Why do advisory organisations approach evidence differently? My new @policysociety.bsky.social paper explores the concept of evidence culture and how it shapes organisations' evidentiary standards (what evidence is seen as legitimate, valuable and actionable).

I am delighted to share that I have been awarded a UKRI AI Metascience Fellowship.

🌐 My project, Transforming Evidence Synthesis: AI and the (R)evolution of the Evidence Ecosystem, will investigate the implications of AI on the practice of evidence synthesis and the broader research ecosystem.

STS to International Relations concept pipeline takes 15 years. I do not have hard evidence, but I just know it's true. I even have a theory why this is happening.

Competition in academia not only allocates resources but also socializes participants. We have studied how multiple competitions pile up, compete, or contradict each other in the postdoc stage, and how postdocs cope with these multiple sources of socialization. #IchbinHanna

Good job here:

This programme seeks to explore the meaning of social justice in an age of datafication and artificial intelligence (AI).

This looks like an excellent position. I really value reading about the historical background of the things that I study (e.g. the history of 'impact' might be traced to as far as the early 20th century). So this book below might be worth checking out for science-policy people.
Scientific Advice to the Nineteenth-Century British State. Advance copies now in the wild! Huge thanks to Pittsburgh University Press & to supportive words from John Gascoigne, @rhiggitt.bsky.social & William Ashworth. Publication 14 November. upittpress.org/books/978082...

The automated transcription tools seem to be... good now? The last time I checked them out was in 2019, and the quality was really not good. Has anyone had experience using them for bigger projects?
