    I'm a bit conflicted over this, mainly because the skills we learn as scientists often do not transfer to politics very well.https://twitter.com/ineeshadvs/status/959899691629588483 …

        That is very true and I think scientist politicians will never be a magic bullet. However, I also think politics is suffering from an extreme deficiency of randomized controlled trials for policy suggestions.

        We got a neurosurgeon as a prime minister in Quebec. The healthcare system got turned into a damaging game of musical chairs. I’m not sure scientists and doctors necessarily make good politicians....

        He blocked me for defending GM food. His embrace of science seems to be, shall we say, selective.

        On the contrary, I think they transfer very well!

        At this point, I think that having folks in office who actually can understand 5th grade science would be a blessing.

        .@LTock @gorskon Yes, but scientists don't generally shovel the BS very well, so they seldom win elections.

        Like understanding what you don’t know and openly changing positions when evidence supports a better course of action?

        If skills such as curiosity, a sense of adventure, fidelity to truth and dedication to something greater than oneself don't transfer well to politics, than maybe that means that politics has to change.

        That’s a self-limiting viewpoint.
