Prof Daniel Lakens is an Associate Professor in the Human-Technology interaction group at Eindhoven University of Technology. His areas of expertise include meta-science, research methods and applied statistics. Prof Lakens' main lines of empirical research focus on conceptual thought, similarity, and meaning. He also focuses on how to design and interpret studies, applied (meta)-statistics, and reward structures in science. Outside academia, Prof Lakens has a podcast on science called Nullius in Verba with his cohost, Smriti Mehta, from UC Berkeley. In this episode, we discuss metascience, the openness initiative in science, incentive structures, scientific realism vs anti-realism, and the philosophy of applied (meta)-statistics.
