In Science and Politics, Ian Boyd illustrates the disconnect between policymaking and scientific discourse, criticizing researchers who succumb to social influence and financial incentives.
Boyd argues that many scientists, influenced by the 'wisdom of crowds' and financial motives, often engage in normative research rather than objective inquiry.
He describes the relationship between science and politics as a 'troubled marriage', plagued by theoretical overreach and practical deficiencies.
Despite presenting a critical view of the political and scientific landscapes, Boyd maintains an upbeat tone throughout his narrative, aiming to inspire change.
