Risk science is a science per se, but also multidisciplinary/interdisciplinary when applied - just like statistics

This is not how we define and understand risk and uncertainty in risk science, see for example the Society for Risk Analysis Glossary sra.org/risk-analysis-… SRA - Society for Risk Analysis If we have only risk when objective probability distributions can be obtained (in line with the

Assumptions – explicit and non-explicit (tacit) - represent a challenge in science, including risk science. The issue is discussed in the context of risk assessment in this paper: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Has not knowledge a value in itself? hm

Different scientific environments work with risk and uncertainty topics; here is a conference that mainly attracts economists and decision analysts with interest in mathematical and philosophical issues sites.google.com/site/rudconfer…

this book is interesting!

It is generally much more enjoyable to conduct research when it is based on your own ideas and specific projects

Fortunately we do not always have hard deadlines

I thought and hoped the tension between frequentists and subjectivists was over - as we need both frameworks
