I am teaching a PhD seminar this fall which attempts to put a decision-theoretic lens (or lenses) on research design.
So e.g., statistical decision theory, eliciting beliefs & preferences, and rational benchmarks.

With the level of disruption caused by the attacks on USAID, this is a reminder that the same people propose to end US funding to the World Bank and IMF. Feels like another extreme jolt to the international development world looms.

The #databs crowd knows this very well.
The broader point is that databases are easy to (willfully?) misinterpret. Representing these numbers as evidence of fraud is dishonest.
Fraud = financial *gain*, and so requires data on "recipients" not "database entries."
Nearly half of Elon's entries aren't recipients.

I don’t have a definitive source on this yet but it looks like NSF review panels have been canceled.
Sixty-some years ago, Eisenhower transformed higher education because he viewed a science education gap as the single greatest threat to national security.
This is absolutely an act of sabotage.

At $190 per person per year, US foreign aid costs less than a Netflix subscription. It's one of the key ways to help people in dire need worldwide. Walking away from that signals a retreat from global responsibility.
