  • I would appreciate more information about what needs to be done and less mutual admiration. Both participants are doing interesting work . I'd like to hear about that.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

In Conversation with Dariush Mozaffarian, M.D.
Q: What sparked your interest in nutrition as a physician?
I realized during training that nutrition was the biggest issue affecting patients' health, and my studying showed the science wasn't being translated into practice, which motivated me to pursue public health and to work on system-level changes.
CLIMATE ONE: Protest and Beyond: Annie Leonard On What You Can Do
Q: What did you learn about coalition building from Harvard's fossil fuel divestment campaign?
Coalition-building requires broad participation, including faculty, alumni, and labor unions; you need everyone on board beyond just students, because change hinges on diverse and sustained political pressure across multiple actors.
Steve Phillips: Are White Men Smarter Than Everybody Else?
Q: What is the logic behind the swamp metaphor and the swamp audits?
Steve describes the shift from focusing on underrepresentation to overrepresentation of white men, and how swamp audits are designed to illuminate where power is disproportionately allocated and to mobilize public discourse and policy change.
Steve Phillips: Are White Men Smarter Than Everybody Else?
Q: So can you first tell us what you originally wanted to title the book?
Steve explains the genesis of the provocative title, the intent to force people to confront inequality, and how the title frames the book's argument about systemic advantage rather than individual merit.
Italianity Program and Wine Tasting
Q: Jessica, what does Italianity mean to you?
Italianity to me is the state of Italianness expressed through wine, culture, and lifestyle; it's a DNA-like essence that connects regions, people, and flavors across Italy, not just a collection of grape varieties.
