Notas del Episodio:

• La sección especial de la revista El Analista Conductual (The Behavior Analyst; actualmente nombrado Perspectivas sobre la Ciencia Conductual [Perspectives on Behavior Science]) titulada “Mujeres Prominentes en el Análisis de la Conducta” (“Prominent Women in Behavior Analysis”), donde siete mujeres prominentes en el AC fueron elegidas y entrevistadas sobre su entrenamiento y sus recomendaciones.

In Episode 72, Ben chats with Kristen Bottema-Beutel, Ph.D.  Much of Kristen's research is in the area of research ethics and quality. She and her team have analyzed countless autism intervention studies including many in applied behaviour analysis and has found some startling results. ABA research is especially problematic when it comes to a lack of randomization, failure to report conflicts of interest, and very little data on adverse events. This episode will change how you read and interpret research.

In Episode 67, Ben chats with Drs. Nasiah Cirincione-Ulezi and Jonathan Tarbox. This conversation digs deep into humility, compassion, and reflection. They apply these concepts to imposter syndrome, empathy, kindness, service, and more.  

Host Note: This was by far one of the most personally impactful interviews I've done.  I have so much gratitude for Dr. Cirincione-Ulezi's mentorship. She has taught me so much about recognizing and acknowledging my own biases (and do I ever have A LOT of biases) and most of all she taught me the true value of sitting with my discomfort. Similarly, Dr. Tarbox has been such a model for me. He has shown me over and over again how someone with so much power and privilege in our field can use that power to be of service to others and uplift voices. SO MUCH GRATITUDE!
