Analysis Multiversi is out now: nulliusinverba.podbean.com/e…
What is the epistemic goal of multiverse analysis? Should we incorporate the uncertainty in many analyst approaches into our statistical inferences? (😬)? Is the variability mainly due to low effort of non-experts?

Thanks @lakens and @smreeteemehta! I had not read Medawar's paper. Great stuff. I have to say I teach business school students to treat their theories as systems of expectation that frame their hypotheses. (Link in next post.)
New episode on P. Medawar's paper "Is Scientific Paper a Fraud?" is out now!

New episode of Nullius In Verba, part 1 of 2: What is metascience? nulliusinverba.podbean.com/e…
We dig into the history, starting from 1938, and discuss the role of philosophy, sociology, and psychology, and what, if anything, makes metascience it's own discipline.

New episode of @nulliusverbapod on Premature Experimentation: nulliusinverba.podbean.com/e… Are experiments overused, and should we make greater use of other approaches to knowledge generation? If so, which methods should we use instead? Enjoy!

In our next episode of Nullius In Verba we will dive into the history of metascience. The first mention of 'metascience' in the literature we could find is Morris, 1938. Do you know of an earlier mention of the term 'metascience'?

No new episode this week! Smriti is busy teaching an introduction to psychology course, and Daniel is relaxing in his garden with a new puppy.

New episode of @nulliusverbapod on exploratory experimentation. Why does exploratory research seem to be valued less? How can we do it well? nulliusinverba.podbean.com/e…

If you are a researcher in health sciences and haven't already done so, I would encourage you to give @nulliusverbapod a listen. Some very thought-provoking discussions and readings that I wish I had been exposed to much earlier in my career.
Our podcast @nulliusverbapod consists of 60+ episode on what science is, and what it could be. Smriti and I are passionate about learning, so we read out classic papers and chapters in our separate 'Prologue' episodes. We have 17 so far. Here's a list of all these episodes:

New episode of @nulliusverbapod ! We (very) critically discuss the classic paper by John Ioannidis 'Why most published research findings are false'. What did he get wrong, and why is it still interesting to read the paper? nulliusinverba.podbean.com/e…

New episode of @nulliusverbapod on Pseudoscience podbean.com/ew/pb-yggka-1858… We discuss the demarcation problem, why we should not ignore Pseudoscience but teach students why it is so bad, and complain about the too popular Telepathy Tapes.
