Listen Later

In this episode we talk about how to avoid confirmation bias through use of multiple working hypotheses, the recent winners of the Nobel Prizes in Physics & Chemistry, and also some of the fantastic Ig Nobel Prize winners.

Note: Tony’s audio is a little sketchy at first, but improves after about 15 min, so keep listening! We’re still getting the hang of this...
