Ben WaberIt's been a long travel day to Madrid, but at least I got to listen to a lot of talks for my #AcademicRunPlaylist! (1/12)

Next was a timely talk by Mert Demirer on the effects of GDPR on firms at the Toulouse School of Economics.

Last was "The Story of the Human Body" by Daniel Lieberman. This is very much two books - the first about human evolution, while the second is mostly a philosophical polemic on modern health with many stylized facts but very little rigorous analysis. The first book is worth reading, as it gives not only a good overview of the evolutionary path humans took and our interesting adaptations around things like running and throwing, but I would skip the second book.
