Episode 79 of our book read/podcast covering major topics in various fields of psychology moves us into RESEARCH METHODS! New open-source book and a split semester, with Interviews and discussions on as many types of research types as we can fit in, along with every other episode as PSD with a Twist! (It’s a cocktail pun!).

In this episode we talk with Marc Abrahams, founder and master of ceremonies of the Ig Nobel Prize and editor of the Annals of Improbable Research. We talk about dragging sheep up ramps, the origins of the Ig Nobel Prize, and our shared love of research that makes you laugh and then makes your think.
