Husband, father, social scientist, writer, Madisonian. Or maybe right-wing ideologue, pseudoscientist, evil. Opinions differ.

    Not enough. Undergrad majors in social science too. Or maybe one in behavioral genetics, one in statistics, focusing on probability.https://twitter.com/EPoe187/status/1054041094068072448 …

    Bo Winegard @EPoe187
    Two classes in behavior genetics should be required for anybody who wants an advanced degree in social science; it is just that important to understand.

        And they have to be taught out of the biology department. Can't let sociology make some half-assed version to cover the requirement

        So the anti blk #whitesupremacist terrorism of the past 500yrs is really just a passed down behavioral trait? It’s a global pattern of fear based behavior that must be analyzed. Also anti blk terroristic science #whitesupremacypic.twitter.com/E6ACrqMBHb

        How about rigorous IQ and conscientiousness testing as a prerequisite for university enrollment to begin with? How many people really need to go anyway?

        ⚡️ ⚡️ There’s hubris in thinking a technique of one’s own favored narrow discipline unlocks understanding. Without a single class in behavior genetics, Shakespeare knew—and reveals—more about human nature than any social science statistician’s abstractions ever could.

        Undergrad business majors need to take stats. Most hate it, do poorly, and enter the business world with little understanding of the most basic of statistics fundamentals. Stats for social science sounds great, in practice most would get nothing out of it.

        Agree with this. Only replying to add that I don't think a class in statistics is enough to understand statistics. Only applying the discipline with oversight from a legit statistician imparts true appreciation and some understanding of stats. Maybe the same for all disciplines

        A big weak area I see is law professors who dabble in empirics amateurishly in law review articles. They don't need any particular undergrad background to become a lawprof, and law reviews don't have peer review - even for empirical pieces. Maybe remedial offerings could help?

        Impossible if done with any kind of rigor. That would require multivariate calculus and matrix algebra at the least, which would bar most intended social science majors.
