This was is probably the war that most people have some knowledge of because of the direct impact to Pearl Harbor and the United States, but there were many other interesting dynamics at play during this World War.

Stew will walk through the relationship tensions that led to the conflict, some of the key individuals for different countries on both sides of the war, and ultimately what caused the war to end and the power dynamic in the world to shift to a new superpower.

This is the third installment of the Shape Shorts War Series. Today's episode focusses on the aftermath of World War 1 and the lead up to World War 2.

The point of this series is to provide a high level overview of the primary events and conflicts that led to the penultimate event. We hope this conversation is thought provoking and sends you on a journey of your own to learn more about these events.

If you are like most people and hate traffic jams, then the project discussed in this episode should make you jump for joy. Dr. Matt Bunting from Vanderbilt University is part of a team that is attempting to use advanced controls in vehicles to eliminate traffic jams. 

The Circles Project is a more in depth look at the driving patterns of humans and how using advanced algorithms can help overcome human driving patterns to reduce traffic jams. So far, the project has shown promise in both small scale, single lane efforts, but has also on I-24 in rush hour traffic just outside of Nashville.

Tony and Tana Jay von Isser will discuss their relationship with and the careers of their late friends, Dr. William and Janet Tifft. Tana is the Arts Representative and Multimedia Consultant for the Tifft Heritage Fund. Tana was integral in helping Janet and William archive her art beginning in 2009 to remove the burden from her family in case of her passing. 

Janet Tifft is a renowned watercolor artist and after her passing in 2015, her husband William started a foundation in her name to preserve her artwork and help support other local artists develop their own artistic expression through a grant program.

This episode is a very interesting intersection of William, a technical person by trade, expressing a deep interest and understanding in the arts and the value that it provides. William and Janet were great examples of what SHAPE Shifters is all about.
