Ben WaberA busy end to a busy week (although next week will be even busier 😉), but I was able to find time to listen to a bunch of great talks for my boot-edition #AcademicRunPlaylist! (1/5)
First was an excellent panel on the present and future of worker influence at #CASBS with John Ahlquist, Roy Bahat, Oren Cass, and Veena Dubal. There's a lot of focus on how #unions can grow in the US and the promise of sectoral bargaining, but the panel also touches on what worker voice actually means and how modern employees want different things of their unions than members in past decades. Highly recommend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p0zIO9k13O8 (2/5) #labor #work #HR
Episode 23: "New Visions for Effective Worker Influence"
Next was an interesting talk by Monica Alexander on Bayesian #demography at the University of Washington. Alexander goes through the history of demography and how Bayesian methods first started to be used, in what contexts they can be effective, and how they should be used moving forward https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RtMYaBe1D0 (3/5) #statistics
Monica Alexander - Seminar - "Bayesian demography: a brief history, recent applications, and..."
Next was a nice conversation with Adam Alter on breakthroughs at the Behavior Change for Good Initiative. The discussion covers how and why people get stuck, what can help them get unstuck, and the factors that can help breakthroughs become more likely in organizations https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_WyDnMSNQs (4/5)
Behavioral Science Authors Series - Adam Alter
Last was an engaging panel on the #ethics of using #LLMs in #healthcare and how they should be regulated at Stanford HAI with Justin Norden, Glenn Cohen, Lisa Lehmann, Yauheni Solad, and Troy Tazbaz. I particularly liked the portion highlighting the existing regulations that already apply to the use of LLMs in medical contexts https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yG7v4X6cxGg (5/5)
