Listening to this episode made me feel really smart, mainly because of all the science-y terms like "control group" and "double blind". Once I past feeling like I was now an expert in scientific studies, I realised that this topic is actually a broad topic and can even, in many ways, be applied to a lot of things in life, possibly software testing and usability studies. I'd love to get a job some time where I could just test people's reactions to various interface designs, or to arbitrary limitations imposed on software, and so on.

Thanks for this series; I never thought of myself as being interested in health care and science, so it's been unexpectedly intriguing.
