Decoding Academia 19: The Smell Test (Gelstein et al. 2011) *Audio* (Patreon)

Hey everyone,

The audio version is now ready... a bit later than intended.

A free-for-everyone decoding episode in which we look at a pre-replication crisis paper that suggests smelling sad tears makes men less sexually aroused. Bit of an odd paper but also recently promoted by Huberman. We cover some warning flags when it comes to assessing papers, why neuroimaging studies are sometimes misleading, and also get a little bogged down in a discussion of error bars (sorry!).

Hope you enjoy it. Full Yudkowsky Decoding episode coming soon!
