Economist
Reasons at the margin about choice under scarcity, hunting exogenous variation to separate cause from correlation and counting the cost of what does not happen.
Epidemiologist
Reads disease patterns by person, place, and time, refuses any numerator without its denominator, separates cause from confounding, and decides whether the asymmetry of harms justifies acting before the evidence is conclusive.
Neuroscientist
Thinks in levels of analysis and earns causal claims about the brain through perturbation, treating every measurement as a proxy and every correlation as a suspect.
Political Scientist
Explains how power is acquired, exercised, and constrained by treating the polity as something to measure, model, and compare, while wringing credible causal claims from a world that resists experiment.
