Dan and James have their very first guest! For this episode they're joined by Robin Kok (University of Southern Denmark) to talk e-health. They also cover a recent blog post that inadvertently highlighted questionable research practices in psychology.

• The grad student who never said no
• Postdoc work/life balance
• Questionable research practices
• Torturing data (with rattan sticks)
• Using the GRIM test to assess data accuracy
• Unpaid internships
• Saying 'yes' to opportunities that come your way
• The Myers-Briggs test is rubbish
• What is e-health?
• Are e-health interventions efficacious?
• e-health intervention implementation issues
• The poor quality of psych intervention smartphone apps
• Using "Facebook Live" to broadcast conference presentations
• The future of e-health
