They also profess their love for the overhead projector Some more details: * Should we require universities to justify overhead costs, like heating and electricity? * Overheads can inflate the costs of grants, some grants provide an additional percentage for overheads but others don’t allow this, which can eat into grants * Get to know the people in your local grant office! * Indirect costs [at MIT](https://ras.mit.edu/facilities-and-administrative-fa-rates) * A [primer](https://web.mit.edu/fnl/volume/295/zuber.html) on indirect costs and why they are important to MIT * Does it matter that we address the mind body problem in psychology? * On the teaching of the history and philosophy of science (or lack thereof) in psychology courses * Why aren’t academics better equipped to teach? * The 3Blue1Brown YouTube [channel](http://www.3blue1brown.com/) **Other links** - [Dan on twitter](www.twitter.com/dsquintana) - [James on twitter](www.twitter.com/jamesheathers) - [Everything Hertz on twitter](www.twitter.com/hertzpodcast) - [Everything Hertz on Facebook](www.facebook.com/everythinghertzpodcast/) Music credits: [Lee Rosevere](freemusicarchive.org/music/Lee_Rosevere/) --------------------------------- [Support us on Patreon](https://www.patreon.com/hertzpodcast) and get bonus stuff! - $1 a month: 20% discount on Everything Hertz merchandise, a monthly newsletter, access to the occasional bonus episode, and the the warm feeling you're supporting the show - $5 a month or more: All the stuff you get in the one dollar tier PLUS a bonus episode every month --------------------------------- **Episode citation** Quintana, D.S., Heathers, J.A.J.
