Episode 80: an Ig Nobel and Tonic

Psychosocial Distancing

Episode 80 of our book read/podcast covering major topics in various fields of psychology moves us into RESEARCH METHODS! New open-source book and a split semester, with Interviews and discussions on as many types of research types as we can fit in, along with every other episode as PSD with a Twist! (It’s a cocktail pun!).
In this episode we reflect on our talk with Marc Abrahams, founder and master of ceremonies of the Ig Nobel Prize and editor of the Annals of Improbable Research and go through some retractions and favorite studies in the Annals of Improbable Research and what the next steps might be.
