@andresmh@jbigham Oh sign me up for that! Also if you could make a feed that shows the most recent unread post from everyone you follow (only a single post) I would be eternally grateful 🙏
First was a great talk by Jordan Ellenberg on the importance of uncertainty and contradiction in math and why mathematics is actually part of the humanities at the Santa Fe Institute https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L1pXQNaS9Oo (2/11) #math#statistics
First was an interesting panel on the degree to which patents have a chilling effect on overall R&D at the UCL Faculty of Laws with Robin Jacob, Nikolaus Thumm, John Howells, Ken Shadlen, and David Rosenberg. While there wasn't enough examination of the challenges of market entry for my tastes, this is still a good review of evidence in favor of the current patent system https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8BNaHJzt_Aw (2/9) #economics#law
Next was a great symposium on clinical trial data sharing and reproducibility at the Harvard Medical School Center for Bioethics with Jeffrey Drazen, Harlan Krumholz, and Ameet Sarpatwari. The implications of this discussion go far beyond medicine, applying to many data-intensive disciplines where data collection is labor intensive, ethically fraught, and devalued by the academic community https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThbJJC2kOdc (5/9) #bioethics#ethics#data#science
Next was an excellent talk by Jonathan Lazar on born-accessible design and the inclusion efforts underway at UMD at the @hcil_umd. The breadth of activities in this area frankly puts most other labs to shame, and should be applauded and emulated/built upon widely https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmkscqh34L4 (7/9) #HCI#accessibility
Next was a fascinating talk by Carolina López-Ruiz on the Phoenicians and the development of the Mediterranean seen through the lens of archaeological sites of Tartessos (southern Iberia) at Brown University https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ffcFY8Ssgs (8/9) #archaeology#history
Our second panel of the day is all about AI and teams. The panel features Susan Campbell, Marine Carpuat, Stephanie Valencia, and Susannah Paletz. To read more about the work on teams and organizations, check out OTTRS: https://ottrs.ischool.umd.edu#hcil2024
@andresmh@susannahpaletz@hcil_umd@jbigham@merrie@juhokim@msbernst Not a good social media discussion, but IMO it's extremely problematic to refer to a person using an AI tool as a "team." A person using Google isn't a team, nor could a pencil be considered a teammate in a larger group. They're tools
Next was an engaging session on industrial policy for innovation at the Harvard Center for International Development with Chiara Criscuolo, Munseob Lee, Barry Naughton, and Ernesto Stein. The examination of Korea's industrial policy was particularly fascinating, especially Hitachi's critical role in making Samsung the behemoth it is today https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OtvKfONe0bs (5/8) #economics
Next was a thought-provoking session on industrial policy for SMEs at the Harvard CID with Jie Bai, Michela Giorcelli, and Andrés Zahler. This is an often overlooked area of industrial policy, but as it's arguably the most important it was refreshing to hear it examined in detail https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLaQTC7k4tw (7/8) #economics
