Episode 135: Big Team Science Outside the West (with Sergio Barbosa and Alma Jeftic)
Episode 135
Sunday, 1 November, 2026
Sergio Barbosa (Universidad del Rosario, Bogotá) and Alma Jeftic (International Christian University, Tokyo) join Yoel to talk about big team science. We talk about some of the problems that can come up when you are trying to collect data in many countries around the world, including how constructs might need to be measured differently and how ethics committees in different countries can have really different ideas about what is a problematic question. Sergio and Alma explain the terms "majority world" and "minority world," and how researchers in poorer countries are sometimes relegated to being 65th author on a 100-author paper. We also talk about some possible fixes: blind review of project proposals, leaving equipment and skills behind after a project ends, and projects led by researchers from outside the West. Finally, Alma and Sergio tell Yoel about ABRIR, the network Alma helped found to bring majority-world researchers into big team science, and Sergio's upcoming Psychological Science Accelerator project on social evaluation. Also, Sergio makes some very tasty cocktails while Yoel drinks like a beer and a half.Special Guests: Alma Jeftic and Sergio Barbosa.
