This is Planet Money from NPR.
Alexi Horowitz-Gazi.
Mary Childs.
Yes, you and I took a little trip up to Scenic Montreal,
one of the jewels of French Canada, for a little Planet Money mission.
Yes, we did.
And even though it's a little bit sad that that mission did not entail...
joining the maple harvest or, you know, like infiltrating a poutine cartel.
Mm, next time.
Dare I say, next time,
it did have much bigger implications for anybody and everybody whose life is impacted by science,
which I think is basically all of us.
I think that's right, yeah.
We were there to meet a guy named Abel Broder.
about this very energetic economics professor in his late 30s at the University of Ottawa.
And we found him bounding around the halls of this modernist school building in downtown Montreal.
He was getting ready to host an event he's become sort of famous for,
something called the replication games.
It's getting exciting now.
How are you feeling?
