S2E10 - Statistics & Talk With Alexander Pelletier (PhD Student)

As another sequel to my piece on Scientific Literature (Episode #10), I discuss the fundamentals of statistics that I believe everyone should try and understand, encouraging people to be data literate in a world when wild value are thrown around to describe the state of the world. I also hold my second interview of the podcast with the highly intelligent Alexander Pelletier, a PhD student at UCLA developing machine learning technologies to analyze large datasets in the field of proteomics. He was also involved in the Canada-wide SciComm organization Let's Talk Science, and continues to teach his peers about the importance of statistics.
