The Intelligence from The Economist - Trial ensnarer: human-rights law’s new tool
War criminals and their ilk often evade justice solely because of squabbling over who can be tried where. But a rise in “universal jurisdiction” trials is tightening the net. Recent lockdowns’ hits to global economies are not nearly as deep as they were the first time around; we explore why. And Cambodian rat-catchers reckon with boom and bust.

NBN Book of the Day - Rob DeSalle, “A Natural History of Color: The Science Behind What We See and How We See it” (Pegasus Books, 2020)
Is color a phenomenon of science or a thing of art? Over the years, color has dazzled, enhanced, and clarified the world we see, embraced through the experimental palettes of painting, the advent of the color photograph, Technicolor pictures, color printing, on and on, a vivid and vibrant celebrated continuum. These turns to represent reality in “living color” echo our evolutionary reliance on and indeed privileging of color as a complex and vital form of consumption, classification, and creation. It’s everywhere we look, yet do we really know much of anything about it?
Finding color in stars and light, examining the system of classification that determines survival through natural selection, studying the arrival of color in our universe and as a fulcrum for philosophy, DeSalle’s brilliant A Natural History of Color: The Science Behind What We See and How We See it (Pegasus Books, 2020)establishes that an understanding of color on many different levels is at the heart of learning about nature, neurobiology, individualism, even a philosophy of existence. Color and a fine tuned understanding of it is vital to understanding ourselves and our consciousness.
Galina Limorenko is a doctoral candidate in Neuroscience with a focus on biochemistry and molecular biology of neurodegenerative diseases at EPFL in Switzerland. To discuss and propose the book for an interview you can reach her at galina.limorenko@epfl.ch.

Short Wave - Should Black People Get Race Adjustments In Kidney Medicine?
As the U.S. continues to grapple with systemic racism, some in the medical community are questioning whether the diagnostic tools they use may be contributing to racial health disparities.
As NPR science correspondent Maria Godoy reports, that debate is playing out prominently in the world of kidney medicine — specifically, in the use of estimated glomerular filtration rate, or eGFR. The diagnostic formula most commonly used to assess the health of patients with chronic kidney disease may be unintentionally contributing to poor outcomes — and reinforcing racist thinking.

Security Unlocked - Tracking Nation State Actors
Watchdogs in tow, hosts Nic Fillingham and Natalia Godyla are joined by guest Randy Treit, Principal Security Leader at Microsoft, to examine the process of identifying the source of a threat and stopping the spread by protecting “patient zero.” Randy has a few key tricks up his sleeve as a defender, but you can decide if they’re more impressive than the antics he and his identical twin have pulled while working at Microsoft.
In the second segment, Jeremy Dallman, Principal Program Manager at Microsoft, discusses why some bad actors are known in the security world under some of the most seemingly harmless codenames, such as “Fancy Bear” and “Charming Kitten”, and highlights the techniques his team is using to protect Microsoft’s customers from Nation-State actors.
In This Episode, You Will Learn:
- How Microsoft is defending and protecting patient zero
- The history of Defender and antimalware
- The process of finding gaps in protections
- The importance of protecting customers from Nation-State actors
- How and why security vendors use codenames to refer to threat activity groups
Some Questions We Ask:
- What is different about focusing on patient zero than other aspects of security?
- How does Microsoft measure the false positive rate in protecting patient zero?
- What tools are being used on a day-to-day basis in defender security?
- Why does Microsoft partner with the industry to identify Nation-State actors?
- How many groups are utilizing AI and ML to enhance their ability to become a threat?
