This is the antithesis of robust & rigorous social science. Social science actually engages w/ real people to better understand aspects of their lives; to challenge seen/unseen assumptions abt behavior/culture/belief/resource accessibility/etc. This is not the work- this is lazy unethical shite

Scientists should stop arguing about whether science is political and get on with defending science against increasingly powerful attacks on it, which, yes, means scientists should be political advocates 🔥🔥 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Abstract submission for the European Human Behaviour and Evolution Association conference closes early this year - 2 December - so make sure not to miss the deadline 😊
