Akil and Hong welcome Vice-President of Human Resources Michael Shanahan to the show. In the process of talking about HR and how the department is attempting to evolve to meet the modern demands of today's staff and faculty, the conversation veers into all sorts of asides and digressions. Just a few topics discussed: remote work, breakfast cereal, science-fiction, and the commodification of personal data.
