Two Psychologists, Four Beers: Measurement Schmeasurement
A podcast about measurement that I really enjoyed. From the website:
Jessica Flake joins Mickey and Yoel to talk measurement. What is it, how do you do it well, and do social psychologists care about it? What does measurement theory tell us about the validity of standardized tests like the GRE? Jessica also talks about how she went from high-school dropout to professor at McGill.

Topic - Should we change how we teach statistics?
This week’s topic is centred around Sally Larsen’s guest lecture, so do watch it before you contribute, and try to read the relevant paper as well (posted below).
Given what we now know about the state of psychological research, replicability, and the prevalence of questionable research practices, along with a widespread misunderstanding of p-values, should we change how we teach undergraduate statistics?
We actually have an ongoing staff discussion about this very topic, so this is your chance to have actual input into how undergrad stats is taught at UNE. I would really, really value your honest opinion and will bring any input to the staff.
