Episode 88: Sports, Sex, and Shady Science

Psychosocial Distancing

Episode 88 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.

Lots of warnings for this episode. Part 1 ends around the 30 minute mark, then we discuss some less savory research.

In this episode we get back to Retraction Watch! Our dive into the world of retractions and unethical behaviors in science. This episode Thomas brings some spicy takes on Zoophile research and Daniel discusses the wild accusations against a concussion researcher in Exercise Sport Sciences.
