I think one of my favourite parts of doing thesis research was the deep level of thinking, the exploration about a subject and where the research could take it. Doesn’t always make it easy, however 🙂

Really enjoyed recording this episode with Dan. A lot of food for thought around what types of evidence we might be using in practice and what biases might exist…

I’ll ignore the confusion Star Wars and Star Trek @psychbites.bsky.social, but I will prepare some essential reading / watching for you!
