If methods are like cutlery, job specific, this suggests RCTs could be sporks

"by integrating behavioral science into formulating more specific theories of change and measuring a wide range of evidence-informed mechanisms, we will answer questions we did not even know to ask."

[Stanford Social Innovation Review @SSIReview]

“We must abandon our bias toward quantitative data as the only reliable source of truth in evaluations.” Jana Smith & Sara Flanagan @ideas42 recommend rethinking RCTs and using behavioral science to understand the decision-making to address social problems https://t.co/w8GN95DTTG

Does anyone have a favourite from this?

[Behavioral Scientist @behscientist]

Last week we published our annual Summer Book List. Some are squarely in the tradition of deepening a topic w/in behavioral science; others helped us think more expansively about what kinds of behavior we can learn from, and how we can study it. https://t.co/9sQpLxihPG
