Science is a Strong Link Problem - Dr. Adam Mastroianni, Experimental History - DS 182

Dr. Adam Mastroianni is a Harvard and Oxford educated
psychologist who loves the idea of science, but not so much it's
modern practice. After being told one too many times that his
academic writing was "too fun" for academic journals, he decided
to devote his time to what science should actually look like -
which is passionate people being free to explore the ideas that
keep them up at night. He writes prolifically about this at his
Experimental History Substack, and on the podcast we talk about
how peer review made everything fall apart, how all the bad
papers in the world can't take down a single good idea, and the
dream of buying a house in Boston and filling it with people who
can spend all their free time thinking their way out of the box
we're in. Adam's writings:

studying bioelectricity at Columbia University. When not talking
to brilliant people or making movies, she spends her time
painting, reading, and guiding backcountry excursions. Shilo also
did his PhD at Columbia studying the elastic properties of
molecular water. When he's not in the film studio, he's exploring
sound in music. They are both freelance professors at various
universities. - Blog: http://DemystifySci.com/blog - RSS:
