In this episode of Academia Lite, Sean and Zak get into two thought-provoking papers:

- Planking or the “Lying-Down Game:” Two Case Reports

by Barbieri, S., Feltracco, P., Omizzolo, L., Snenghi, R., El Mazloum, R., Vettore, G., ... & Avato, F. M

- Superstitious beliefs and problem gambling among Thai lottery gamblers: The mediation effects of number search and gambling intensity

by Pravichai, S., & Ariyabuddhiphongs, V

Examining the irregular, the surprising and the downright funny of each paper, there is something for the academic in all of us.
