@nulliusinverba.bsky.social This prologue episode is absolutely fascinating. As scientists we have to be able to argue the case for new ideas, and at the same time, be able to judge them dispassionately. Psychologically, this isn’t easy, even for psychologists. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/n...

New episode on Premature Experimentation: nulliusinverba.podbean.com/e/episode-63... Are experiments overused, and should we make greater use of other approaches to knowledge generation? If so, which methods should we use instead? Enjoy!

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 @nulliusinverba.bsky.social on exploratory experimentation. Why does exploratory research seem to be valued less? How can we do it well? nulliusinverba.podbean.com/e/experiment...

We are very happy that the content of our little podcast is resonating with fellow academics. Although, with more than a thousand listeners per episode, maybe we are not that little anymore 🤗

RE @nulliusinverba.bsky.social ep 59: Meehl seems to assume that research is harder than teaching; teachers should be paid less and if you can't do interesting research you're "demoted" to teaching. Why not the opposite? Why not pay teachers more and say "if you cannot teach, do"?

New episode! The 3rd and final part of our discussion of Paul Meehl's unpublished book 'The Seven Sacred Cows of Academia' nulliusinverba.podbean.com/e/seven-sacr...

Second part of @nulliusinverba.bsky.social discussing Paul Meehl's 7 sacred cows of academia. Meehl criticizes one of our favorite topics: The idea that all research professors do is worthwhile. nulliusinverba.podbean.com/e/episode-60...

If you like our theme music, Grandbrothers will be releasing a new LP that you can pre-order: shop.grandbrothersmusic.com/products

A little late, but the new episode on science communication is out now! We discuss the Carl Sagan effect, pop science books, science journalism, YouTube channels, podcasts... and coffee and sandwiches. nulliusinverba.podbean.com/e/science-co...

3/ NULLIUS IN VERBA Nullius in Verba investigates the roots of scientific ideals and practices. Why are some things called "scientific" and who decided that? (And a lot of Bacon quotes.) nulliusinverba.podbean.com

The book that they discuss on the Nullius in verba podcast suggested in my googledoc is focussed on 8 steps to develop and test theories - these steps could perhaps be utilised to develop a theory of impact? Dubin 1969 Theory Building

3. What does it mean to build a theory? Nullius in verba episode 29: nulliusinverba.podbean.com/e/theory-bui....

New episode of @nulliusinverba.bsky.social ! 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/episode-56...

My PhD student @adigitaltanay.bsky.social released an episode of his podcast Cognitations interviewing ... me. One of the toughest interviewers I've had! You can listen to it here: open.spotify.com/episode/6L7q... He will feature some other team members next, so do give the podcast a follow 🤳

I often say 'this episode is one of our best ones'. But our discussion on the ways in which psychology mirrors a pseudoscience, and how we can learn from pseudosciences such as parapsychology which tricks psychologists will use now they can not get away with p-hacking is really good.

New episode on Pseudoscience www.podbean.com/ew/pb-yggka-... 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.

Thanks @colinhales.bsky.social for these kind words, we hope our little podcast is educational about what science is, and what it could be.

It's not pseudoscience. In the spectrum of science disorders it is formally a cargo-cult science. All of it, not just IIT. I can be more technically specific ... But you work it out! We should all be all over this glaring mess. This podcast will clarify: nulliusinverba.podbean.com/e/scientia-c...

Part two...

New episode, the first of two, on scientific fraud: nulliusinverba.podbean.com/e/episode-52...

Do you know the @nulliusinverba.bsky.social podcast? They talk about science and philosophy (amongst other things)

I enjoyed listening to all episodes of this podcast - I'm looking forward to the new episode!

Our 50th episode is up! We discuss listeners questions. There were so many, we will continue in episode 51. This week: Is it important to have a philosophy of science? Are they beliefs, or can we justify them? And we discuss critical realist approaches to qualitative science. Enjoy!

New episode of @nulliusinverba.bsky.social! We join our friends of More of a Comment to discuss if social psychological science has value, why people choose non-academic careers, and how to organize psychological science to generate more useful knowledge nulliusinverba.podbean.com/e/niv-moactaq/

"we actually make people know less, we actually make people less accurate in their understanding of the world when we teach them about things like implicit bias and stereotype threat and all this kind of stuff"

New episode of @nulliusinverba.bsky.social I read a classic 'quit-lit' piece. Cialdini explains he is quitting his university job because social psychologists no longer appreciate field studies and ignore the value of their research for the general public. nulliusinverba.podbean.com/e/prologus-4...

We have gotten some great audio questions submitted for our 50th podcast recording. If you want to ask us anything about what science is, or what it could be, send it in before this Sunday!

New episode on Failure! What should be considered a failure in science, and how can we more honestly deal with the reality that failures happen? nulliusinverba.podbean.com/e/episode-48...

We recorded a joint podcast episode with our friends at More of A Comment than A Question about the usefulness of social psychology, when academic research has value, and how we can change academia to make research more valuable. It is very good 😁 and out in 2 weeks.

This podcast is brilliant .... well I can't prove the truth of this statement in the limit but the probability that its true is overwhelming ;)

We discuss the history of the replication crisis here: nulliusinverba.podbean.com/e/new-replic... And in the next episode we discuss the striking similarities with the crisis from the 1960-1970s

If you haven't listened to our latest episode on induction, deduction, and the generlizability crisis, give it a listen: nulliusinverba.podbean.com/e/induction-... It is one of our best ones yet.

I must say I was not aware of most of these concepts until I listened this amazing podcast @nulliusinverba.bsky.social by Daniel Lakens and Smriti Mehta, which I need to acknowledge on this post open.spotify.com/episode/1dPz...

Thanks to everyone who has been listening to @nulliusinverba.bsky.social ! We are glad you are enjoying the podcast! Next month we will release our 50th episode, in which we will answer listener questions. Send them to nulliusinverbapod at gmail (in audio if you can!).

New episode of Nullius In Verba on induction and the generalizability crisis. This might be one of our best episodes so far! Can we create generalizable scientific knowledge through induction? How would it work (or why would it not work) in practice? nulliusinverba.podbean.com/e/induction-...

New episode on apprenticeship! nulliusinverba.podbean.com/e/apprentice... How well does the way we train graduate students work? What can we do to improve the modeling of skills that are to be taught during graduate training? Enjoy!

Our first live podcast recording made at the Open Science Community Sweden Conference 2024 is now out: nulliusinverba.podbean.com/e/episode-44/ We discuss criticisms on Open Science: What are they getting right, and what are they getting wrong?

Tomorrow a new @nulliusinverba.bsky.social prologue episode: Skinner on A Case Study in Scientific Method. Do you know we have so far read 14 classics from Feynman, Bernal, Schwartz, Dennet, Medawar, Barber, Maslow, Nisbett, Peirce, Forscher, & Meehl? E.g. nulliusinverba.podbean.com/e/cargo-cult...

Listening to the new episode of @nulliusinverba.bsky.social about societies, and really want to know how would one ask government for more money to replace journal revenues. Because this is how I see this convo going: #AcademicSky

New episode on Theory Building, where we discuss Dubin's classic 1969 book. It takes us a while to go through all 8 steps, so this will be another 2-parter! nulliusinverba.podbean.com/e/theory-bui...

With what feels like a keynote, but then every talk so far has... #preregistration As such let me use this opportunity to direct you to the last two episodes of @nulliusinverba.bsky.social podcast, which cover a lot of this ground.
