As the world continues to be engulfed in metaphorical and literal flames, today's newsletter focuses on something that is potentially a little more unearthly.Unidentified flying objects, or unidentified anomalous phenomena (try saying that three times very quickly), are a gateway into a topic that has for decades been characterised by grainy footage and tinfoil hats. That is changing.A little known website called the Debrief reported that a former intelligence official named David Grusch said that the US government has possession of “intact and partially intact” alien vehicles. Unlike previous whistleblowers who have been dismissed as unhinged or conspiracy theorists, Grusch has impressive credentials: he was a veteran of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency and the National Reconnaissance Office and led analysis on unidentified anomalous phenomena (the official term for UFOs). His claims were also supported by Jonathan Grey, a current US intelligence official at the National Air and Space Intelligence Center, who confirmed the existence of “exotic materials” to the Debrief.At first, the revelations seemed pretty extraordinary. But in the week after the initial report, Grusch offered up more interviews in which he continued to make astonishing claims with no evidence, beyond that this information had come from “several sources”. Even though many are skeptical, the US congress is interested in hearing what Grusch has to say.For today's newsletter, I spoke to Greg Eghigian, a historian at Penn State University, who is writing a book on the history of UFO culture, to sort fact from science fiction.

States are increasingly turning to artificial intelligence systems to enhance their national security decision-making. The real risks that states will deploy unlawful or unreliable national security AI make international regulations seem appealing, but what's the right model for them?Ashley Deeks is the Class of 1948 Professor of Scholarly Research in Law at the University of Virginia Law School. She's just published a paper for Laware's ongoing Digital Social Contract research paper series, in which she argues that, instead of looking to nuclear arms control as the model for national security AI regulation, states should look to how cyber operations are regulated. Lawfare Senior Editor Alan Rozenshtein spoke with Ashley about her research and what a successful regulatory regime for national security AI would look like.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lawfare.

As more and more families realize how valuable academic research is as a college admissions strategy, they come to us to learn how to get started.But professors are busy, and most high school students don't have the skills or understanding to be able to contribute right away. This means that there are a limited number of professors who are willing to add a high school student to the team. But because it is difficult for many to find these research opportunities does not mean that they are not available. Duke Professor Dr. Robert Malkin joins me today to introduce scholarly research as a high school student. Listen in to learn:* what academic research is* why you might want to consider doing academic research* why it is so impressive to selective admissions teams* how to get started* how to be successful in a research lab* and moreTo contact Dr. Malkin: His Lab: dhtlab.pratt.duke.eduCompany website (IRI): www.iri-nc.orgPersonal email: Robert.malkin@duke.edu-----To register for the Ivy League Challenge, visit our website.To follow on Instagram: @TheIvyLeagueChallengeTo join us on our Facebook group for parents:Or schedule a meeting with Steve here

Human trafficking is the illegal exploitation of a person – modern slavery. Anyone can be a victim of human trafficking, and it can occur in any U.S. community—cities, suburbs, and even rural areas. Traffickers use violence, manipulation, or false promises of well-paying jobs or romantic relationships to exploit victims. Victims are forced to work as prostitutes or to take jobs as migrant, domestic, restaurant, or factory workers with little or no pay. Human trafficking is a heinous crime that exploits the most vulnerable in society. Under the human trafficking program, the FBI investigates:Sex trafficking: When individuals are compelled by force, fraud, or coercion to engage in commercial sex acts. Sex trafficking of a minor occurs when the victim is under the age of 18. For cases involving minors, it is not necessary to prove force, fraud, or coercion.Labor trafficking: When individuals are compelled by force, threats, or fraud to perform labor or service.Domestic servitude: When individuals within a household appear to be nannies, housekeepers, or other types of domestic workers, but they are being controlled and exploited.For more information: https://www.fbi.gov/investigate/violent-crime/human-traffickingPodcast Episode #53: Are We Training Graduate Students to Be Unhappy? https://www.buzzsprout.com/1547113/9484429Learn more about the Happy Doc Student at: https://expandyourhappy.comGet the Happy Doc Student Handbook here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0578333732

