Episode #36
Today, we’re talking about talks. Specifically, about *bad* talks. Speaking in public is such a core part of the academic life. We get jobs through it, we share ideas with our community, and we sometimes even try to persuade for money with speeches. And yet, it’s so hard to come by discussion, reflection and sharing about the act of talking. Worry not, GLaD to the rescue!
Episode #35
On this episode, Dani, Rachel, and Levi join Elizabeth Delmelle , Associate Professor in the Weitzman School of Design at the University of Pennsylvania and Director of the Masters in Urban Spatial Analytics (MUSA) program, to talk a bit about how AI continues to change our academic practice. About a year ago, GLaD went on the record about how AI was impacting how we work, live, teach, and research. And wow! How things have changed! Or have they? The tools have definitely gotten better in some ways, the capital-”D” Discourse has certainly moved on a bit, and at least one of us has apparently made friends with a chatbot named Claude. So today is our one-year check-up. Join us to reflect on what stuck, what didn’t, and what we’re thinking about today that we weren't a year ago.

It's super-human breadth."
Episode #34
This episode is part of our ongoing and occasional series on, “A Day in the Life of…” where we talk to folks about what exactly it is that they do (sadly, the evidence across episodes is starting to indicate that much of the answer is meetings and email). Like, how did they decide what they wanted to be when they grew up? And—just as interesting (we think)—how do they organize that crazy basket of activities that makes up “work?” What does a typical workday, week, or year look like? We're pretty excited to have Sarah Williams in our virtual studio with us for this episode. Sarah is a Professor in Urban Planning at MIT and she’s also Director of the Civic Data Design Lab and the Leventhal Center for Advanced Urbanism. Join us to hear what she has to say!
Episode #33
Today, we’re talking about embeddings. Unless you’ve been living… well, I don’t know where, you might have heard of the term generative AI. At the core of this technology is an obscure idea, word embeddings, that powers much of its magic. Embeddings work for text, but not only so. They also work for imagery and other types of geospatial data. This idea is taking force in certain circles, and we thought it’d be worth spending some chat time with this! Join us for a (hopefully) "lay enough" conversation about one of the most interesting ideas in geo-data that the last few years have produced.
Episode #32
You think balancing babies and a career is tough; try recording a podcast episode about the topic! Kidding. Sort of. In this episode, Dani, Levi, and Rachel are joined by special guest, Elisabetta Pietrostefani, from the University of Liverpool, for a wide-ranging conversation about babies and (academic) work. The complicated decisions around whether and when to have kids. Things we wish we'd thought of. Tips for navigating different stages of kid and career. One of the most interesting things about this episode, we think, is just how tricky it was to navigate the conversation—an important takeaway lesson!
