Redshift with Ariel DavidIn This House, Science Is Real With Brian NosekBrian Nosek, a pioneering psychologist and professor at the University of Virginia, shook the scientific establishment in 2015 when his Reproducibility Project revealed that only 36% of published psychology studies could be successfully replicated—exposing a crisis at the heart of scientific research.As co-founder of the Center for Open Science, Nosek has built an organization dedicated to increasing transparency and accountability in scientific practice. His work challenges the academic incentive structure that rewards publishing novel, positive results over methodological rigor and accurate findings, pushing researchers to focus on career advancement rather than discovering truth.WHAT WE DI...

The Ongoing TransformationOpen Science: Moving from Possible to Expected to RequiredA decade ago, University of Virginia psychology professor Brian Nosek cofounded an unusual nonprofit, the Center for Open Science. It’s been a cheerleader, enabler, and nagger to convince scientists that making their methods, data, and papers available to others makes for better science.
The Center for Open Science has built tools to register analysis plans and hypotheses before data are collected. It campaigns for authors and journals to state explicitly whether and where data and other research materials are available. Gradually, practices that were considered fringe are becoming mainstream.

Dialogues with Richard ReevesJoseph Henrich on how religion changed sex, families and cultureWhat made some societies so individualistic, so democratic, and so rich? The short version of Joe Henrich’s answer is: religion. By undermining kin-based networks, universalizing religions (especially Western Christianity) prompted the “big innovation” of impersonal trust, altered the Western brain and laid the foundations for free markets, geographical mobility and democratic institutions. In other words, some people became WEIRD (Western, educated, industrialized, rich, democratic). We discuss how the concept of coevolution helps to get us past the tired nature v. nurture distinction, the role of culture in shaping our biology, how polygamy causes a “math problem of surplus men”, th...

Brian Nosek, PhD, of the Center for Open Science, discusses how psychologists are leading a movement to address that problem, in psychology and in other scientific fields, by changing the way that research studies get funded, conducted and published.

The Escaped Sapiens PodcastBrian Nosek: Is science in (reproducibility) crisis? | Escaped Sapiens Podcast #12Brian Nosek discusses the reproducibility project, a crowdsourced collaboration of 270 authors, which attempted to repeat 100 published experimental and correlational psychological studies. When the results of the study were released in 2015 it was a shock to the scientific world: only 36% of the studies replicated, and of those that replicated, many of their results were smaller than those in the original papers. So is there only a problem in psychology or does it go much further?

Philosophy Talk Starters434: Cognitive BiasMore at www.philosophytalk.org/shows/cognitive-bias.
Aristotle thought that rationality was the faculty that distinguished humans from other animals. However, psychological research shows that our judgments are plagued by systematic, irrational, unconscious errors known as ‘cognitive biases.’ In light of this research, can we really be confident in the superiority of human rationality? How much should we trust our own judgments when we are aware of our susceptibility to bias and error? And does our awareness of these biases obligate us to counter them? John and Ken shed their biases with Brian Nosek from the University of Virginia, co-Founder and...

Brian earned his PhD at Yale University way back in 2002, only about a year before I first met him here, when I was just a jittery job candidate.

Circle of WillisPreview: Brian NosekHi Everyone!My conversation with BRIAN NOSEK is coming soon, but it isn't quite ready yet. In this preview we talk about how despite being the most successful endeavor in human history, science can be improved upon, not least through changing how we evaluate the success of individual scientists. Our current incentives might be encouraging us to make scientific “beauty out of mush.” This conversation is priceless. More soon!Jim

The Black GoatDon't Be Told What You Want, Don't Be Told What You NeedWhat if there were no journals? Would academic life be barren and empty, noisy and chaotic, happy and egalitarian, or something else entirely? In this episode we conduct an extended thought experiment about life without journals, in order to probe questions about what journals actually do for us anyway, what are other ways to achieve those things, and how we might overcome the downsides of the current scientific publishing ecosystem. How else could peer review work? How would researchers find information and know what to read? Would we just replace our current heuristics and biases with new ones? Plus...

AnalysisThe Replication CrisisMany key findings in psychological research are under question, as the results of some of its most well-known experiments – such as the marshmallow effect, ego depletion, stereotype threat and the Zimbardo Stanford Prison Experiment – have proved difficult or impossible to reproduce. This has affected numerous careers and led to bitter recriminations in the academic community. So can the insights of academic psychology be trusted and what are the implications for us all? Featuring contributions from John Bargh, Susan Fiske, John Ioannidis, Brian Nosek, Stephen Reicher, Diederik Stapel and Simine Vazire.

Unsettling research on prejudice. I’m Bob Hirshon and this is Science Update.
20 years ago, researchers created a video game to match faces with words. They found that white players can easily pair white faces with good words and black faces with bad words, but slow way down when trying to pair white faces with bad words and black faces with good ones. Researcher Mahzarin Banaji says that even she and her colleagues Anthony Greenwald and Brian Nosek had this unsettling tendency.

TatterEpisode 20: The Humean Stain, Part 2ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Implicit bias has been studied by many social psychologists, and one particular measure, the Implicit Association Test (or IAT) has often been used in that research. It has also been used by practitioners, often for purposes of raising participants' awareness of their own biases. And millions have completed IAT's online at the Project Implicit website.
In this episode, I continue a discussion with six people who have all thought about the IAT, with the conversation covering such topics as (a) how well the IAT predicts discriminatory behavior and other behavior, (b) whether it's...

In the face of ensuing controversy, Starbucks closed stores nationwide one afternoon at the end of May in order to hold anti-bias training sessions for employees.
