Episode 24-Science Board Games

September 08, 2024 • Behind Our Science • Season 2024 • Episode 24

At Behind Our Science, we love board games! Especially science-based board games. In this episode we discuss some our favorite science board games including Antidote, Pandemic, Remediate, and Cytosis.

We interview Dr. Max Bai, Director of the Political Belief Lab, about his creation of the Publish or Perish: The Board Game and how his academic journey prepared him to develop a humorous interpretation of a heavy and difficult topic in academic research.
This game explores the academic publish or perish culture as a fun party game! Resources mentioned in this episode:
