Time2 1'36''
Man-made quakes shake the earth less than natural ones do but only for areas that are 10 kilometers away from the epicentre

Time3 2'03''
A research indicates that induced quakes  have a low 'stress drop' and the reasons

Time4 1'41''
Whether unconscious racial bias exists in grant awards

Time5 2'18''
NIH studied successful applications to find ou whether interviewers can spot the languages from different races.Also, the study shows that there are different standards for male and female.
Other controlled variations

Time6 1'48''
The research of NIH was controversial :
There are flaws in the test process.
Whether the research is meaningful or has a pratical method to solve such disparity.

Obstacle: 4'21''
A new technology: put a patient's cancer into a mouse and then test the effects of medicine used on the mouse.But 9/22 patients died before the medicine reports on mice
So such a long test period is still a challenge to put this technology into use

time2
The inject well can cause quarks which shake the ground less than the naturally occurring one
So this injection well should build far away from towns.
Time3
Quarks report system , stress drop measurement to tell nature quark and injection quark
Community based information
Time4
minority scientists get less fund than white researchers
Why would that happen? A review with stripped name and racial identification to test
Time5
Bias start from a minority associated name to sex
Time6
Submissions authored by Africa America are less likely to be discussed in meeting
The way minority researchers wrote is less attractive to reviewer
Obstacle
Introduce a new technology for cancer patients: mice avatar
Move human cancer to mouse and try different therapies to see weather they work
Difficulty: 30% of the cancer can not grow on mice
A lot of patients can not wait that long to make a avatar mice

-Induced earthquake shake the ground less than natural earthquake does at same magnitude.
-Less shake means less damage
-However, we still keep population 10 kilometers away from drilling.
-eg of such damage.

3:2'50
-H's experiment" did you feel it". Participants report whatever they experience shake.
-H collected 11 induced earthquake. The result showed that intensity is low.
-H used two truck sample to explain her point.
-H explained why induced earthquake has lower intensity

4:2'44
-RN, the director of NIH showed slightly prejudice against minority when granting fund. Will other grand reviewers are also affected?
-a team will start to investigate on this issue from September. data shows that minority scientists usually receive less fund than white scientists.
-500 million was invested to train minority scientists. however, the problem is not short of less qualified scientists. The problem may be the process of granting.
-fund will grant through anonymous in order to see whether it is true that grant reviewers are bias in granting fund.

5:2'45
-faculties are less likely to respond to interviewers requests from prospective students whose name is associated with minority than students's name is associate with white race.
-whether research can spot trend in language used. MC's result shows that women include more praising words. They need to be twice as good as men in order to get the fund.
-Analyse text in sample of reviewers

6:2'30
-African Americans are less likely to be discussed in the meeting. Even thy are discussed, one person's negative comment in the commitee will have huge impact on other's decision.
-evidence of bias is harder to address.
-to solve the root problem of bias will cost around $5 million in next three years.
-we need to have a open mind. we all human. we have feeling and emotion that can not be control. (really?)

Speaker: The article uses Asthma as an example to support nose knows what the mind tells it.

Time 2:  The new research shows that Man-made quankes are less serious than natual earthquake. Some relevant reports are further illustrated about this viewpoint. (1:33)

Time 3: Hough decides to explore a USGS database to analyse the influence of induced quake. (2:24)

Time 4:  Researches investigate weather US National Institutes of Health (NIH) exists the bias to offer fund for mimority. (3:24)

Time 5: The findings of research demonstrates that the organization do exist some bias about race and women. (1:43)

Time 6:  The findings reveal the racial disparity of different applier and the reason why this happens. (1:58)

Obstable: The article introduce a new way to treat cancer patients---using mouse as avatar to try medicine, then let patients use these medicines. Moveover, the article
introduces the process of this medicine way, and results and relevant managerial implications. (3:50)

SSS:the nose knows...nose to brain to nose...researchers see whether individual's assumption influence breathing...17 smell rose 15 minutes...9 potential irritant the other...no adverse reaction

Speed:
Time2 1'39'' an research that induced shaking cause less shaking than natural shaking
Time3 1'39''two further studies about the induced shaking
Time4 2'50'' Disparity among minorities...one director unconsciously be racially biased...NIH launch a research to see whether evidences show racial bias.
Time5 2'02'' faculty members of university show bias... gender difference in funding programme... return proposal with subtle details may show bias...
Time6 1'42'' harbour bias in group meeting...causes of bias... further development of NIH and the controversy

Obstacle:4'31''
Mouse used as cancer avatars related to lumpy tumors from patients of different cancers are treated with drugs. The efficient mouse will be sent back to doctors and test the drug to patients. One company called Champon(C) sell these avatars as products,which help patients build additional confidence. However, there are challenges such as different tumors between mouse and people;different immune system. Someone who build the avatars talk about the advantages on a whole, but there are further challenges such as long time of building when some patients cannot wait so long.
