Question

Imagine a researcher starting work on the obesity epidemic. In their previous work, they were an environmental activist who campaigned against the plastic industry. In their current literature review, they select 10 studies for further review, all of which are focused on plastic and obesity, setting aside the papers on the role of pesticides (which may sometimes be vectored through plastics). This example best represents which cognitive bias?

  1. Anthropomorphism
  2. Black and white thinking
  3. Clustering bias
  4. Confirmation Bias

Basic research is key to innovation, but has a funding problem. In terms of the quality of the science, which of the following is the best solution?

  1. Increase the public’s investment in basic research (e.g., individual taxes, tuition)
  2. Ask the beneficiaries of basic research (e.g., tech, industry, pharma) to directly fund research at universities
  3. Tax the beneficiaries of basic research (e.g., tech, industry, pharma) and distribute funds to basic research through an unaffiliated intermediary
  4. Demand that the beneficiaries of basic research (e.g., tech, industry, pharma) conduct more basic research within their organizations
