Read the full transcript here. How much should we actually trust science? Are registered reports more trustworthy than meta-analyses? How does "inspired" science differ from "open" science? Open science practices may make research more defensible, but do they make it more likely to find truth? Do thresholds (like p &lt; 0.05) represent a kind of black-and-white thinking, since they often come to represent a binary like "yes, this effect is significant" or "no, this effect is not significant"? What is "importance laundering"? Is generalizability more important than replicability? Should retribution be part of our justice system? Are we asking too much of the US Supreme Court?

Episode 28: Better Advice (with Alexa Tullett)

I had such a great conversation with Alexa Tullett, Assistant Professor of Psychology at The University of Alabama. We talked about how important it is to be open minded and how we need to be more accepting of other peoples views. We also talk about how hard that can be with some of our natural bias and with the way we interact with technology today.  Thanks for listening.
