“The nature of the hybrid research/design model means that we often can see design efforts as attempts not to concretize the outcomes of research but instead to justify, promote, or initiate them” MeanEffortDesignModelsResearchOutcomesJustifyHybridInitiateOften Can Book:Divining a Digital Future: Mess and Mythology in Ubiquitous Computing Source: Divining a Digital Future: Mess and Mythology in Ubiquitous Computing
“Research has convincingly demonstrated that using the "rod" creates children who are not more obedient but who are instead simplymore angry and aggressive than other kids. Parents who routinely slap or strike their children are actually handing them a model of violence to imitate--and many do indeed grow to be abusive, some even murderously so.” ChildrenKidsGrowsParentViolenceDisciplineModelsResearchAngryStrikesAggressiveObedientSlapAbusive Author:Julius Segal
“I would like to say that I have software that allows me to model worlds to a high degree of scientific plausibility. I'd also like to be six foot two and fifteen years into my reign as Emperor of Europa. The simple truth is that past the character's name and a long history of making my own body cover distances, I did very little in the way of targeted research.” WorldWayYearsLittlesLongTwoCharacterBodyPastNamesMy OwnSimpleFeetTruth IsDegreesSixModelsResearchDistanceSoftwareFifteenReignEmperorFifteen YearsSimple Truths Author:Robert Reed

“...a vocal minority of scientists so mistrusts the models and the complex fragmentary data, that some claim that global warming is a hoax. They have made public statements accusing other scientists of deliberate fraud in aid of their research funding. Both sides are now hurling personal epithets at each other, a very bad development in Earth sciences.” MadeEarthSidesDevelopmentModelsResearchScientistClaimsComplexesAidsStatementsDataGlobal WarmingMinoritiesFraudBoth SidesDeliberateVocalFundingMistrustAccusingHoaxesEpithetHurlingEarth Science Author:Joanne Simpson
“As with most of my work, I started from the abstract, from research, building an intellectual model that slowly became internalized when the characters came alive. It's fascinating what happens to the model you've so assiduously assembled when characters are allowed to run rampant: things you thought essential are broken and other things are vastly improved.” CharacterHappensRunningAliveBuildingBrokenEssentialsIntellectualModelsResearchAbstractFascinating Author:Lauren Groff
“Opioid replacement therapy is the standard evidence-based model to treat people with acute opioid addiction, and that is unassailable according to every research study that's been done. If that is the evidence-based model, then why can't we meet the large-scale need that's out there? We can't because one, there aren't enough doctors who can prescribe [drugs like methadone], and two, there are these artificial limits [by insurers] on who doctors can prescribe to.” PeopleIfsNeedsTwoDoneEnoughStudyDrugLimitsModelsStandardsResearchEvidenceDoctorsTreatsAddictionScalesTherapyArtificialDoctor WhoReplacementsLarge ScaleOpioidsResearch StudyMethadone Author:Patrick J.

“The good news is that, at least in economics, I've seen movement away from its overemphasis on mathematical models of purely rational behavior to a more eclectic and commonsense approach: research that is, among other things, more respectful of insights from psychology.” PsychologyMovementBehaviorApproachNewsModelsResearchEconomicsInsightRationalMathematicalGood NewsRespectfulEclecticMathematical Models Author:Robert J.
