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
