Thank you Jon. This is a really good article. Modelling has become so important and yet so many people have no idea what it entails.

I mention this partly for shameless self-promotion, but also because it is an attempt to communicate some aspects of contemporary scientific process which can be hard to find space for in regular news media - so might interest some here from that point of view? Aeon is known to have a relatively civilised comment space, so if anyone here wants to join in if any discussion develops, that would be great too. http://aeon.co/magazine/world-views/should-we-trust-scientific-models-to-tell-us-what-to-do/ Jon Turney Science writer, editor, lecturer. www.jonturney.co.uk<http://www.jonturney.co.uk> twitter: jonWturney ********************************************************************** Commands - send an email (any subject) to [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> with one of the following messages (ignoring text in brackets) • set psci-com nomail (to stop receiving messages while on holiday) • set psci-com mail (to resume getting messages) • signoff psci-com (to leave the list) • Subscribe here https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?A0=psci-com Contact list owner at [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> Small print and JISCMail acceptable use policy https://sites.google.com/site/pscicomjiscmail/the-small-print ********************************************************************** ********************************************************************** Commands - send an email (any subject) to [log in to unmask] with one of the following messages (ignoring text in brackets) • set psci-com nomail (to stop receiving messages while on holiday) • set psci-com mail (to resume getting messages) • signoff psci-com (to leave the list) • Subscribe here https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?A0=psci-com Contact list owner at [log in to unmask] Small print and JISCMail acceptable use policy https://sites.google.com/site/pscicomjiscmail/the-small-print **********************************************************************
