Huh? What are the good points? It's very cringey presentation!

First slides trying to sound sciency about a political topic. You can't use statistics as objective tool for political decisions - the questions you ask are already biased, see for example slide "% of women in theory". There is (super weak) negative correlation between gender index and women in fundamental theory. So what? If you chose a different subfield it might come out differently! Cherry picking at its best. "I'm evidence-based" lol, the fake paper about chocolate helping weight-loss is as well!

Statistics is probably the most valuable tool for creating policy, the aim of politics. What else do you propose we use to make decisions about interfering with stochastic processes over diverse populations?
