在美國做研究或唸書的你，是否曾遇過若有似無的歧視問題？是否曾在互動時感覺不舒服，事後才「想想不對勁」？是否曾困惑其他族裔所受到的保障？在這集，三腳貓邀請目前在華大布朗社工及公衛學院方案評估中心工作的江玫曦來跟我們一起聊聊。玫曦現任為專案評估及推廣經理，透過她與聖路易當地社福及倡導機構多年的合作關係及觀察，一起和三腳貓們思考身為台灣人、留學生帶給我們社會地位（social status）和社會特權（social privilege），以及遇到種族或國籍所帶來的問題時該如何自處。 --- 內容製作：玫曦、雯薇、Mike、浩文 後製：雯薇、Mike 文案：Mike 音樂：雯薇 封面：毓鴻 上架：乃馨、雯薇 宣傳：安琪、Rita、雯薇

Can we correctly predict the flip of a fair coin more than half the time -- or the decay of a single radioactive atom? Our intuition, based on a lifetime of experience, tells us that we cannot, as these are classic examples of what are known to be 50-50 guesses. But mathematics is filled with counterintuitive results -- and this book discusses some surprising and entertaining examples. It is possible to devise experiments in which a flipped coin lands heads completely at random half the time, but we

In this episode Patrick and Greg explore the many faces of ethics in quantitative research, particularly as related to issues that arise in the day-to-day analytical decisions we make.

How advanced is our civilization? Hot Pockets? Check. Cat memes? Check. Total control of our planet’s resources, weather, and energy? Well…we’ll get back to you. That’s the basic premise of the Kardashev Scale. It’s a simple test to judge a civilization’s technological advancement. The scale ranges from 0 (we’re a 0.7) to a 6 or 7 (think omnipotent beings). This week we explore where we are, where we’re (hopefully) going, and how we can get there. Plus, Conspiracy Bot gives himself an upgrade to

Ah, the internet. An interconnected series of tubes and wires bringing us all together with stupid cat videos, planking, and Viagra ads. But every now and then the internet produces a story befitting a late 80’s Robert Stack treatment. Enter #pizzagate. Through a series of wikileaked e-mails, Instagram photos and some BIG leaps of faith, the dark corners of the internet have decided that an independent pizza joint in Washington DC is the center hive to a satanic, pedophilic sex ring that is
