New research in PNAS Nexus reveals that AI like GPT4 can simplify scientific writing, improving public understanding of science and perceptions of scientists. When AI crafts lay summaries, readers grasp content better and view scientists as more credible. doi.org/10.1093/pnasne…

When compared to scientist-written summaries, lay summaries of PNAS papers generated by GPT-4 were linguistically simpler and when read by laypeople, study authors were seen by laypeople as more credible and trustworthy—but less intelligent. In PNAS Nexus: ow.ly/PC5i50Twy4A

Many Americans have math anxiety, but numbers may be engaging for climate science. As Ellen Peters and I write in a recent piece for Scientific American, climate messengers might use numbers to attract attention and engage on social media. scientificamerican.com/article/number…

Numbers Are Persuasive—If Used in Moderation Despite high levels of innumeracy and math anxiety, people often appreciate numeric data Many thanks to @daisyyuhas and Dave Nussbaum who provided fantastic advice on this new piece with Dave Markowitz in Scientific American

Is it better or worse to communicate with numbers given high levels of innumeracy and math anxiety? In a new Scientific American piece with Dave Markowitz, we argue that people often appreciate numeric data University of Oregon UO Journalism & Comm scientificamerican.com/article/number…

It's called expert testimony, people.

Simulating human behavior with AI agents promises a testbed for policy and the social sciences. We interviewed 1,000 people for two hours each to create generative agents of them. These agents replicate their source individuals’ attitudes and behaviors. 🧵arxiv.org/abs/2411.10109
