in this episode i continue discussing some problems in the open science movement. i focus on populist podcasters and the promotion of simplistic heuristics that some scientists argue will improve science. i argue that none of the heuristics will make much difference on their own, & often miss their target. i say 'fucking' about five times. the audio, especially the first 20 minutes, is a bit 'noisy', sorry (ironic, eh?). keywords: openscience reform critique commentary. details, sources and full transcript at the error bar [https://theerrorbar.com?e=40]…

There's no brain news this month, but i take this unique opportunity to provide the first of my three part critique of - some parts of - the Open Science movement. This episode focusses on p-circling & reverse p-hacking. These two pejorative terms describe situations where scientists who *don't like* a particular reported effect, then decide to search for things in the paper which can 'un-explain' it. The reverse p-hacker turns a significant effect into a non-significant, or un-interesting one. These reverse p-hackers selectively adjust their version of data analysis (or interpretation) to *remove* significant p-values. it's the same thing as p-hacking. but backwards. & equally wrong.…

my name's nick holmes and THIS is the error bar: a podcast about brain science & statistics that's nothing like any other podcast about brain science & statistics. this month's episode reveals the final truth about why men's and women's brains are so very similar or different, and I alog (it's like a blog, but its auditory) about why the problem of sample size in a research study is never really actually a problem at all. at least on its own. it's contextual. right?…
