131: Long live the overhead projector!

Dan and James answer listener audio questions on indirect costs for research grants, the mind/body problem, and why many academics aren't trained to teach. They also profess their love for the overhead projector
Some more details:
* Should we require universities to justify overhead costs, like heating and electricity?
* Overheads can inflate the costs of grants, some grants provide an additional percentage for overheads but others don’t allow this, which can eat into grants
* Get to know the people in your local grant office!
* Indirect costs at MIT (https://ras.mit.edu/facilities-and-administrative-fa-rates)
* A primer (https://web.mit.edu/fnl/volume/295/zuber.html) on indirect costs and why they are important to MIT
* Does it matter that we address the mind body problem in psychology?
* On the teaching of the history and philosophy of science (or lack thereof) in psychology courses
* Why aren’t academics better equipped to teach?
