Iris Bohnet: "What Works: Gender Equality by Design" | Talks at Google

source: Talks at Google    2016年4月28日
Iris Bohnet visited Google's office in Cambridge, MA to discuss her book "What Works: Gender Equality by Design".
Gender equality is a moral and a business imperative. But unconscious bias holds us back, and de-biasing people’s minds has proven to be difficult and expensive. Diversity training programs have had limited success, and individual effort alone often invites backlash. Behavioral design offers a new solution. By de-biasing organizations instead of individuals, we can make smart changes that have big impacts. Presenting research-based solutions, Iris Bohnet provides the tools required to move the needle in classrooms and boardrooms, in hiring and promotion, benefiting businesses, governments, and the lives of millions.
Iris Bohnet is a behavioral economist at Harvard University, where she is a professor, Director of the Women and Public Policy Program, and Co-Chair of the Behavioral Insights Group at the Kennedy School of Government.

Angela Duckworth: "Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance" | Talks at Google

Author Angela Duckworth visited Google's office in NYC to discuss her book, "Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance" with Ben Fried, Google's CIO and Site Lead in NYC.
In GRIT, Angela Duckworth explores the science of why some people succeed and others fail, and why talent alone doesn’t guarantee success. She shows us that perseverance and passion matter at least as much as talent and intelligence.

Angela Duckworth, PhD, is a 2013 MacArthur Fellow and professor of psychology at the University of Pennsylvania. An expert in non-I.Q. competencies, she has advised the White House, the World Bank, NBA and NFL teams, and Fortune 500 CEOs. Prior to her career in research, she taught children math and science and was the co-founder of a summer school for low-income children that won the Better Government Award from the state of Massachusetts. She completed her BA in neurobiology at Harvard, her MSc in neuroscience at Oxford, and her PhD in psychology at the University of Pennsylvania. More recently, she co-founded the Character Lab, a nonprofit whose mission is to advance the science and practice of character development in children.

Drug Trials: Challenges for Alzheimer’s and Other Urgent Needs

source: Harvard University     2016年4月18日
This Forum explored the challenges and complexities of drug trials, and how they impact disease treatment and prevention — particularly for conditions that currently have little or no therapeutic options. As a case study, the panel discussed Alzheimer’s and several drugs in development for that disease, but also addressed broader concerns related to the pharmaceutical testing pipeline for unmet medical needs as a whole. This event was presented April 15, 2016 in partnership with HHMI Tangled Bank Studios, in collaboration with STAT, and in association with NOVA.

When Neighbors Become Violent: Struggles with the Democracy of Everyday Life

Senator Joseph Clark Professor of Ethics in Politics and Government
Harvard University

Abstract
Our lives at home are afflicted by neighbors’ ordinary offenses. They are deranged by violent neighbors: random and organized violence, government sponsored betrayal and government condoned murder. Neighbors hold our lives in their hands. When elements of neighborliness survive extreme situations, they have extraordinary ethical force. Rosenblum shows why, and explores the significance of “good neighbors” for democracy in America.

Diane Von Furstenberg: 40 Years of the Wrap Dress | Parsons School of De...

The New School (http://www.newschool.edu) presents a conversation between Diane von Furstenberg, celebrated fashion designer and chair of the Council of Fashion Designer of America (CFDA), and Professor Hazel Clark, Research Chair of Fashion at Parsons (http://www.newschool.edu/parsons), marking 40 years of the wrap dress and discussing the ways in which American fashion design has changed since 1974 as well as the past and future of this singular look.
In 1974 Diane Von Furstenberg introduced a modern design classic into the American consciousness: the wrap dress. The garment defined the 1970s and outfitted a generation of women seeking (and achieving) professional, personal, and sexual independence.
