joining me now to discuss this further is seattle university law lecturer steven tapia.that has rumbled on for many years about whetherjoel whether glyphosate causes cancer, how has this case come to a relatively speedy conclusion? that's a great question. i don't know if there is for either party to up the process. litigation has its own path and if monsanto decide they want to appeal to the last appeal, this may take years before the plaintiff sees any kind of funds or relief. and the amount of funds or relief. and the amount of damages seems huge, $290 million, almost? california has a very strong tradition of product liability verdict that are extremely large and this is an example of whatjury is in california do. american product liability law is different from state to state. certain states like 0klahoma have restricted by way of statute the amount of damages that can be granted. while this is a significant amount of money in california, between the fact that m o nsa nto california, between the fact that monsanto has 49 otherjurisdictions in america alone in which

moderator: i would be remiss if i did not mention the previous questioner from seattle university who gave an amazing paper last night about a lot of the things we have been talking about, analyzing facebook posts that have been taken down as hate speech and the inconsistencies and challenges of applying hate speech rules of facebook to what content is being removed. one of the most alarming findings from her paper and presentation was just how much really hateful speech there is on facebook and the struggles to howrmine what is used, things are personal attacks against individuals in really hateful terms still being left out. i hope that paper gets published. it is an example of great research at this conference of our colleagues are doing. it is so relative to a lot of the stuff we have been talking about. we have time for just one more question. >> [indiscernible] but itr of government, seems that our jurisprudence in the united states has become agnostic to issues of power with respect to speakers. so whether it is a speaker that is a bot spreading disinformation -- disinformation

her car, a gray jetta, had been found abandoned in a parking lot in seattle's university district. forensic technicians hungry for clues crawled through the car. they noticed the driver's seat had been pushed back, but it's what they didn't find inside it that intrigued investigators most. >> what was found in the car was david's dna, along with nicole's dna. there is no indication that anyone else had been behind the wheel of nicole's car. >> detectives were now wondering. wondering about the husband. >> coming up. he was definitely a player. >> dave chased women inside the club, outside the club, on side of the club, on top of the club. >> but did that make him a killer? all your worst symptoms, including nasal congestion, which most pills don't. and all from a gentle mist you can barely feel. flonase sensimist. you can barely feel. ♪ happiness is powerful flea and tick protection from nexgard. a delicious chew that protects for an entire month. ask your vet for more information. reported side effects include vomiting and itching. nexgard. the vet's #1 choice. but it's tough to g

the university of seattle, washington turns away 3/4 of the students trying to get into computer sciencenot based on their gender, but it's based on grades. which, you know, i think everybody should have a chance to learn. the university system really needs to recognize, that if you cannot teach them the most important subject that students want to learn, then the university system either needs to change, or students will go to learn some other way. this is a really, really big program for our country, and it is a problem which -- i know that code.org is in some ways 25 million students exacerbating the problem, because you are bringing interested in this problem. the university faces a problem that is only going to get worse. and they need to absolutely adapt to that demand. emily: my concern is that will hurt women again. because, if you are filtering students based on their experience and their grades, when traditionally, boys have had more experience -- >> not necessarily, it could. carnegie mellon has a similar situation, where there are so many spots or computer science. you can't
