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: EAGxBoston: Updates and Info from the Organizing Team, published by Kaleem on March 11, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. TLDR: All you need to know about EAGxBoston - It's going to be awesome ! Also: If you would like to nominate a friend or colleague to present at EAGxBoston, or have presented at an EAG(x) before and would like to do so at EAGxBoston, please email us at boston@eaglobalx.org (edit: the email address above only got corrected at 1pm EST on the 11th of March - if you were trying to email us before that, we apologize and kindly ask you to resend your email to the corrected address) Intro EAGxBoston will be taking place from 6pm on Friday the 1st of April until 8pm on Sunday the 3rd of April. We're very excited about how big, exciting, and high quality this conference is shaping up to be—we are prepared to welcome up to 1,000 attendees and it's looking possible that we'll actually be doing that. If this is your first time attending an EA conference (or even if you have attended one before but perhaps didn't take preparation seriously) we suggest reading these excellent posts about how to get ready for an EA conference. We're also still eager to expand our team of pre-event and on-the-day volunteers (it'll be fun and impactful) ! There are lots of other ways to engage with other attendees before the event: there is an #eagxboston-2022 channel on the Groups Slack, there is this WhatsApp group, there are EA Facebook pages, and the Swapcard app (launching soon!). The applications for EAGxBoston close on the 21st of March. Dates and times In case you missed this somehow, the conference is happening from the 1st to 3rd of April 2022. We hope to make the detailed schedule of sessions at the conference available soon, through the Swapcard app. In the meantime, we can tell you generally that there will be an opening reception and career fair/internship fair/academic program fair from 6-9pm on the 1st of April, and that the conference will be open from 8am-8pm on the 2nd and 3rd, but we will try to have the majority of programming fall between 10am and 6pm. Location The conference will be happening at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center (BCEC) located at 415 Summer St, Boston, MA 02210, in Boston's Seaport District. There are multiple ways to get to the venue: You can use the MBTA (Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority)'s Red Line or Silver Line, or the 4, 7, or 11 bus, depending where you are starting from. If you're using the red line, South Station is the closest station to BCEC (~10min / ~1.1km/ ~0.7mile walk). Broadway station is also close (~12min / ~1.4km / ~0.9mile walk). If you use the silver line, the SL1, SL2, SL3, and SLW all stop right next to BCEC. Venue info If you've looked at BCEC online or via maps, you'd have noticed that it's basically the size of a small airport. We will be using the entirety of one side of the second floor—that is to say, we have loads of space. In addition to the massive amount of meeting (and eating) space, you can also walk around the rest of the interior of BCEC, or around its exterior perimeter. What there'll be in the venue Coat check Quiet space 2 large one-on-one spaces with >100 2-person tables General session space Dining space for ~800 people at a time 7 ~60 person workshop/meeting spaces First aid Security at the entrances What we recommend you bring with you Refillable water bottle Rain jacket/umbrella Laptop/notebook Laptop and phone chargers Things to help you de-stress or relax during off time, such as a book or headphones or an eye mask if you want to take a nap Necessary medications Covid policy We will not mandate the wearing of masks.

The full broadcast of Boston Public Radio from Friday, February 15th, 2019. Amid financial setbacks, General Electric decided to scale back its plans for a headquarters by selling its Seaport District property and doing away with most of the jobs that would come with it. Did Massachusetts get duped? Or is it a win that the state will be reimbursed the $87 million of tax incentives we gave them to move to Boston? Shirley Leung, the Boston Globe’s interim editorial page editor and a WGBH contributor, joined us for that and more. Then, on top of GE pulling out of Boston, Amazon bailed on New York, rescinding its plans to develop another headquarters in Long Island City, Queens. We opened the lines to ask you, is it time we bail out on corporate America? As she does every Friday, Emily Rooney joined us for her famous list of fixations and fulminations, and more.

Detox products have become a staple in the health and wellness industry. There are detox teas, detox massages and detox gut cleanses … but do we know what we’re actually detoxifying ourselves of?

