Jade’s Harvard
identification photo
My
scientist is Jade D’alpoim Guesdes. She is currently a candidate for a PhD at
Harvard Universities’ Anthropology department. I choose my scientist due to the
fact that she had just published a paper within the last month on an issue that
I was interested in. Her latest paper was a critique on is poverty passed down
by the generations. The title of the piece is “is poverty our genes?” Jade is a
very interesting scientist researching social tough topics.
By
reading d’Aloin Guedes’s thoughts on the casual link between the degree of
genetic heterogeneity, I have decided that there is no such link, due to the
fact that the original paper misused scientific terminology, had factual
errors, and their theory was flawed with robust data. I also found out about
how assuming conclusions in the scientific community, leads to colleagues
bashing in your work. Another thing that was interesting was how harshly the
critique was on Asharaf and Galors work calling it: “false and undesirable” (77).
She used their textual evidence against them, which made the reading very
entertaining. d’Aloin Guedes is a interesting scientist on the upward swing.
If
I had the chance to ask my scientist questions about their thoughts, I would
ask the following
·
How can you be certain there is no correlation
between diversity and economic prosperitities?
·
Do you feel remorse for destroying another’s
work, and credibility?
·
Why did you decide to critique Asharef
and Galor’s work?
·
What makes you better informed than Asharef
and Galor who wrote the original paper?
·
You made a point to talk about political
repercussions; do you actually feel that their research could be used in a
negative way?
