holistic approach to return to play. Are we clearing a concussion to return to play, or are we clearing a student-athlete to return to play?” - Q Lighting Round 21:20 What are we doing right in regards to concussions? 23:00 What could we be doing better in sports medicine regarding concussions? 24:00 What is your biggest takeaway from recent research in concussion management? 25:00 How do we mitigate the risks and severity of concussions? 29:45 What needs to happen for us to reduce the risk of concussions overall? 32:35 Their take on the 70-30 breakdown. 34:50 “It's very rare that I see an individual and they're not going to get some sort of referral.” 34:50 “It's very rare that I see an individual and they're not going to get some sort of referral.” 36:50 Often times concussions will lead physicians to uncover underlying conditions that have gone unrecognized, especially in teenagers. 37:40 How many visits does a PT usually see the average concussion for? 38:40 “The faster you get in [to PT], the faster you get better.” CONTACT Dr. Brandon Eck Orthopedic Associates of Lancaster.

Today, we will be discussing everything concussions with two of the best in the business: Vestibular certified Physical Therapist and Athletic Trainer - Mike Keenan as well as Dr. Brandon Eck. Mike was on the podcast before to discuss concussions as was Dr. Eck in which we discussed his experience and roles in sports medicine specifically endurance athletes and the services he provides. Dr. Brandon Eck Dr. Brandon Eck is a sports medicine physician that earned his undergraduate degree at Villanova University where he ran track and field for the Wildcats. He then earned his medical degree at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine. He completed his residency in family medicine. He also completed a sports medicine fellowship in Blacksburg, VA in which he served as a team physician to Virginia Tech and Radford University. Dr. Eck has extensive experience in treating athletes of many disciplines and is dedicated to the treatment of both athletes and non-athletes with orthopedic injuries, including sports injuries, overuse injuries, fracture care and concussions. He is the Team Physician for U.S. Ski and Snowboard Michael Keenan Michael Keenan is a dual credentialed Physical Therapist and Athletic Trainer, Mike has been working in Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation since 2008. During this time, Mike has worked with patients of all ages and physical abilities from pediatrics to professional sports while with the Pittsburgh Pirates Baseball Organization. He specializes in vestibular and concussion-based treatment. I have had the pleasure of working with Mike Keenan over the past several years. I can say with the utmost confidence that he is the best I've seen at treating concussions – whether the patient was in an automobile accident, work-related accident, or as a result of an athletic trauma or injury. 3:30: What is a concussion? 4:40 What is the difference between a traumatic brain injury (TBI) and a concussion? 5:15 what the most important thing Dr. Eck and Keenan have learned about concussions since their fellowships and training. 6:00 Keenan is in the unique position of seeing concussions at the beginning and the end. 7:35 How are concussions diagnosed and how have these practices evolved? 9:30 What does the Sideline concussion assessment tool - SCAT 5 test consist of? 16:00 What does concussion diagnosis look like in the clinical setting after the initial evaluation on the field? 19:45 How does a physician dictate what the appropriate next steps are? 23:00 If something like the Impact test is available from the school or sports team is available it will be taken into consideration. 24:30 Getting a psychological evaluation and treatment is especially important for student-athletes to determine care protocol and school accommodations. 26:00 The importance of having a good rapport between the physician, the physical therapist, and the patient. 28:35 How often are clinicians seeing a patient within a week of the initial injury? 30:30 Dr.Eck shares a study from the Journal of Neurosurgery in Pediatrics about the association of time to clinic visit with prolonged recovery in Pediatric patients with concussions. 33:30 Average Symptom Severity and Related Predictors of Prolonged Recovery in Pediatric Patients with a concussion (2020) found that symptom severity along with delayed evaluation related to prediction of prolonged recovery. 39:30 What is symptom grading and how does Keenan use as a flag system with patients? 40:20 Dispelling the old myth that someone with a concussion should be told to rest completely. Stay tuned for Part 2 next Tuesday

