In this episode, we discuss the role of apprenticeship in training scientists and researchers. What’s the difference between traditional apprenticeship and cognitive apprenticeship? Does graduate training live up to its promise as an apprenticeship model? What can we do to improve the modeling of skills that are to be taught during graduate training?

In today’s episode, we discuss the classic 1959 Rede Lecture by scientist and novelist C. P. Snow. We reflect on whether there is still a divide between the humanities and the sciences, how important it is to be educated in both, whether the humanities and the sciences care just as much about the truth, whether scientists need to know Shakespeare, and what the second law of thermodynamics is about. Enjoy!
In this two-part episode, we examine scientific codes of conduct, using the Netherlands Code of Conduct for Research Integrity as our primary example. We discuss why such codes are necessary, where their guiding principles come from, and how (and whether) they are enforced. We also discuss many of the standards of good research practice derived from said principles.

In this episode, we will reflect on how governments should support science, from the 1945 policy report Science: The Endless Frontier by Vannevar Bush, and then move on to the recent policy document by the Trump Administration 'Science: A New Golden Age'. We reflect on what we like about the policy report and what we like less. Is the linear model from basic research to application indeed outdated? Are metascience units a good idea? And will AI accelerate and radically transform how we do science? Enjoy. Shownotes:
In this episode, we will discuss multiverse analysis–what it is, why we use it, and how we should use it. We also discuss many analyst projects, and Daniel's new preprint on multiverse analysis.
