Made in partnership with the Always #LikeAGirl campaign.
The victory of the underdog. The last minute penalty shot that wins the tournament. The training montage. Many people love to glorify victory on the field, cheer for teams, and play sports. But should we be obsessed with sports? Are sports as good for us as we make them out to be, or are they just a fun and entertaining pastime? Leah Lagos and Jaspal Ricky Singh show what science has to say on the matter.

Askwith Forum – With This Ring: Winning Marriage Equality


source: HarvardEducation   2016年4月13日
Speakers:
• Julie Goodridge, Ed.M.’83, Founder and CEO, NorthStar Asset Management; lead plaintiff in Goodridge v. Department of Public Health, winning marriage rights for same sex couples in Massachusetts
• Timothy McCarthy, Lecturer on History and Literature, Harvard College; Adjunct Lecturer in Public Policy and Director of the Sexuality, Gender, and Human Rights Program, Carr Center for Human Rights Policy, Harvard Kennedy School
• Marc Solomon, Principal and National Director, Civitas Public Affairs; former National Campaign Director, Freedom to Marry; author, Winning Marriage: The Inside Story of How Same-Sex Couples Took on the Politicians and Pundits—and Won
Moderator: Matthew Miller, Ed.M.’01, Ed.D.’06, Lecturer on Education and Associate Dean for Learning and Teaching, HGSE
Public opinion on marriage equality shifted more dramatically than nearly any other civil rights debate in history. What made the movement successful? What lessons can we learn from the marriage equality movement? What's next for LGBTQ equality, now that marriage is the law of the land? What role should educators play in advancing equality? How can teachers and school leaders create safe and welcoming spaces for LGBTQ families?
This forum is being held in conjunction with the Out Front! LGBTQ Leaders to Learn From speakers series, and is part of HGSE's Fulfilling the Promise of Diversity community conversation.

Empathic Media: The Case of Gaming


source: Stanford     2016年6月13日
From the Interactive Media & Games Seminar Series; Andrew McStay, a Reader in Advertising and Digital Media, Bangor University examines how gaming is a leading example of empathic media because it was first within the media industry to market rich consumer-level biometric entertainment; but also because it offers a clear sense of the value exchange implicit in consumer-level empathic media (data for services).

說明在1987年的股票市場大崩潰之後,混沌經濟學便逐漸成為眾人注目的焦點。特別是­在進入21世紀後,高頻率的股票市場暴漲暴跌現象,早已脫離常態分佈應有的表現。在這­個非常態已逐漸成為常態的時代,黑天鵝成群飛來,混沌經濟學能否解釋並預測經濟市場上­的變化?混沌經濟學是否能與大數據分析結合來幫助我們度過這個混沌的年代?

本講座將從物理學與經濟學的發展與研究演進的比較開始,逐步介紹混沌經濟學的起源與研­究方法。混沌經濟學,也稱為非線性經濟學,開始於20世紀80年代
,應用非線性混沌理­論來解釋現實經濟現象,並考慮經濟活動的非線性相互作用,充分利用非線性動力學的分叉­、分形和混沌等理論,分析經濟系統的動態行為,以期產生新的經濟概念、新的經濟分析方­法,得到新的經濟規律的一門新興跨領域科學。

Shaolan Hsueh: "Chineasy" | Talks at Google


source: Talks at Google     2016年6月2日
We were joined in London by Shaolan Hsueh who shared the journey behind Chineasy, and taught us some Chinese characters along the way. Shaolan can be found on Twitter at @ShaoLan_Hsueh
Recorded in London, March 2016

About the book:
Learning Chinese is hard, and ShaoLan made it her mission to simplify it as much as possible. Her system, Chineasy, associates the complex Chinese characters with easy to understand beautiful illustrations of their meaning. She published her first book in 2014 and now she is back with a second, richly illustrated book Chineasy Everyday.

Alice Medrich: "Flavor Flours" | Talks at Google


source: Talks at Google     2016年5月13日
Chef Alice Medrich demos a recipe at KitchenSync. Using flours such as rice, oat, corn, buckwheat, chestnut, teff, sorghum, and coconut as hero ingredients and sources of flavor and texture—not just as mere substitutes for wheat flour—Flavor Flours breaks tradition with classic and contemporary gluten-free baking.
Winner, James Beard Foundation Award, Best Book of the Year in Baking & Desserts

In this monumental new work, beloved dessert queen Alice Medrich applies her baking precision and impeccable palate to flavor flours—wheat-flour alternatives including rice flour, oat flour, corn flour, sorghum flour, teff, and more. The resulting (gluten-free!) recipes show that baking with alternate flours adds an extra dimension of flavor. Brownies made with rice flour taste even more chocolaty. Buckwheat adds complexity to a date and nut cake. Ricotta cheesecake gets bonus flavor from a chestnut flour crust; teff is used to make a chocolate layer cake that can replace any birthday cake with equally pleasing results. All of the nearly 125 recipes—including Double Oatmeal Cookies, Buckwheat Gingerbread, Chocolate Chestnut Soufflé Cake, and Blueberry Corn Flour Cobbler—take the flavors of our favorite desserts to the next level.

The book is organized by flour, with useful information on its taste, flavor affinities, and more. And because flavor flours don’t react in recipes the same way as wheat flour, Medrich explains her innovative new techniques with the clarity and detail she is known for.
