This week we open with a critical take on our current system of disseminating scientific research, specifically focusing on the prevalence of -- and dependence on -- medical writers. In the second half of the episode, we interview Dr. Allen Pannell of the Haslam College of Business at the University of Tennessee on using a Frequentist approach vs a Bayesian approach in the context of a single clinical trial.
