Other Researchers
Here are some links to academics who I think everyone should know about.
James Fowler. James is doing groundbreaking research on biology and politics. He does a lot of other things too. A political scientist who publishes in Nature, The New England Journal of Medicine, The Proceedings of The National Academy of Sciences as well as the top poli sci journals is worth checking out.
Jeff Gill. Jeff is a methodologist and one of the most creative thinkers on how to apply math and stats to political and policy questions. His book on math for social scientists is highly recommended for those coming into grad school with a typical poli sci liberal arts background. His research is recommended to everybody.
Rob Kurzban. Rob is an evolutionary psychologist doing some of the most fascinating laboratory studies on human behavior in any discipline.
Paul Zak. . Paul Zak is one of the pioneers of neuroeconomics. Pretty much anything with his name in the list of authors is worth reading.
