Curiosity and Conversation

In this episode of our podcast, Stanford MS&E: Stories & Voices (available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts), Shreyas Lakhtakia shares how his intellectual curiosity, love for getting to know people, and multicultural background led him to not just explore interdisciplinary academic work at the intersection of AI, health and society, but also create the Beagle Cafe, a salon for ideas and stories. Based out of his Stanford dorm room, the conversation project brought together hundreds of students from across campus in small groups for some of the most meaningful conversations of their lives, and Shreyas was recognized with a Community Impact Award for his efforts.
