Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Allen B. Downey, "Probably Overthinking It: How to Use Data to Answer Questions, Avoid Statistical Traps, and Make Better Decisions" (U Chicago Press, 2023)
Q: How can someone use the Significant Persistence Contingency Framework to decide what job they should take?
You want to think about all three factors of significance, persistence, and contingency when making these career decisions.
Allen B. Downey, "Probably Overthinking It: How to Use Data to Answer Questions, Avoid Statistical Traps, and Make Better Decisions" (U Chicago Press, 2023)
Q: Why could you write Probably Overthinking it and who is the target reader?
I started writing in part because I had a lot of ideas and stories that I had collected.
Daniel J. Sherman, "Sensations: French Archaeology Between Science and Spectacle, 1890-1940" (U Chicago Press, 2025)
Q: Can you tell us a little bit about what the story of the two Luies is?
Louis Carton and Louis Poisson represent two contrasting approaches to archaeology, with Carton embodying a more entrepreneurial spirit and Poisson representing academic rigor.
Daniel J. Sherman, "Sensations: French Archaeology Between Science and Spectacle, 1890-1940" (U Chicago Press, 2025)
Q: What is it about the precarity of the situation in Tunisia that makes Poisson so concerned about maintaining those rules?
The complex colonial setup means archaeology requires sensitivity to public opinion, and the integrity of archaeological sites must be safeguarded.
Daniel J. Sherman, "Sensations: French Archaeology Between Science and Spectacle, 1890-1940" (U Chicago Press, 2025)
Q: How do you think about French history in relation to these other fields?
My identity as a historian is strongest when doing research, especially when involving archival analysis. Teaching art history has influenced my understanding of how works of art serve as historical evidence.
