Description: A special episode, recorded at the 2010 SkepTrack at Dragon*Con - a lecture by Barbara Drescher and Jennifer Ouellete! Mathematical Modeling Pitfalls: Models don’t always accurately reflect messy reality, particularly where human behavior is concerned. Algorithms can only mimic human behavior, and there is a lot of room for bias and error as a result. This episode was recorded at Dragon*Con and it is thanks again to Derek and Swoopy of SkepTrack and Skepticality podcast.
