Ben WaberWhen you give platelets it doesn’t impact exercise the following day, so while lying immobilized for two hours and preserving my long run tomorrow I listened to talks for my #AcademicRunPlaylist! (1/5)
First was an excellent talk by Ruth Okediji on TRIPS, innovation, and the future of minimum IP standards at the Cambridge Faculty of Law https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYMd43bvp7Y (2/5)
Thirty Plus One: TRIPS, Innovation, and the Political Future of Minimum IP Standards
Next was an interesting talk by William Magnuson on AI use in hedge funds at Cambridge Law https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ssRu9NCiNU (3/5)
The Deep Learning of Hedge Funds: 3CL Seminar
Next was "Scaling Migrant Worker Rights" by Xóchitl Bada and Shannon Gleeson. This book nicely lays out the complex network of organizations and systems that have developed in the US to support migrant Mexican workers. I do wonder how much of what has been laid out here has been upended by the current administration

Last was "Hubris" by Johannes Krause and Thomas Trappe. This book is essentially a 1990s-era retelling of the history of human evolution and diffusion across the Earth using the most up to date scientific results. Pretty much everything this book covers is better covered elsewhere, and you'll avoid anachronistic framings of human supremacy and other discredited concepts
