The Gist - Racism In The Simulation
On the Gist, a sigh.
In the interview, Mike talks to Dr. Rashawn Ray, a sociologist studying new methods of measuring implicit bias using virtual simulations of police officer decision-making at the Lab for Applied Social Science Research at the University of Maryland, College Park. He and his team are encouraged that by researching and educating law enforcement with real life social interaction training, they might be able to incite change in outcomes between officers and civilians. Ray is a Brookings Institution fellow and associate professor of sociology at UMD. Part one of their conversation is today.

Consider This from NPR - The President’s New Advisor Is A Fan Of ‘Herd Immunity’ — And Scientists Are Worried
As the Northern Hemisphere prepares for a flu season with COVID-19, there are lessons to be learned from the south. Countries like Australia and Argentina made it through the middle of winter with very few cases of the flu. That could be thanks to social distancing measures in place to fight the coronavirus.

The Right to Drink - The Right to Drink Trailer – Coming September 15!
“The Right to Drink” is a new podcast about drinking and everything that gets in the way. Prohibition may have been 100 years ago, but some of the craziest laws on the books still get in the way of Americans enjoying the right to produce, consume, and sell the booziest beverages.
Host, expert and author Jarrett Dieterle (Give Me Liberty & Give Me a Drink, Artisan Books) will introduce you to brewers, distillers, and bartenders who will help answer questions like: Why does your cocktail cost so much? Why do brewers get in trouble for putting curse words on beer bottles? And why do so many states ban happy hour?
This podcast is brought to you by the R Street Institute and DrinksReform.org.

Science In Action - Nyiragongo – is Goma under threat?
A new survey of the volcano's activity suggests there may be an eruption in the next 4 to 7 years. It's a particular concern for the populations of Goma and Gisenyi, two cites between the volcano and lake Kivu. As we hear from the director of the Goma Volcano Observatory Katcho Karume, the city of Goma in particular has expanded so much that many people now live right next to fissures in the flank of the volcano through which any eruption would likely occur.
Hurricane Laura made landfall in Louisiana's main area of swamp land, missing big urban areas to either side. It was a lucky escape for many, but as hurricane historian Jill Trepanier tells us such extreme weather events do seem to be more frequent and potentially more destructive.
And wildfires ravaging California and other Western US states may have been intensified by changes to global weather systems . Climate scientist Bill Lau says those weather systems in turn have been modified by man-made climate change.
In November 2018 a Chinese scientist announced he had edited the genes of twin girls. The announcement was greeted with horror by many researchers in the field. Now a way to regulate gene editing internationally has been proposed by some of the world's leading scientific institutions. Kay Davies co-author of their report explains the plan.

CoinDesk Podcast Network - BREAKDOWN: DeFi Degens Are Crypto’s Suicide Squad
A look at the subculture and ethos driving the white-hot DeFi space, which has grown from $2 billion to $9 billion in total value locked in just two months.
This episode is sponsored by Crypto.com, Bitstamp and Nexo.io.
Today on the Brief:
- Traditional markets falter, led by tech stocks
- Bitcoin falls under $11,000 for the first time since July
- Stablecoins mint $100 million daily since mid-July
Our main discussion is about DeFi’s “degens.” NLW talks about:
- The numbers behind DeFi’s recent run-up
- What “degen” means in this context
- Why degen is, in part, a reaction to previous bitcoiner critiques of Ethereum
- Why degen is (in even bigger part) a reaction to a no-yield, artificially low interest world
