May 03, 2021131: Long live the overhead projector!
Dan and James answer listener audio questions on indirect costs for research grants, the mind/body problem, and why many academics aren't trained to teach. They also profess their love for the overhead projector
Some more details:
Should we require universities to justify overhead costs, like heating and electricity?
Overheads can inflate the costs of grants, some grants provide an additional percentage for overheads but others don’t allow this, which can eat into grants
Get to know the people in your local grant office!
Indirect costs at MIT
A primer on indirect costs and why they are important to MIT
Does it matter that we address the mind body problem in psychology?
On the teaching of the history and philosophy of science (or lack thereof) in psychology courses
Why aren’t academics better equipped to teach?

April 19, 2021130: Normalizing retractions (with Dorothy Bishop)
Dan and James chat with Dorothy Bishop (University of Oxford) about the importance of normalizing the retraction of scientific papers, publication ethics, and whether paper mills (companies that make fake papers at scale) are an issue in the psychological sciences
Here are some links and stuff we covered:
Dorothy's thoughts on how the adoption of open science practices has been progressing since we last had her on the show in June 2018
The European Research Council's new open access journal, which is free to publish in if you're ERC funded
Dan's proposal of something similar in a 2019 The Chronicle piece (free to read with email signup)
Dorothy's recent blogpost on publication ethics
The Society for Microbiology piece behind the blogpost
Our episode with Elisabeth Bik
Image manipulation in scientific papers
Why don't publishers have agreements with authors that if they discover something dodgy in papers the author can't sue them?
Retraction notices don't easily discriminate between fraud and mistakes, and this is one reason why that authors are so reluctant to have their work retracted
James' fictional paper mill story (based on real fraud), that he wrote with Otto Kalliokoski
Are paper mills a problem in psychology?
Dorothy's Oxford photo challenge

March 15, 2021128: How do you generate new research ideas?
Dan and James chat about how they come up with new ideas, why everyone seems to be trying to monetise their hobbies, and why it's so hard for most labs to have a singular focus of research.
We had some problems with James' mic so the quality of his audio wasn't up our usual standard. To make up for this we've added one of our older bonus episodes at the end of this conventional episode (this begins at 54:18). These bonus episodes are typically only made available for our Professor Fancypants Patreon patrons, but now you'll get to hear one!

March 01, 2021127: Speak up or shut up?
We discuss when is the right time in your academic career to begin speaking up to critique your research field or whether the risk of retaliation means you should shut up and keep your head down. This was a recorded Clubhouse chat, which includes some audience interaction at the end.
Links and details:
Moin Syed's blogpost, which was the inspiration for this topic

February 15, 2021126: The division of scientific labor (with Saloni Dattani)
We have a wide-ranging chat with Saloni Dattani (Kings College London and University of Hong Kong) about the benefits of dividing scientific labor, the magazine she co-founded (Works in Progress) that shares novel ideas and stories of progress, and fighting online misinformation

February 01, 2021125: Upon reasonable request
Dan has a blue-sky proposal to increase data sharing—that funders mandate scholars to store and analyse data on their servers for which the funder decides what constitutes a reasonable data request (among other benefits)
Other stuff covered:
We return with part 2 of "overrated/underrated/appropately rated", in which James throws nouns at Dan and he responds with whether these things are overrated, underrated, or appropately rated.
Joe Hilgard's blog post
Dan' proposal that funders should require all funded researchers to store and perform their analysis on a central server, which would make it easier to share data, and then the funder could decide what "upon reasonable request" means, not the reseacher or the instution
Long term vs. short term reform efforts

January 18, 2021124: From Ptolemy to Takeshi's Castle
We discuss under which circumstances retracting decades-old articles is worth the time. We also chat about why LinkenIn is underrated (yes, really) and special journal issues are overrated.
A more specific list of topics and links:
We play a game of "overated/underated", in which Dan has a list of stuff that he asks James whether these things are overrated or underated (or appropiated rated)
Why LinkedIn is underated
Graphical abstracts are underrated
Online conferences are underrated
Authors should have the chance to wildly speculate (as long as it's marked as wild speculation)
Sourdough bread is so gorgeous that even hipsters can't ruin it
Special journal themes are overrated
Should we bother putting the energy into retracting old studies?
The retracted article that Eysenck co-authored, entitled “Coffee-Drinking and Personality as Factors in the Genesis of Cancer and Coronary Heart Disease”
THIS is Takeshi's Castle

January 04, 2021123: Authenticated anonymity (with Michael Eisen)
Part two of our chat with Michael Eisen (eLife Editor-in-Cheif), in which we discuss the pros and cons of collaborative peer review, journal submission interfaces, Michael's take on James' proposal that peer reviewers should be paid $450 dollars, why negative comments on peer reviews need to be normalised, plus much more.
Some more details:
The pros and cons of collaborative peer review (in which all peer reviewers discuss the paper after all individual peer reviews have been submitted
How technology can constrain journal operations
The strange engineered delay in paper reviews (I doesn't take 2-3 weeks to review a paper)
Michael's proposal for a system in which people can nominate they have time in the near future to review a paper and then papers can be sent to them so they're rapidly reviewed
Journal submission interfaces
Michael's take on paying peer reviewers
Who owns peer reviews?
Would negative (anonomous or not) comments on an open peer review report penalise authors in the future?
Every paper gets negative peer-review comments, this doesn't necessarily mean it's a bad paper
Michael proposes an explicit "speculation" section for papers, where authors get free reign to basically say whatever they want
