Description

Doing some science, and want to know if you might have found something? Or maybe you've just accomplished the scientific equivalent of going fishing and reeling in an old boot? Frequentist p-values can help you distinguish between "eh" and "oooh interesting". Also, there's a lot of physics in this episode, nerds.

Teuthological Ludology (SQUID GAMES) with Sarah McAnulty: OH boy, listen kids, yer ol' poddad had to do it to 'em... Squid games. look we know we weren't the only ones watching Squid Games and thinking,"I wonder if there are actually squid games?" Hence we combined the study of squids (teuthology) and games (ludology) to make ludological teuthology? We're goin' with it! Anyway, everyone's favorite squid expert (you may remember Dr. Sarah McAnulty from her teuthology episode) came on to answer our questions about whether or not squid games exist in real life and this leads to a lot of other questions, not least of which is, "Do squids punch fish?" Find out by listening to this very special, definitely hijacked by true dad brain, episode of Ologies.
