One of first issues identified when people try to understand why science for policy is so hard is timing. Research takes time and policy decisions are urgent. Perhaps real timing issue is when scientists are not present when problem is defined & framed at outset but only later.

It’s very normal and healthy to not have an opinion on everything.

Are science and public administration two worlds apart? Not if you ask this question to our EU-27 ministers for science and the EU-27 ministers for public administration. Recently two key supports for #Science4Policy at the 🇪🇺 level with 🇪🇸🇧🇪 Presidencies. knowledge4policy.ec.europa.eu/news/science-p…

Heute ist der Todestag von Stefan Zweig. Und morgen ist der zweite Jahrestag des Ukraine-Krieges. 1942 schrieb Zweig: „Bald mussten wir erkennen, dass je länger die Weltkatastrophe dauerte, umso ungerechter die Proportion wurde zwischen Leiden und Mitleiden. Der Tod 1/4

Nature - one of the world's most prestigious science journals - writes that 'When Science Meets Power' is 'engaging ... packed with wisdom and analytical prowess … a breath of fresh air' (and illustrates it with a nice photo!) nature.com/articles/d4158…

This is a great paper, but it is *massively* misunderstood. It does not show that WFH reduces innovation. This paper and its follow-up actually suggests by 2023 that WFH increases innovation. To explain: 1) This paper is about *collocation* not *WFH*. They are completely different. If two people share the same office address - even if they are both hybrid or remote - they would be classified as collocated. For example, my co-author Steve Davis and I both work a hybrid schedule at Stanford, coming to the office maybe 2 days a week. We both have a Stanford office address on papers. So, for this paper we would count as being *collocated*. Indeed, almost all hybrid WFH teams would count as collocated. 2) Co-author teams are becoming more dispersed. The paper reports the average distance between team members offices has increased from 100km to 1,000km over the last 60 years. This reveals that tens of thousands of scientists are choosing to work in more global teams, presumably to access a wider network of experts. I co-author with researchers across five continents because it lets me work with great people. If teams of elite scientists, whose entire careers are focused on cutting-edge innovation, are becoming more dispersed it suggests it has major benefits. 3) The results do not hold after 2010. This is critical as Zoom and Dropbox cloud file sharing emerged after 2010. Indeed the follow-up paper by Carl Frey (one of the co-authors) and Giorgio President from Oxford shows innovation is *higher* for remote collaboration after 2010! drive.google.com/file/d/1vLk_Gr… So a fantastic paper - it deserves to be published in Nature. But to understand it you need to read beyond the title. You can't judge a book by its cover, nor a Nature paper by its 6 word title. And please forward this to any mangers or CEOs claiming this implies WFH reduces innovation. It does not - indeed points (2) and (3) suggest exactly the reverse.

#Science4Policy is not a task for a single organisation. No single organisation may have all the knowledge to address ever more complex policy problems. We work together with research partners to deliver the best available evidence for EU policy. europa.eu/!B3F8BB

A Dutch proverb: "Trust arrives on a tortoise & leaves on a horse". How to build trust like a tortoise: 1) Consistency 2) Transparency 3) Active listening 4) Fulfil promises 5) Respect boundaries How to stop trust from eroding in a horse situation: 1) Acknowledge mistakes 2) Apologise sincerely 3) Make amends 4) Avoid repeat offences mercecardus.com/how-trust-work… by @MerceCardus. I learnt the proverb from @simongterry

Why hasn't the Internet worked as a great public space where the best ideas win? Perhaps because it isn't how debates operate. Behind intellectual arguments, people aren't impartial thinkers; they advocate for their team. A🧵on how coalitional thinking shapes our discussions.

The @EU_Commission’s Better Regulation agenda sees scientific evidence as a cornerstone of EU policymaking. Let’s use Europe’s world-class science to produce world-class regulations for and together with European citizens. #Science4Policy
