Thinking fast and flow A. I. Research Labs

I prepare to present my PhD as well as learning about climate change as the theme of the conference. I outline a post doc proposal I have been working on as well

I managed to convince Dr. Conor Heffernan to talk to me after just emailing once with the explanation that this podcast involves hardcore working out while discussing research. His work and ability to communicate in audio is something that inspired me to reach out in the first place. Conor specialises in the history of physical culture even though through the conversation and my ability to ask statements rather than question I manage to see the multiple academic and practical influences on his mental palimpsest

I talk about doing the Iron man triathlon over a week and the Inal chapter of the PhD about Rationality and Intuition

Final preparations before our no tech triathlon, doing a 4km swim, 180miles cycle and 42 km run up Snowden. A huge debate over strategies on how to pace ourselves

l talk to Paul Burgum who inspired me at the Royal Geographical Society hosted Explore conference. His PhD research at Durham University looks at themes close to my heart such as resilience and self-determination I am so grateful he played along and went on the run while we recorded. We talked broadly but also covered key data from his research on Reduced mood variability is associated with enhanced performance during ultrarunnning

A brief note to reflect on what phenomenological study can be helpful for - finding out what a thing is about even if there is so many variations of the thing. Treat with caution as you might bring your expectations to this and assume I am suggesting phenomenological study doesn't have its limitations and inappropriate use when more precise methods are needed
