This is the antithesis of robust & rigorous social science. Social science actually engages w/ real people to better understand aspects of their lives; to challenge seen/unseen assumptions abt behavior/culture/belief/resource accessibility/etc. This is not the work- this is lazy unethical shite

The idea “is to give social science researchers more freedom when conducting studies. By creating digital replicas which behave like the real people they’re based on, scientists can run studies without the expense of bringing in thousands of human participants every time.” 🫠

Scientists should stop arguing about whether science is political and get on with defending science against increasingly powerful attacks on it, which, yes, means scientists should be political advocates 🔥🔥 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Scientists as political advocates

Science, both teaching and doing, is under attack. The recent US presidential election of a person and platform with anti-science bias exemplifies this. The study of climate processes and patterns and...
