Speaker(s): Professor Andrew Gamble | One of the aims of LSE Summer School is to bring the LSE experience to all those attending its many courses between July and August. Five years ago we launched our first full programme of Lectures. These have been an immense success. All lectures are exclusively for LSE Summer School students, and are given by top flight speakers talking on the big issues of the day. The events begin at 5.30pm and take place in the Old Theatre, located in the Old Building on Houghton Street. Lectures will be followed by a reception where students will be able to speak to the lecturers. Credits: Tom Sturdy (Audio Post-Production), LSE AV Services (Audio Recording).

Crisis without End? The Unravelling of Western Prosperity [Audio]

Did you know that your body language is responsible for 60% of your communications and that first impressions are nonverbal? Vanessa Van Edwards, from Science of People, shares some best practices for acing a job interview based on her team’s scientific research. &nbsp; &nbsp; Body language research shows us that the first thing an interviewer sees is called a ‘glance test.’ Humans used to use this first glance to determine if an approaching person was a friend or foe. It is an instinctive response we still use today, even though we may not be aware of it. To make the most out of our time in front of an interviewer Vanessa offers up these tips... During a job interview applicants should:  Nail the first impression by using expansive body language and making their hands visible. Shake the interviewer’s hand at the beginning and at the end of the interview. Demonstrate competence by aligning your body with the interviewer's body, nod to show you are listening and speak naturally. Use your portfolio or leave behind a document to open up an interviewer's closed body language. End the interview with a lean-in handshake and good eye contact. Walk side by side with the interviewer on your way out of the office.  If you feel like a winner and have a winner’s posture you will come across as a winner!

Ep. 048:  Ace a Job Interview with Body Language, with Vanessa Van Edwards

Alcohol use disorder is often co-morbid with a variety of mental health conditions. It can be challenging for clinicians to tease out which of these conditions are primary, with alcohol being used as an attempt to alleviate symptoms, and which of these are secondary to the physiological and psychosocial impacts of alcohol itself. In the lead up to Christmas 2016 our expert panel tackled the complexities of the interface between alcohol and mental health presentations.

Panel members:
Dr Oliver O’Connell - Consultant Psychiatrist, Addiction Specialist, Psychotherapist Medical Director Drug & Alcohol Services and Medical Superintendent, Wesley Hospital Ashfield
Professor Frances Kay-Lambkin PhD - NHMRC Senior Research Fellow
Director (Translation), NHMRC CRE in Mental Health & Substance Use, Deputy Director (Mental Health Hub), Centre for Brain and Mental Health Priority Research Centre, The University of Newcastle
Matthew - Lived experience representative

Facilitated by: Dr Vered Gordon, Black Dog Institute GP Consultant

During this conversation, Alex shares a story about when he first became aware of the power of the mind on performance with his own frustrations for years of trying to break the 4 minute mark for the 1500m. Alex shares how his experience in the track race then became the pursuit of determining just what role the brain and mind play in determining our physical performance and potential. Alex takes us deep into the 10 years of research gathering and writing to produce what is now in the New York Times Best Selling Publication. We take a journey back to Alex knocking on sport Scientist’s doors like Tim Noakes, observing the Comrades Marathon, pursuing the world’s best academics across the world including Australia, Alex’s own attempts at maximising his own performance and the science of the great stories that you will find inside Endure. If you ever wondered whether our individual limits are set by the heart and the head or by our muscles then you get really enjoy this.

123: Alex Hutchinson - Author New York Times Bestseller ENDURE

"Prayers are tools not for doing or getting but for being and becoming." These are words of the legendary pastor and writer Eugene Peterson, whose biblical imagination has formed generations of preachers. At the back of the church he led for nearly three decades, you’d be likely to find well-worn copies of books by Wallace Stegner or Denise Levertov. Frustrated with the unimaginative way he found his congregants treating their Bibles, he translated it himself, and that translation has sold millions of copies around the world. Eugene Peterson’s down-to-earth faith hinges on a love of metaphor and a commitment to the Bible’s poetry as what keeps it alive to the world. This interview is edited and produced with music and other features in the On Being episode "Eugene Peterson — The Bible, Poetry, and Active Imagination." Find more at onbeing.org.

The Sports Scientists is a podcast designed with the primary intention of having some fun chatting about fitness. If we're offensive, it's all meant in good fun, and we do apologize in advance! Every week, we'll talk about (mostly) fitness related issues and make bad jokes about them. We'll definitely have some actual intellectual content, but the attempts at humor will be much more predominant. Drs. Mike Israetel and James Hoffmann are both sport scientists, and if you're looking for their intellectual work, their social media accounts are where to find links to it. Marcos Rodriguez is a longtime personal trainer to celebrities and business leaders in New York City, and has his ear to the street on current (and usually ridiculous) fitness trends and fads.

The Sport Scientists EP 15

On this week’s podcast, Wes Reisz talks with Brian Goetz. Brian is the Java Language Architect at Oracle. The two start with a discussion on what the six-month cadence has meant to the teams developing Java. Then move to a review of the features in Java 9 through 12. Finally, the two discuss the longer-term side projects (such as Amber, Loom, and Valhalla) and their role in the larger release process for the JDK.

* The JVM’s sixth-month cadence changed the way the JDK is delivered and planned. While it definitely provides more rapid delivery at expected intervals, the release train approach turned out to also improve flexibility and efficiency.
* Oracle JDK and OpenJDK are almost identical. Most of the JDK distributions are forks from OpenJDK with different bug fixes and backports applied. So the difference between the distributions now is largely which bug fixes are picked up.
* Local Variable inference (which was released as part of Java 10) illustrated the tension on making changes to the language. Many people wanted the change, but many others felt it would enable people to write bad code. Oracle had to balance the two views when making the change.
* The number of Java versions allow finer grain decision making on what is appropriate for an application. With the adoption of containers, applications are bundled with an exact JDK version rather than having to use one from a systems level. The different versions give developers more options.
* Incubating features are new libraries added to the JDK. They were offered starting with Java 9 as a way for people to test and offer feedback more rapidly. With Java 12, preview features will be released. Preview features are similar but are core platform and language features.
* Shenandoah and ZGC are both low latency garbage collectors. They originally came from different sources. While both garbage collectors are similar, each has different performance characteristics under different workloads. The two garbage collectors represent options available to JVM developers.
* Most non-trivial JDK features take more than six months to develop. Longer term side projects like Amber, Loom, Valhalla are where these features are developed prior to being released with a version of the JDK. The projects range from language enhancements to concurrency work.

SDS 235: Living the Dream With Data Science

This Extra Inning of the Ballpark features audio from the US Centre’s event “Conspiracy Theories in the Age of Trump,” which took place on 25 July 2018. Joseph Uscinski, associate professor of political science at University of Miami, speaks about his book American Conspiracy Theories and why President Trump might be America’s first conspiratorial president. Using an analysis of more than a hundred years of data taken from newspapers, surveys, and the internet, Professor Uscinski demonstrates that conspiracy theories follow a strategic logic: they are tools used by the powerless to attack and defend against the powerful. Our chair for this event, Ros Taylor, is Research Manager for the LSE Truth, Trust & Technology Commission, based in the Media Policy Project within the Department of Media and Communications at LSE.
