'Cause You're There For Me Too

Friendships are an important part of life, but one that often gets left out of the conversation about having healthy relationships. Today we talk about maintaining friendships outside of academia - how important (or not?) is it to have those connections, and what role do they play in our lives. Also in this episode: A letter-writer is trying to decide whether to come clean about the p-hacked work that got them tenure. And Simine tells us why she hated getting her first pedicure.

Discussed in this episode:

• Check Yourself Again by Mickey Inzlicht
• My position on "power poses" by Dana Carney
