Our new episode on incentives in science is out now! We talk about the different kinds of incentives (prestige, awards, money, tenure, etc.)--when they help and how they might hurt science nulliusinverba.podbean.com/e/incentives-i/
Our Spotify Wrapped tells us that collectively you have listened a total of 181 days to our podcast - and that's just for those of you using Spotify to listen to @nulliusverbapod Thank you all so much for listening!
Thanks @lakens and @smreeteemehta! I had not read Medawar's paper. Great stuff. I have to say I teach business school students to treat their theories as systems of expectation that frame their hypotheses. (Link in next post.)
New episode on P. Medawar's paper "Is Scientific Paper a Fraud?" is out now! nulliusinverba.podbean.com/e/scientific-p…
Question for those in the majority: What are some other routes that may not be as strong as science but are still valid?

Listen to the first part if you haven't already: nulliusinverba.podbean.com/e/p-hacking-i/
Second part of the episode on p-hacking is out today! (You can blame Smriti for the delay.) We discuss accusations of p-hacking, whether p-hacking should still be considered a QRM, and how we might reduce the prevalence of p-hacking: nulliusinverba.podbean.com/e/p-hacking-ii/
@lakens three weeks and no new episodes from @nulliusverbapod is that it? the end of science as we knew it could be

New episode of Nullius In Verba, part 1 of 2: What is metascience? nulliusinverba.podbean.com/e/metascience-… We dig into the history, starting from 1938, and discuss the role of philosophy, sociology, and psychology, and what, if anything, makes metascience it's own discipline.
New episode of @nulliusverbapod on Premature Experimentation: nulliusinverba.podbean.com/e/episode-63-e… Are experiments overused, and should we make greater use of other approaches to knowledge generation? If so, which methods should we use instead? Enjoy!
In our next episode of Nullius In Verba we will dive into the history of metascience. The first mention of 'metascience' in the literature we could find is Morris, 1938. Do you know of an earlier mention of the term 'metascience'?
Interested in the latest metascience? Come to Eindhoven October 17th to listen to Dr. Duygu Uygun-Tunç (University of Chicago) and Dr. Lisa Spitzer (Leibniz-Institut für Psychologie) as keynote speakers, and Dr. Aaron Peikert for a workshop collaboration through Git! All free!
Registration is now open for the PMGS Meta-Research Symposium 2025! Abstract submissions are still welcome—deadline: July 31. Plus: join our mini-workshop on coordination using GitHub on the afternoon of October 16. Find all the details & sign up here: paulmeehlschool.github.io/2025-07-16-sym…
No new episode this week! Smriti is busy teaching an introduction to psychology course, and Daniel is relaxing in his garden with a new puppy.
New episode of @nulliusverbapod on exploratory experimentation. Why does exploratory research seem to be valued less? How can we do it well? nulliusinverba.podbean.com/e/experimenta-…
Here's a new paper of mine just out (online) in BJPS: Severe Testing: Error Statistics vs Bayes Factor Tests. journals.uchicago.edu/doi/epdf/10.10…
We are very happy that the content of our little podcast is resonating with fellow academics. Although, with more than a thousand listeners per episode, maybe we are not that little anymore 🤗
If you are a researcher in health sciences and haven't already done so, I would encourage you to give @nulliusverbapod a listen. Some very thought-provoking discussions and readings that I wish I had been exposed to much earlier in my career.
