Quick reflection it’s great to hear how your research is perceived from a very practical / policy oriented angle. It puts forward the tension and different focuses of academia and policy

fcorowe.bsky.social•36 days ago

In academia we want to produce robust evidence so we spend quite a lot of time developing sophisticated methods and engineered data to achieve this

On the other hand, policy makers are much more focus on what all these sophisticated methods and data can tell us about the process they are interested.

This is not to say that policy makers are not interested in robust methods and data but the focus on the evidence puts methods and data on the background

fcorowe.bsky.social•36 days ago

Similarly in academic it’s not that we want to put the big picture behind as a second priority but the methods and data often take priority

It’s probably a generalisation but it’s often what I have experienced