Today’s program is really special, because my guest is Brigitte Madrian. Brigitte is the Aetna Professor of Public Policy and Corporate Management at the Harvard Kennedy School, and also co-director of the Household Finance working group at the National Bureau of Economic Research. She is a leading expert in behavioral economics and consumer decision-making regarding both health and finance, and in finance,especially savings and retirement. Importantly to me, she is also my faculty advisor for the book I’m writing. Regular listeners know I’m spending two years as a Senior Fellow at the Center for Business and Government in the Kennedy School. As I started into my fellowship last year, I had the great fortune of linking with Brigitte as my faculty advisor for the book. She is part of the movement in economics that’s rethinking the classical theory that assumes that everyone behaves rationally. That work goes to the very heart of the condundrum in consumer finance, where both policymakers and industry have to grapple with the fact that consumers don’t always make the choices that are best for them. Understanding the many reasons why that happens, and how to elicit better decisions, is one of the keys to improving consumer financial health. For this podcast, I met with Brigitte in her office on a lovely summer day. The Kennedy school is a complex of brick buildings clustered on the bank of the Charles River – it’s located about halfway between the Harvard Business School, on the other side of the river, and the old Harvard Yard, which is the traditional heart of the college (Harvard was founded in 1636). The Kennedy School has been undergoing construction ever since I got here – I get a fascinating display of cranes and I-beams and such from my little office space in the Belfer building – but Brigitte and I had a quiet talk during summer semester, with most of the students away. She came to Harvard about 10 years ago, and in our talk, she quoted someone once saying that professional schools tend to be run very much like the professions they represent. It’s certainly true of the Kennedy School, which is all about gathering together a multiplicity of voices to grapple with public policy challenges. And it’s especially true for my center, which is the Mossavar-Rahmani Center for Business and Government. All of our fellows are working on finding practical solutions at the nexus of public policy and the private sector. That’s what Brigitte has done in her research. She started out by looking at data on retirement plans (her first paper was about automatic enrollment), and she found the results so compelling that she didn’t even need to do statistical analysis to see that automatic enrollment led to dramatic increase in savings plan participation, especially among the groups least likely to participate -- employees who were younger, lower-paid employees, newly-hired, black and latino. The automatic enrollment caused an amazing 50-60% increase in plan participation. That paper got a lot of attention and led her to a 20 year research agenda trying to understand financial decisions. I think you’ll be very interested in her views about the track record for policies like financial literacy education and financial incentives to save. She pinpoints complexity as a critical problem, and she’s not a fan of disclosure as the solution. Our talk was especially timely because we met shortly after release of an important study she helped produce, by the Retirement Security and Personal Savings Commission of the Bipartisan Policy Center in Washington. The report is titled Securing Our Financial Future, and makes recommendations for policymakers on how to increase income security for older individuals. She’ll describe some of the highlights. I’m excited about behavioral economics because when these insights are combined with new technology, it becomes possible to create vastly better financial products. You may remember my discussion with Ethan Bloch of Digit, which incorporates these same principles of letting people save automatically instead of through daily effort, and in trying to bring financial decision-making time to zero. Easy and sound financial management is suddenly becoming possible. Brigitte’s biography: Brigitte Madrian is the Aetna Professor of Public Policy and Corporate Management at the Harvard Kennedy School. Before coming to Harvard in 2006, she was on the Faculty at the University of Pennsylvania Wharton School (2003-2006), the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business (1995-2003) and the Harvard University Economics Department (1993-1995). She is also a research associate and co-director of the Household Finance working group at the National Bureau of Economic Research. Dr. Madrian’s current research focuses on behavioral economics and household finance, with a particular focus on household saving and investment behavior. Her work in this area has impacted the design of employer-sponsored savings plans in the U.S. and has influenced pension reform legislation both in the U.S. and abroad. She is also engaged in research on health, using the lens of behavioral economics to understand health behaviors and improve health outcomes; in the past she has also examined the impact of health insurance on the job choice and retirement decisions of employees and the hiring decisions of firms. Dr. Madrian received her Ph.D. in economics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and studied economics as an undergraduate at Brigham Young University. She is the recipient of the National Academy of Social Insurance Dissertation Prize (first place, 1994) and a two-time recipient of the TIAA-CREF Paul A. Samuelson Award for Scholarly Research on Lifelong Financial Security (2002 and 2011). Also….

Have you ever noticed that we often have long lapses of time between when we record a podcast and when we post it? That’s because the show is free, but takes huge amounts of time to produce. And we produce it on a shoestring – I work with my little cadre of young part-timers. If we can develop more revenue, we want to get onto a more frequent and regular schedule. You won’t belive the amazing episodes I have already recorded, but haven’t yet been able to share. So if you love the show – and I hear constantly that people do, and we have thousands of people listening around the world – it would be great for you to send in a little bit of support.
