Examining the Reproducibility Crisis, Mask-Wearing Controversy, and Disagreements in Scientific FieldsMany of my articles are about practical risk management—the Bow-Tie model, how to define risk, etc. And that's valuable operational and tactical stuff, or at least I hope so. But every so often, I like to write about the strategic risks. Impractical ideas, perhaps, but I find them interesting, so I write about them.

Note: Just to be clear, I'm talking about the risk model, not the bird. :-) A quick refresher: Black Swan theo...| juliantalbot
