statistics translation project?

I had a wide-ranging conversation today with former NYU undergraduate Hilary Gao. One thing we discussed is the idea that physicists (and biologists, chemists, and so on) know a lot about statistics and evidence, and yet often find it hard to understand social-science research (like the epidemiology around Coronavirus and the data around race and policing, for two contemporary examples). This is (in my opinion) partly because the social-science literature involves aspects of causal inference that are fundamental, but don't appear in the same form in the natural sciences. We discussed what it would take to usefully write about or intervene into this quasi-translation project.
