Dewey Murdick, director of CSET, discusses how the organization has brought a new level of rigor to hot topics ranging from chips to immigration and AI safety policy.

We also discuss:

  • CSET's Map of Science and the fate of Google Scholar
  • Being beholden to the checkbooks of funders
  • Topics that make policymakers' eyes roll - but shouldn't
  • The optimal employment conditions for growing temperate, nice, low-ego, tasty fruit