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Doing your good deed for the day, published by Scott Alexander on the LessWrong. Interesting new study out on moral behavior. The one sentence summary of the most interesting part is that people who did one good deed were less likely to do another good deed in the near future. They had, quite literally, done their good deed for the day. In the first part of the study, they showed that people exposed to environmentally friendly, "green" products were more likely to behave nicely. Subjects were asked to rate products in an online store; unbeknownst to them, half were in a condition where the products were environmentally friendly, and the other half in a condition where the products were not. Then they played a Dictator Game. Subjects who had seen environmentally friendly products shared more of their money. In the second part, instead of just rating the products, they were told to select $25 worth of products to buy from the store. One in twenty five subjects would actually receive the products they'd purchased. Then they, too, played the Dictator Game. Subjects who had bought environmentally friendly products shared less of their money. In the third part, subjects bought products as before. Then, they participated in a "separate, completely unrelated" experiment "on perception" in which they earned money by identifying dot patterns. The experiment was designed such that participants could lie about their perceptions to earn more. People who purchased the green products were more likely to do so. This does not prove that environmentalists are actually bad people - remember that whether a subject purchased green products or normal products was completely randomized. It does suggest that people who have done one nice thing feel less of an obligation to do another. This meshes nicely with a self-signalling conception of morality. If part of the point of behaving morally is to convince yourself that you're a good person, then once you're convinced, behaving morally loses a lot of its value. By coincidence, a few days after reading this study, I found this article by Dr. Beck, a theologian, complaining about the behavior of churchgoers on Sunday afternoon lunches. He says that in his circles, it's well known that people having lunch after church tend to abuse the waitstaff and tip poorly. And he blames the same mechanism identified by Mazar and Zhong in their Dictator Game. He says that, having proven to their own satisfaction that they are godly and holy people, doing something else godly and holy like being nice to others would be overkill. It sounds...strangely plausible. If this is true, then anything that makes people feel moral without actually doing good is no longer a harmless distraction. All those biases that lead people to give time and money and thought to causes that don't really merit them waste not only time and money, but an exhaustible supply of moral fiber (compare to Baumeister's idea of willpower as a limited resource). People here probably don't have to worry about church. But some of the other activities Dr. Beck mentions as morality sinkholes seem appropriate, with a few of the words changed: Bible study Voting Republican Going on spiritual retreats Reading religious books Arguing with evolutionists Sending your child to a Christian school or providing education at home Using religious language Avoiding R-rated movies Not reading Harry Potter. Let's not get too carried away with the evils of spiritual behavior - after all, data do show that religious people still give more to non-religious charities than the nonreligious do. But the points in and of themselves are valid. I've seen Michael Keenan and Patri Friedman say exactly the same thing regarding voting, and I would add to the less religion-o-centric list: Joining "1000000 STRONG AGAINST WORLD HU...

In life, there is much which seems uncertain to us. Concerning death however, there can be no doubt. It was an honour to speak with funeral director, death-care practitioner and proud Sligo native David McGowan on the topic of death for episode 33 of Blúiríní Béaloidis. Sit with us as we explore attitudes and customs regarding death and dying, from the practicalities and preparations of the corpse, to the wake house and beliefs regarding the departure of the soul. The episode features a good deal of archival audio from NFC collections, details of which can be found below. I'd like to thank David for being so generous with his time and knowledge, and send special thanks likewise to Síle Denver and the group Líadan, for permission to include their beautiful rendition of Amhrán Mhuínse to close the episode - baochas ó chroí libh uiléir.

This time he discovered a winning formula and before long had a multi-six-figure company. He then made a huge mistake which nearly put him out of business and cost him £50,000 in personal cash! Fortunately, Nick kept it afloat, turned it around, and sold that business 2 years later in a seven-figure deal.  He then co-founded a multi-million-pound marketing company, which he exited in 2015, and created Expert Empires.

Western Australia-based William Bowe, who runs The Poll Bludger website, says “there is a feeling that there is a Labor resurgence in the state”. Bowe told The Conversation a “floundering” state economy after the mining boom downturn, with falling house prices and rising unemployment, has created a sense that “prosperity has been lost. And that sense of downward mobility is very dangerous for the government”. “Because Western Australians are not feeling as prosperous, they are more receptive to a Labor message,” he said. On the Liberal seats in play, Bowe says Swan is the most vulnerable, followed by Hasluck. But Labor also has its eyes on the possible prizes of Pearce (held by Attorney-general Christian Porter) and Stirling (vacated by minister Michael Keenan). “There was a poll out a week ago that showed that it [Pearce] was line-ball. […] It’s certainly not the case that Christian Porter is gone for all money, but he has a fight on his hands and that’s not something that the Liberals are accustomed to in that electorate.” On the other side, the Liberals are targeting Anne Aly’s ultra-marginal seat of Cowan. “[The Liberals] have got a leader who I think goes down better in an electorate like Cowan,” Bowe said. But he’d be “very surprised” if the seat were in danger.

On 27 October, the Lowy Institute hosted a lecture by The Hon Michael Keenan MP, Minister for Justice and Minister Assisting the Prime Minister for Counter-Terrorism on the evolving terrorist threat to Australia. Mr Keenan’s role within the government is to lead the Commonwealth’s efforts to counter violent extremism and to ensure effective and integrated implementation of Australia’s counterterrorism strategy. He is the primary contact for the Prime Minister for both day-to-day counterterrorism matters and in a terrorism crisis. The Hon Michael Keenan MP was elected to the House of Representatives in 2004, and was appointed Minister Assisting the Prime Minister on Counter-Terrorism in May 2015. He has served as Minister for Justice since September 2013. He has a BA from Murdoch University and Charles University, Prague, a BA (Hons) from the Australian National University and a MPhil from Cambridge University.

The Hon Michael Keenan MP, the Minister for Justice and the Minister Assisting the Prime Minister on Counter-Terrorism, addressed the Lowy Institute on 24 July 2015 to discuss Australia’s counter-terrorism strategy.
