Fine Line Between Collaboration And Exploitation
Butts In the Seats: There was an interesting article in The Atlantic this past July about how the Navy was working on crewing ships with a few generalists who would handle many jobs rather than many experts focusing on a narrower range of functions.

Yang was hilarious but his appearance shown a spotlight on the lack of diversity in the cast.
