Episode 30 \u2013 What are we doing? AKA the golden pancake\n\nWe are starting a new 8 part series following the structure of Amy\u2019s \u201cPsychology as a Robust Science\u201d course (https://www.amyorben.com/docs/syllabus.pdf). We will take a specific aspect from each week and dive into the detail. \nThis week: Introductions and Merton\u2019s norms, what is Science? We discuss each of Mertons norms in turn; communalism, universalism, disinterestedness, and organised scepticism. \n\nUseful resources:\nMerton, Robert K. \u2018The Normative Structure of Science\u2019, 1942.\nhttps://www.panarchy.org/merton/science.html. \nthis YouTube video for explanation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00btFojQPiU&list=PLAKyhL4GNnqMVIdZDvSt3bqlHFJVRNOsF&index=2) \nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00btFojQPiU\nhttps://journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.1177/053901847601500406