Researchers at the Silent Spring Institute have developed a test that detects the presence of 10 of the most common household chemicals that can accumulate in our bodies. This is all part of a scientific study to get a better sense of our collective exposure to environmental chemicals. Joining us to talk about the study are Ruthann Rudel, director of research at Silent Spring Institute, and Dr. Cathie Ragovin, a psychiatrist, co-founder of the Silent Spring Institute and co-chair of its Board of Directors.

Transportation guru Fred Salvucci said on the Codcast that the proposed West Station is needed now to deal with congestion in Kenmore Square and the Seaport District, not future congestion caused by Harvard University's creation of a new neighborhood in the Allston Landing area. Salvucci's position is sharply at odds with the views of the Baker administration, which believes current ridership projections for the station are too low to justify building West Station in the near future. Transportation Secretary Stephanie Pollack has said it would be wise to hold off on West Station until around 2040 when Harvard's development plans for the area are more fully formulated. But Salvucci, who served 12 years as state transportation secretary under former governor Michael Dukakis and now teaches at MIT, said the transit connections offered by West Station are needed now to relieve existing congestion on the Massachusetts Turnpike.

She is in the process of honing her ability to taste and understand wine, which may sound silly, but being able to articulate the flavor profile of a wine is a talent.   We also discuss: Roller derby The city of Boston Opening a vintage furniture business Getting overworked Annie’s ability to articulate the flavor of food Developing a passion for wine Preparing for a sommelier exam How we deal with difficult people How servers can set the tone for a whole evening Resources: Eat at Menton Annie Patterson’s Bio: Annie Patterson grew up on an orchard in the Sierra Nevada foothills of Northern CA. She started working in restaurants at a young age and annoyed all her coworkers with a never-ending stream of questions about food and wine. She enjoys being outside, dogs, well-made food & wine, and laughing at inappropriate times. She has lived all over her native state of California and currently resides in the beautiful city of “Bahstan, MA,” with her pug and girlfriend of 5 years. She continues to annoy her coworkers with a non-stop stream of thought and questions.

Patrick Sullivan, executive director of the Seaport TMA, estimates 4,000 people on a typical weekday come into North Station and then take shuttles to the congested Seaport District. He said his organization hopes to eliminate a lot of that vehicle traffic by launching a water shuttle between Lovejoy Wharf and the South Boston waterfront this summer. Test runs showed the trip would take about 13 minutes. Sullivan, participating in the Codcast with James Aloisi and Marc Ebuna of TransitMatters, said Silver Line service from South Station to the Seaport District is at capacity most weekday mornings, but there are no plans to expand the 32-bus fleet. The three discussed ways to boost capacity by creating dedicated lanes or adjusting traffic signals to speed up the buses.

The panel is back for a post-election show crush-loaded with over an hour of the latest transportation news and analysis, this time joined by the Walking Bostonian (Matthew Danish) to explain how the theory of induced (travel) demand applies to roads and transit in Boston. We learn about everything from our most frustrating transit line (hint: it's green) to efforts to re imagine a boulevard of death (Commonwealth Ave in Allston & Brighton) to an entirely new neighborhood about to be created in Allston -- if we get it right. November's show would not be complete without a recap of the election including the repeal of gas tax indexing, speculation on transit's future under Governor Charlie Baker and how we might build on the legacy of the late Mayor Menino. We also discussed: making Commonwealth Ave (Allston/Brighton) safe for people; Mass Pike straightening and the future West Station; restoration of some weekend commuter rail service; the Fairmount Line; South Station expansion and the North-South rail link; thinking about Hubway as part of the public transportation network; a lazy bike safety report; the Lynn ferry experiment; and potential transit solutions for the Seaport District.

Chasing Classic Cars is the only TV show I DVR. There is much to like about the show, from the celebration of American car culture, the design, to the history of the cars and the stories behind the chase. Wayne’s passion for what he does is also a big part of the show’s appeal. It’s fun to watch someone having so much fun! His projects are fascinating and his clients range from Jay Leno to Wall Street titans to local car king Herb Chambers. The guys in his shop have seeming worked there forever, and the show places a real emphasis on family. Wayne’s daughter has autism and I admire all the work he does to raise money for Autism Speaks. Wayne could not have been more kind or gracious with his time tonight. I hope to get to meet him next weekend at the New England International Auto Show at the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center in the Seaport District.
