S6E01 Growth as a Predictor? Back to School with Ethan McCormick

In this week's episode, the first of Season 6, Greg and Patrick visit with Dr. Ethan McCormick, an Assistant Professor of Educational Statistics and Data Science in the School of Education at the University of Delaware. After catching up on Ethan's international adventures they discuss his recent work on using growth factors as predictors of distal outcomes and how pretty much everything he expected to find came out exactly the opposite. Along the way they also discuss chain sawing family memories, the 31st 1st day of school, Irish goodbyes, barn doors, ridiculous footnotes, blatant plagiarism, done and dusted, throwing R code at your advisor, landing a triple axel, umlauts, being proudly uneducated, hiding in the bathroom, and in fairness to us.
