Principles for effective use of math in policy research, Part 1

My lecture was titled “Mathiness where Science Meets Politics,” and I provided a tour of research that I’ve been involved in over the past 30 years that has — for better or worse — made its way into highly contested settings where science, policy and politics collide.
