      Scott Atlas is yet another example showing how @HooverInst has long used and abused its relationship with @Stanford to lend itself an unearned patina of academic respectability when in reality it’s just another bunch of right wing hacks disguised a “conservative think tank.”https://twitter.com/HikerDave57/status/1375795577649131520 …

      I've studied many think tanks, and many have nothing but rightwing hacks (& Hoover certainly has some), but there are some very sensible folks affiliated there as well, like @McFaul, @KounalakisM, William Perry, Gary Roughead & others I've heard or talked to. One has to check.

      The right wing science denying rot at @HooverInst crowds out nearly all legitimate scholarship. Science-wise, I see nothing but climate science denial and #COVID19 minimization/denial there, and any legitimate scholar who chooses to remain is complicit in promoting that.

      And even if they want to seriously argue a "we have a diversity of viewpts" angle and cast themselves as a legit think tank, continuing to include Atlas in their house is not a way forward. He's poisoned their well as the "household name" most ppl think of when Hoover comes up.

      Yup, but I view him as an unmistakable symptom of what’s wrong. Atlas fits right in because of @HooverInst’s long history of climate science denial and how well #COVID19 minimization/denial aligns with the right wing politics baked into the institution.

          They’re certainly suggesting support by leaving him in.

          Well, if I were running Hoover & had power to do so, I'd get rid of him as embarrassment ... but then I have no idea of the nature of employment contracts for Hoover Fellows & as you know, firing academics or even "academics" is not always easy.

          And even look at his output in recent yrs. A few, barely cited items on hc ins. iifrc. Not like he's a real scholar in resid. like a typical think tank fellow. Just a political opportunist who worked his way into access to Trump's ear and undermined govt public health response.

          They used to do climate denial, much less in recent decades. George Shultz was quite vocal. Climate scientist @dwtitley has worked OK with folks there, made a point of differentiating them from other rightwing thinktanks when I gave a talk at PSU.
