The smell of good research

This week on the pod, Kathryn and Marygrace discuss a paper correlating COVID spikes to... candle reviews! They point out the places where this scientist did great science, and contrast it to other correlations that are scientifically problematic. Now you can feel confident analyzing the data in your own life!
