That is interesting to hear. Some aspects of the overviews are of course going to be more familiar to domain experts.
Just wanted to make a quick note that I also felt the “overview” style posts aren’t very useful to me (since they mostly encapsulate things I already had thought about)
At some point I was researching some aspects of nuclear war, and reading up on a GCRI paper that was relevant, and what I found myself really wishing was that the paper had just drilled deep into whatever object level, empirical data was available, rather than being a high level summary.
Thanks, that makes sense. This is one aspect in which audience is an important factor. Our two recent nuclear war model papers (on the probability and impacts) were written to be accessible to wider audiences, including audiences less familiar with risk analysis. This is of course a factor for all research groups that work on topics of interest to multiple audiences, not just GCRI.
