Episode: 53: Skin in the game
Pub date: 2017-11-17

Dan and James discuss whether you need to have “skin in the game” to critique research.

Here’s what else they cover in the episode:

  • Should scientists be required to communicate their science?
  • If your research is likely to be misinterpreted try and get out of in front of what’s going to be said
  • Will science communication just become another metric?
  • The distinction between “science communication” and “science media”
  • Who’s going to pay for all science communicators that we’ll need to communicate everyone’s science?
  • Dan and James mispronounce Dutch and German names and give a formal apology to the nation of The Netherlands
  • Outcome switching in clinical trials
  • Does having skin in the game guarantee expertise, or just wild biases?
  • James’ recent desk rejection from a Journal Editor
  • Dan’s method to invite manuscript reviewers as an Associate Editor
