Andrew Gelman & Megan Higgs on Statistics' Role in Science and PseudoscienceWatch it on: Youtube Podbean Our science vs pseudoscience discussion continues with Andrew Gelman (Columbia) and Megan Higgs (Critical Inference LLC). Andrew and Megan describe two critical roles that statistics plays in science.... but also how statistics can add the air of scientific rigor to bad research or help statisticians fool themselves. From there the conversation goes on in a way that only a conversation with Andrew and Megan can! A very fun episode.
