Podcast: Everything Hertz (LS 42 · TOP 2% what is this?)
Episode: 123: Authenticated anonymity (with Michael Eisen)
Pub date: 2021-01-04

Part two of our chat with Michael Eisen (eLife Editor-in-Cheif), in which we discuss the pros and cons of collaborative peer review, journal submission interfaces, Michael’s take on James’ proposal that peer reviewers should be paid $450 dollars, why negative comments on peer reviews need to be normalised, plus much more.

Some more details:

• The pros and cons of collaborative peer review (in which all peer reviewers discuss the paper after all individual peer reviews have been submitted
• How technology can constrain journal operations
• The strange engineered delay in paper reviews (I doesn’t take 2-3 weeks to review a paper)
• Michael’s proposal for a system in which people can nominate they have time in the near future to review a paper and then papers can be sent to them so they’re rapidly reviewed
• Journal submission interfaces
• Michael’s take on paying peer reviewers
• Who owns peer reviews?
• Would negative (anonomous or not) comments on an open peer review report penalise authors in the future?
• Every paper gets negative peer-review comments, this doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a bad paper
• Michael proposes an explicit “speculation” section for papers, where authors get free reign to basically say whatever they want

Episode: Stories of COVID-19: Love, Part 2
Pub date: 2021-02-01

In Part 2 of this episode, we’re sharing two more stories about the powerful love that has sustained us throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. As always, find transcripts and photos from these stories on our website.

First, we’ll hear from journalist and Story Collider senior producer Misha Gajewski. In her story, Misha takes her father to his chemo appointment early in the pandemic, and reckons with their shifting roles.

And then, the final story of this Stories of COVID-19 series, from infectious disease researcher Youssef Saklawi! When Youssef’s research team launches a COVID-19 study, he becomes immersed in his work — and begins to feel attached to the patients he sees only through glass.

We hope you enjoyed our first Stories of COVID-19 series! Over the next few months, we’ll be airing biweekly bonus episodes featuring stories on other topics, but we’re hard at work on our next Stories of COVID-19 series. If you would like to pitch a story for inclusion, see our Submissions page.

In his story, Gastor is forced to confront his health issues when he almost dies from undiagnosed diabetes at the start of the pandemic. Find photos and transcripts from all of our stories on our website.

After Gastor’s story, our host speaks with Mati Hlatshwayo Davis, who told a story in our Decisions episode.

Podcast: The Weekly Regression
Episode: Ep09 – Ethical AI by Design with Dr. Larry Medsker
Pub date: 2021-04-07

In this episode, we are joined by Larry Medsker, a Professor at The George Washington University and the founder/co-editor in chief of the AI and Ethics journal.

Larry talks about the importance of ethics in Machine Learning and Data Science. He outlines the novel idea of “Ethics by Design”, where ethics is considered at the same time the AI system is under construction. Additionally, we discuss the role that government agencies play in industry and whether there should be stricter controls on how AI systems are built, trained, and deployed.
