Spero in Dialogue
7/8–7/12
Each week, we like to share links, books, movies, and content that the team found interesting. Hopefully it helps the world get to know us a little better, and maybe some interesting patterns will emerge.
Stephen Wemple
The Kidnapping I Can’t Escape (NYT)
This was not the story I thought it was going to be when I clicked the link. A beautiful, heartfelt piece on how a small number of intense moment, mostly traumatic ones, define a lot of our lives.
Andrew Parker
That Other Guy (This American Life)
Both the prologue and Act One of the “That Other Guy” This American Life episode is so funny. As ambitious people, it’s so easy to identify with this competitive feeling.
Shripriya Mahesh
Haunting the Human Genome Project: A Question of Consent (Undark Magazine)
How the Human Genome project is mostly based on one person’s data. Did they consent or know what they were consenting to? Did we learn from the Henrietta Lacks experience?
Sara Eshelman
How to Grow a White Rhino (People I (Mostly) Admire)
Love this podcast generally and exciting to see what’s possible with using pluripotent stem cells for conservation.
