If you read one of the latest print issues of Science, you'll see CPAS Senior Lecturer Dr Ehsan Nabavi and colleagues' book review on "The responsibility turn: Lessons from the COVID-19 pandemic inspire a guide to recognising the politics of modelling."  

Mathematical modellers have traditionally considered politics irrelevant to their practice, arguing that their work represents objective science, the implications of which are determined by others’ use of it. However, this perspective has evolved as researchers have incorporated insights from science and technology studies to explore modelling beyond its technical aspects. The recent book The Politics of Modelling, edited by Andrea Saltelli and Monica Di Fiore, represents such an endeavour. Read the full review here. 

For more context, listen to Ehsan's conversation with Andrea Saltelli on ABC, where they discuss the politics of modelling and the future of modelling in public policy issues, especially post-COVID.  Listen to the podcast here.
