synthesis of all public goods research that is not currently in a form that policy makers can use.
Michael DEVLIN: If you want to try your hand at writing policy synthesis summaries, OK. We are planning to write 200 policy syntheses….from science papers and reports. Web sit – sci4D.org
For the past 40 years, Public money has financed scientific research by universities and international centres, like the ones where I worked – to produce things like new crop varieties (cold heat and drought tolerant, disease resistant, higher yielding, farming practices, environmental management approaches, and medicines for diseases in poor countries where there is no market and incentive to produce new research. All this is buried in projects and forgotten when they end. It is hidden in hundreds of peer reviewed research papers, but rarely translated into useful products that a country can use.
