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

- Natural waste: canine companions and the lure of inattentively pooping in public: by Gross, M.

- What is in a nickname? Nicknames and identity in the 2010 Football World Cup in South Africa by Awad, E.

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