Quantitude Syllabus

A Non-Exhaustive List of Episodes Organized by Topic

Below is a list of specific episodes of Quantitude organized by general themes and topics that might be of some small use to a class or a research group. Or if you have trouble going to sleep; seriously, we're going to put big-pharma out of business.

This list is not exhaustive and does not include all 150+ episodes (heaven help us); a complete listing of all episodes organized in reverse-chronological order is available here (with thanks to Patrick's kid Jay for creating this).

The episodes are organized around the following 11 topics; please click on each topic to jump down the page if it's just one of the days and you don't feel like scrolling. Seriously...we've all been there:
