This is RoRI Cast, a podcast all about the science of how research is funded, conducted and evaluated, brought to you by the Research on Research Institute.In each episode we’ll be examining the important and ceaselessly fascinating debates which orbit and animate the world of research, including questions like: How can we minimise and mitigate the biases of peer reviewers? How can we structure the academy such that it’s a healthy place for science and scientists?And will the advent of AI and Machine Learning make theory obsolete?
