di Principal Instigators
On today’s episode, Liv, Sandra, and Dan explore the exciting world of open access journals, where science is liberated for just a fraction of a graduate student's annual salary (per paper).
Tired: a reasonably well-supported scientific consensus based on numerous lines of evidence collected by countless researchers over decades. Wired: a rando in the twilight of his career who eventually learns to get his unique ideas through peer review. Inspired: the most unqualified people imaginable spouting off on social media about topics they don't care to understand.
On the debut episode of Principal Instigators, Sandra, Liv, and Dan discuss ProPublica's uncovering of a scheme to make your high schooler a peer-reviewed published author. https://www.propublica.org/article/college-high-school-research-peer-review-publications
