Academics & Expert Advice
Paraphrasing Jonathan Portes’ three purposes of expert advice:
1. Inform audience about surprising or novel research findings
2. Categorically reject or rebuff scientifically wrong or un-evidenced policy statements
3. Synthesise and summarise evidence and research
4. Plus - Acknowledge when uncertainty means we just don’t know
