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

- The Social Goals of Excuses: Self‐Serving Attributions or Politeness Strategies by Fraser, C. O.

- Seasonality of diarrheagenic Escherichia coli pathotypes in the US students acquiring diarrhea in Mexico

by aredes‐Paredes, M., Okhuysen, P. C., Flores, J., Mohamed, J. A., Padda, R. S., Gonzalez‐Estrada, A., ... & DuPont, H. L.

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