Episode: 131: Long live the overhead projector!
Pub date: 2021-05-03

Dan and James answer listener audio questions on indirect costs for research grants, the mind/body problem, and why many academics aren’t trained to teach. They also profess their love for the overhead projector

Some more details:

  • Should we require universities to justify overhead costs, like heating and electricity?
  • Overheads can inflate the costs of grants, some grants provide an additional percentage for overheads but others don’t allow this, which can eat into grants
  • Get to know the people in your local grant office!
  • Indirect costs at MIT
  • A primer on indirect costs and why they are important to MIT
  • Does it matter that we address the mind body problem in psychology?
  • On the teaching of the history and philosophy of science (or lack thereof) in psychology courses
  • Why aren’t academics better equipped to teach?
  • The 3Blue1Brown YouTube channel
