Another BP Podcast is up. You can listen on Libsyn, Apple, Spotify, and Stitcher. Probably the easiest way to keep up the podcast since we don’t have a regular schedule is to subscribe at one of the links above.
You can also support the podcast as a patron (the primary benefit now is that you get the podcasts considerably earlier than everyone else…this podcast was posted a week ago).
If there is one person who combines keen attention to scientific methodology and toxic masculinity, it’s Jordan Anaya, a “data thug.”
A brutal realist who helped destroy the career of Brian Wansink, Anaya revels in is status as a one-man Occam’s Razor.

Dude dropped out of a MD/PhD (which are super-competitive) program in presumably the 6th year (out of 8-9), if he was doing his dissertation. Whatever else can be said about him, he’s a man of conviction and courage.
Shame he didn’t stay in medicine though. We could use more iconoclastic minds like his.
