EP 035 Stephen Buranyi on Science Culture, Bad Data and Scientific Publishing

Published: July 27, 2017, 6:33 p.m.

Stephen Buranyi writes about science and the socioeconomic structure of the scientific research system in place today. We talk about the joys and sorrows of being a scientist who has escaped the academy, how to pitch ideas for articles for general audience news publications, intentional and unintentional bad data, and the incentive structures surrounding scientific publication.
\nMy apologies for the delay effect on Stephen’s end of the conversation. I like to think that it’s because we were using Mr. Bell’s original transatlantic cable.
