April 2023 Preview

So the worst season is upon us, but we're still raring to podcast about behavior analysis. This month in between gardening and umbrella-buying, we're planning a good ol' bevy of discussions on topics such as moving away from edible reinforcement in programming and behavioral instruction with special guest, Dr. Kendra Guinness, plus (for Patreon subscribers) our whole discussion of "Calling Bullshit: The Art of Skepticism in a Data-Driven World" by Bergstrom and West. At least it's warm enough for another dip into the grab bag to round out the month. Articles for April 2023 Grab Bag Gab Gale, C.M., Eikeseth, S., & Eikeseth, F.F. (2023).
