Blumenthal pursued Davidson about the year-old incident in which Google’s Street View cars collected data on the location of WiFi nodes and mistakenly gathered snippets of “payload data”—that is, the data traveling over open WiFi networks in the moments when their Street View cars were passing by. Some payload data may have contained personal information including passwords. Google has meekly been working with data protect...

The Cold War ended–what are we doing in Korea? Two cheers for President Obama for ending eight (well, three) tax breaks to oil companies.

But emotional intelligence — the abilities to perceive, use, understand and manage emotions — is a core component of being human. A commentary article in the most recent issue of the Journal of the American Medication Association argues that medical students and doctors-in-training could greatly benefit by more formal programs in emotional intelligence. How would this help patients? Physicians who communicate well with their patients and listen more carefully to their complaints score higher in doctor satisfaction scores, have fewer complaints filed against them, and may even help their patients’ health outcomes. Good doctor interpersonal and communication s...

It includes interviews with several leading scientists in the field. I especially enjoyed seeing Nobel Laureate Eric Kandel talk about his work with memory. (I talked about Kandel’s work on the Brain Science Podcast in Episode 3 and Episode 12.) “Mind Science” also features the Dalai Llama and scientist Richard Davidson talking about the evidence that meditation can change the brain. Rather interviews Sharon Begely about her book Train Your Mind, Change Your Brain: How a New Science Reveals Our Extraordinary Potential to Transform Ourselves (which I discussed in detail in Episode 10 of the Brain Science Podcast).
