Very interesting talk and exercise by Flurina Schneider from @isoewikom @geobiodiversity on the role of scientists at the #sciencepolicy interface: are you a pure scientist, a science arbiter, an honest broker or an issue advocate? 🤔
@HannoSeebens @isoewikom @geobiodiversity discussed this here a lot. Imo being an honest broker didn't worked out prefectly in the past. Let's say because many of us became advocater, things started to move My opinion...
@sMarten_Winter @isoewikom @geobiodiversity We are all probably a bit of everything and often somewhere in the centre, but it also depends on context. Sometimes, we act as science arbiter, sometimes more issue advocates, rarely honest brokers. And the issue advocate seems total fine to me. 🙂
