Hi all, I’m Nathaniel. I’m a data scientist and health policy researcher in DC.
As I’ve published more in the academic literature, applied for research funding, and subjected myself to pre-publication peer review, I’ve seen just how suboptimal these mechanisms for doing science are. Reading about the surprisingly shallow history of scientific publication has helped me to feel like I have some agency in changing how it’s done. My main interests within progress studies are thus around meta-science and exploring new ways of prioritizing and rewarding research.
