Dan and James discuss the concept of "slow science", which has been proposed in order to improve the quality of scientific research and create a more sustainable work environment.

Here's what they cover in this episode

  • Thank you patrons day!
  • Social media algorithms reward outrage, not quality of substance
  • A paper on slow science from Uta Frith, which includes a proposal of publication limits
  • Is information overload really a problem?
  • The META platform for a weekly research digest
  • Would reducing the volume of publications really improve quality?
  • The working paper that simulated the quality vs. quantity question
  • The slow professor book https://utorontopress.com/ca/the-slow-professor-3
  • Michael Frank’s paper on N-best evaluation
