Data and Science with Glen Wright Colopy is a podcast covering critical scientific reasoning, particularly from a data science / machine learning / statistics perspective. Episodes typically focus on understanding of how to be better scientists and critical thinkers for the practical purpose of being a better data scientists. Previously called: ”Pod of Asclepius”

David Dunson | Advancing Statistical Science | Philosophy of Data Science Series
A fundamental question in the philosophy of science is "what does it mean to make scientific progress?" We will have a series of episodes centered around this question for statistics and data science. In our first episode in the series, David Dunson (Duke University) discusses important advances in Bayesian analysis, big data, uncertainty, and scientific discovery.
