    In this #Gyandemic episode with Anirban Mahapatra (@bhalomanush on twitter) we discuss the EUAs granted to Pfizer and Moderna’s vaccines in the US and UK, the results of the unimitigated infections in Manaus and Sao Paulo, and what both those things mean in the Indian context.

    3. Ep. 25: "Psychology is a pseudo-science!" #BSDetector

      On this #BSDetector episode, Dr. Bhooshan dismantles the notion that psychology is a pseudo-science in a very methodical and scientific (ha!) manner. A must-listen for those who believe that being a psychologist is basically an excuse to charge people money for listening to their problems.
