uncertainty

When scientist and policy maker plus uncertainty

  • Schmitt (2014). "The Pitfall of Uncertainty" (The Scientist)
    • The Scientist published an opinion article about what uncertainty means to scientisit and policy maker. "...they must be crystal clear: science is about discovery and (decreasing) uncertainty, policymaking is about achieving consensus (if not certainty). Together, scientists and policymakers alike must strive to make responsible decisions for the benefit of society."
  • NPR (2017). Alan Alda's Experiment: Helping Scientists Learn To Talk To The Rest Of Us
  • Wikipedia:
    • A intuitive figure of true vs truth of Starecat.com: This is TRUE, this is TRUE, this is TRUTH. I like this figure indeed. However, 'True' is a an adjective; 'truth' is a noun. I would like to change this into "This is TURE, this is TURE, this is THE THUTH" or "This is a FACT, this is a FACT, this is THE TRUTH"
