Summary

00:00:00- We're doing another Anchor-themed clip show! Following up on episodes 266, 282, and 326 we have another round of short audio clips that Ryan created for the podcast startup Anchor under the banner of Organized Curiosity (explanation of the name here).

00:01:43 - Ryan explains the ‘Up-Goer Five’ challenge, reads an abstract he wrote using the Up-Goer Five Text Editor, tries to explain what the abstract actually means, and then shares some thoughts on whether or not this exercise is effective.

00:17:57 - News you probably cannot use: Cheerios included some seeds in their cereal boxes to help folks grow flowers for the bees. A nice idea, but unfortunately still might do more harm than good.

00:23:22 - It’s the holidays so Ryan is drinking glögg and eating raisins. It’s tradition. Make your own glögg AND make your own raisins so you can enjoy some too.

00:24:50 - Q&A: Paul from Cork, Ireland calls in to talk about how he hopes his daughter takes an interest in science (us to!) and to talk about whales. Ryan then tells the tale of the time he met a wild humpback, which was amazing but smelly.

00:31:20 - A new study suggests a pretty fundamental shakeup of the dinosaur family tree. First, he explains how dinosaur diversity was previously organized. Then he explains what the new study actually found.

00:40:40 - Bio bios: dog (Canis lupus familiaris)

00:45:44 - Q&A: Tachi calls in to leave some comments about the “Up Goer Five” challenge, Ryan responds. Also, go read The Elements of Style, it’s great.

00:47:10 - PaleoPOWs are a lot like clip shows; they comfort you in dark times. In this episode, we thank Zachary G. for his recurring donation via PayPal. Thanks, Zachary! Ryan also appeared on the podcast MonsterTalk to talk about the Loveland Frog so go check that out.

Thanks for getting through 2020 with us, see you on the other side.

More cool rewards await you if you decide to support us on our Patreon!

0:38.5	Hello and welcome to Science Sort of. This is episode 332 and here to talk to you about things that are science, things that are sort of science and things that wish they were. Science is just me. Ryan helped. Sorry we've been off the air for a little bit. I know a lot of podcasts take a break around the holidays. We are sort of doing that, but we also sort of got interrupted by me defending my dissertation. So I am now done with grad school and with
0:46.3	being a PhD candidate. And now I'm just Ryan Halped PhD. So that's pretty fun. I've been really
0:52.0	excited about that. But I also got a new job that I'll talk about later on and just sort of had to hit the ground running and been busy with the holidays.

2:07.7	Ryan Halped, and here's the experiment I had in mind. When scientists are working on research,
2:13.8	a lot of times we'll have preliminary data or something that's in progress that we're
2:18.3	working on making into a paper. And so we'll submit it as an abstract or short summary to a
