Feedback on "Will machines take over the world?"
« on: 04/10/2017 05:18:02 »
Hello all, I was just relistening to this episode, and noticed that one of the panel (Olivia Reims - sorry, unsure of spelling) was telling people to try what sounded like "power posing". I did a bit of a double-take, because I was sure I remembered reading in 2016 that the positive findings of the initial study on this could not be replicated, and one researcher had stated that their findings were probably wrong in the light of further studies that failed to replicate the original. Other problems were identified such as the small study size.

Here's an article:
newbielink:http://www.npr.org/2016/10/01/496093672/power-poses-co-author-i-do-not-believe-the-effects-are-real [nonactive]

I think this would be an excellent opportunity for the Naked Scientists to implement a "corrections" segment. It could coincide with a segment on how science progresses by challenging claims and testing results by attempting to replicate them. And of course telling people when they get things wong :-)

Cheers,
Sarah

Bother again, I see this topic was already raised in another post. I was looking for the episode title. Sorry.

Holbein's portrait of Henry VIII comes pretty close to a haka stance. However it made Henry feel, it certainly lets you know who is the boss.

I probably wouldn't recommend beginning a presentation by beheading your spouse or poking your tongue out, but I did advise a lad on his first job interview to open the door slowly, walk up to the table, introduce himself, and offer his hand to the chairman. The result was remarkable - a subtle arrogation of control that has worked for him every time since.

This week I saw a comedian suggest that New Zealanders are always losing their keys...
