The HPS Podcast - Conversations from History, Philosophy and Social Studies of ScienceS1 Ep 0.5 - Introduction to the PodcastWelcome to The HPS Podcast! Before we dive into the history and philosophy of science interviews we’ve all been waiting for, our host Samara Greenwood takes us through the backstory to the podcast. Samara discusses what HPS is all about, the aims of the podcast, as well as a bit about the history of the discipline. We then meet the rest of the podcast crew, Fiona Fidler and Indigo Keel, before learning more about the upcoming season. To find out more about HPS at the University of Melbourne and beyond, here are some further resources to exp...2023-05-3107 min
The Insightful Thinkers PodcastThe Replication CrisisReplicability is the hallmark of science. Science values replication so much that as long a study is sufficiently replicated, the claims it makes are considered valid even if they conflict with accepted theories. We trust scientific findings because experiments repeated under the same conditions produce the same results. Or do they?

The Black GoatYou Took the Words Right Out of My MouthIn 2012, Rink Hoekstra received two emails on the same day. One was from a journal editor, telling him that a manuscript was being rejected based on the recommendations of two reviewers. The other was from one of those reviewers, complimenting the paper and congratulating him on a job well done. The reviewer, Fiona Fidler, discovered that her review had been altered, and Rink and Fiona teamed out to figure out why. We spoke with Rink in 2018 about what happened, but we held on to the interview in anticipation of the episode being covered by the press. There's now an...2020-10-3045 min

More of a Comment Than a QuestionTage-gate!This week, we talk about the controversy over a blog by an anonymous person on Twitter, AlvaroDeMenard, about participating in "Replication Markets, a part of DARPA's SCORE program, whose goal is to evaluate the reliability of social science research."The thread about this on Twitter elicited a response from an editor at Science, Tage Rai, and consequently, multiple responses to that from the Open Science community.

Everything Hertz94: Predicting the replicability of researchDan and James chat with Fiona Fidler (University of Melbourne), who is leading the repliCATS project, which aims to develop accurate techniques to elicit estimates of the replicability of research. This is also the first time they interview a guest live!
Here's what they discuss...
The story behind repliCATS
Australia's best export, Tim Tams
The SCORE project organised by DARPA
Can anyone use the repliCATS methodology?
Dan, Fiona, and James talk about did their honours theses (this is roughly the Australian equivalent of a Masters)
What would a successful repliCATS project look like?

Trust Me, I'm An ExpertTrust Me, I’m An Expert: Brain-zapping, the curious case of the n-rays and other stories of evidenceEvidence isn't always as straightforward as it might first seem. Mai Lam/The Conversation NY-BD-CC, CC BY-SAYou’ve had an x-ray before but have you had an n-ray? Of course not, because they’re not real.
But people used to think they were. Scientists had shown they were. And the weird history of n-rays, explored in today’s episode of Trust Me, I’m An Expert, tells us a lot about people’s willingness to believe wrong information – but also how well-designed studies can debunk myths, reveal important truths and bring good evidence to the surface.

Speaking with...Speaking with: Andrew Leigh on why we need more randomised trials in policy and law
AndrewLeigh.com, Author providedRandomised controlled trials are the gold standard in medical research. Researchers divide participants into two groups using the equivalent of flipping a coin, with one group getting a new treatment and a control group getting either the standard treatment or a placebo. It’s the best way to prove that a new treatment works.
But the benefits of randomised trials aren’t limited to medical applications. Big businesses – like Amazon, Google, Facebook and even media organisations – are increasingly using randomised trials to test designs and processes that increase their engagement with users and customer...2018-03-1523 min
