The Data Whisperers

from The Interesting Times podcast Hosted by Kevin Hockmuth

The Interesting Times podcast is back with a new episode featuring a discussion with Prof. Lydia Wilkes of Auburn University and Prof. Ira Allen of Northern Arizona University. We use the recent cases of data manipulation by Harvard professor Francesca Gino as a point of entry to explore much wider (and more important) issues tied to how ‘knowledge’ about society is produced. As promised in the show, here is a link to the blog Data Colada where several experts in the field of quantitative analysis point to extremely convincing evidence that a series of studies co-authored by Gino demonstrate clear instances of data manipulation. It is interesting and not technically overwhelming, so please check it out if you want to dig into to the numbers a little bit further. As always, thanks for supporting The Interesting Times!
