      The use (&abuse!) of science is one thing. But the content is another. I've only perused it quickly, but what facts in memo are wrong? 1/2

      Progressive values are best supported by an unflinching commitment to justice coupled with equally unflinching commitment to truth. 2/2

      Yes. There are myriad factual errors in piece as well as broad conceptual ones. Am traveling offline for most of day but will elaborate.

      Am curious about the errors. I will read the memo carefully later today too. The brouhaha online strikes me as overwrought so far.

      A few places to start re: errors 1) if you say the word “distribution”, show or cite same. Burden of evidence is on the author.

      2) differences btwn sexes “universal across cultures” - certainly not all diffs; which specifically are we talking abt?

      3) “underlying traits are highly heritable” - sex is, by definition, not heritable (unless we’re taking about roundworms working as SWEs?)

      Then we can step back a bit: gender balanced teams are better performers http://science.sciencemag.org/content/330/6004/686 … (contra “disastrous consequences” argument)

      Overall: this rant is not science; science presents evidence to support assertions (all this before we even get to the moral component…)

      You did read the part where Gizmodo removed all of the memo's links to sources, right?

          To be fair, he did later cite a paper that, in the study authors' own words, demonstrated that ⬆️ testosterone made people bad at math.

          Then shall we go with "this isn't science _yet_"? Happy to revisit a complete version, but "benefit of the doubt" is a bad look on this one
