Dr. Thompson's Science and Research Songs
All songs © William B. Thompson. All rights reserved.

​Each song refers to important issues related to science and research methodology:
  • Correlations Don't Prove Causation—but can you explain why?
  • ​In What We Knew Before, what does "glittering finds turn fools gold" mean?
  • Why might someone think Studies Mean Nothing?
  • What research concepts are alluded to in Coincidence?
  • What is the singer breaking up with in Significant Doesn't Mean Significant?
  • How do the lyrics of Just the Way Life Goes related to research methodology?
  • What research topics and practices are alluded to in Science Stuff?
  • What does Crazy Good Proof mean, anyway? We will discuss it in class.
