Episode description
Ever feel like there’s something wrong with all the news and information you consume, even when you get it from professional scientists and doctors?
We tackle the reproducibility crisis in science today starting with taking a look at some mudslinging between high profile online academics Andrew Gelman and Cass Sunstein.
We also talk about the probable over-publishing of studies in stock market prediction and elsewhere, and scientists reading too much when interpreting results to fit their narrative and ideology.
