124: From Ptolemy to Takeshi's Castle - a podcast by Dan Quintana

We discuss under which circumstances retracting decades-old articles is worth the time. We also chat about why LinkenIn is underrated (yes, really) and special journal issues are overrated.
A more specific list of topics and links:We play a game of "overated/underated", in which Dan has a list of stuff that he asks James whether these things are overrated or underated (or appropiated rated)
Why LinkedIn is underatedGraphical abstracts are underrated
Online conferences are underratedAuthors should have the chance to wildly speculate (as long as it's marked as wild speculation)
Sourdough bread is so gorgeous that even hipsters can't ruin itSpecial journal themes are overrated
Should we bother putting the energy into retracting old studies?The retracted article (https://www.karger.com/Article/FullText/512536) that Eysenck co-authored, entitled “Coffee-Drinking and Personality as Factors in the Genesis of Cancer and Coronary Heart Disease”
