Beginning with the tale of an unsolved mystery, and expanding to the U.S. Capitol riots on January 6, 2021, UW Professor of Law Mary D. Fan takes us through a look at how crimes are being solved through the use of digital searches. Keyword and geofence warrants are now tools helping law enforcement identify unknown perpetrators. However, courts are split over their constitutionality. Search and arrest warrants are in the text of the Fourth Amendment, but how do we apply constitutional rights with “technological probable cause” and the deployment of big data searches? Twice recognized as the large section Professor of the Year at UW Law, Mary D. Fan is the Jack R. MacDonald Endowed Chair and teaches criminal law. She has a J.D. from Yale, a master's from Cambridge and is a Ph.D. candidate in epidemiology at the University of Washington.

GUEST: UW Atmospheric Sciences Professor, author, and weather blogger at CliffMass.blogspot.com, the aforementioned, Cliff Mass, shares his reaction to this week's U.N. Climate Report and says the report "goes from science to advocacy". Mass is concerned the new U.N. report is a "political document". Mass says the new U.N. report, based on 1.5 C of planetary warming is an "arbitrary threshold", Mass says its non-sensical to claim that 0.3 degrees ore of warming by the end of the 21st century will be catastrophic, Mass says the amount of people being damaged by devastating storms is going down but the U.N. avoided talking about that, Mass laments the difficulty of the public getting "reliable information" regarding climate science but recommends Roger Pelke's Substack account, Bjorn Lumborg is reasonable but not a scientist tracking climate politics.

Most of the time on the Interesting Lives of Normal People, we try to dig into the stories of our guests to find out what they're all about, what's been on their mind, and what they ‘just need to get out into the world.' This podcast turned out to be a bit of the reverse. In this episode with Dr. David Burke, mentor and friend of Jake's, and a long-time pastor, it's as though we were the ones doing the sharing. Especially about the church and American Christianity today. Surprise, surprise: talking about Christianity and the church (*during COVID*) struck some nerves and David opened up the space for us to share some thoughts, concerns, and hopes--holding all of them with grace and aplomb. It was clear in our conversation that David is no stranger to opening up space for others. Opening his schedule for his wife's budding midlife painting career. Opening up a grocery store where low-income residents could shop in the middle of their food desert, Opening up his home and heart for his adopted twins *on top of his 4 other kids*. We hope this conversation opens up something for you--maybe even something unexpected.

The predictions turned out to be true — that we would not know the result of the presidential contest on Election Night, and that there would be false claims in the meantime. Last night, President Donald Trump incorrectly claimed victory, with no basis for doing so. At the time of his remarks from the East Room of the White House, neither candidate was close to the threshold of 270 electoral votes needed to claim the presidency. To understand the national picture, we turn to a voice right here in the Northwest.

It's not easy to discuss the Northwest's risks of earthquakes in comparison to the risks of climate change, but those are the two topics shared by University of Washington Professor Paul Johnson in this Bainbridge interview via skype. Paul, who is a UW Professor of Oceanography and Adjunct Professor of Earth and Space Sciences was recently the featured speaker at the monthly Open Mic Science event at the Treehouse Cafe on Bainbridge. His topic that December night was earthquake risk and the results of his recent research in the Pacific Ocean where two massive geologic plates are colliding and sticking and creating the preconditions to earthquake activity. In addition to his field research on conditions relating to seismic activity, Professor Johnson has, for the last 19 years, taught University of Washington students about the science and facts of climate change. The first half of this podcast discusses earthquake risk. Paul's own research, about the research ocean vessel Atlantis, in the Pacific west of Grays Harbor in August 2013, confirmed the approximate location of the “locked zone” between two plates, where the greatest risk of the largest quakes is likely to originate (similar to the historically massive magnitude 9 quake in Japan in 2011). The second half of this podcast discusses climate change, and the clear consensus among scientists that we are experiencing climate change that is primarily caused by manmade factors. Paul reflects on the various influences on public opinion and the lack of well-informed awareness among many. He comments briefly on the form that climate change is likely to take in the Northwest. And he responds to recent assertions by some about solar activity as a cause of climate change, and the questions that some people raise about the slower growth of surface temperatures in 2000-2010 as compared to 1980-2000. Professor Johnson's December visit to Bainbridge Island was hosted by the Bainbridge Open Mic Science group that sponsors talks -- on the first Monday of the month at 8pm at the Treehouse -- by scientists offering their informal remarks on their various scientific endeavors. Credits: BCB host, editor and social media publisher: Barry Peters.

The history of Seattle, of any city really, shows in the buildings that are still standing and the ones that have been torn down. In Seattle, the Pike Place Market came close to being demolished. That weird garage in Pioneer Square dubbed the sinking ship, it might've been the template for the entire neighborhood. The fact that it stands ugly and alone is a testament to the social and political activism of "Allied Arts." The group has receded in influence in recent years. But through the efforts of its eclectic members, much of what we value about the city still stands.R.M. Campbell arts critics for the Seattle P.I. for 30 years. He was around for many of the battles Allied Arts launched. Mary Coney, now a retired UW Professor , was one of the Presidents of Allied Arts. Campbell has written a history of the organization, "Stirring Up Seattle: Allied Arts in the Civc Landscape." Mary Coney provided a lot of history, facts and material for the book. When you read it, you might be surprised to find out who some of the Allied Arts firebrands were. Some names will be familiar, some will be new. But for almost 30 years, the one time "Beer and Culture Society" shaped the city we know today.
