Let's say that one wanted to go from 0 to computational social science. With the end goal being to write a real research paper using this approach.
What are the texts and resources that you would suggest to achieve this goal?

To see so many industries walking back support of DEI initiatives in these times affirms the skepticism I had of their proclamations back in 2020.
At the end of the day, they can always protect themselves from cultural backlash by dropping the programs, but my race can’t be dropped or hidden.

Despite similar performance at the population level, different coronary heart disease polygenic risk scores produced highly variable individual-level risk estimates. #AHA24

It feels that the longer I do statistics, the harder it becomes. I never get an analysis just "right". There is always one more assumption to change or one more term to add to my model.

Might be a good time to read up on the history of science & how it's fundamentally a social process (as it is carried out by humans) & how it's deeply intertwined with power relations. Decades of literature! Will be super helpful when having (yet another) debate about science and politics! 🧪⚕️🛟
