    • How well can social scientists predict societal change, and what processes underlie their predictions? To answer these questions, we ran two forecasting tournaments testing the accuracy of predictions of societal change in domains commonly studied in the social sciences: ideological preferences, political polarization, life satisfaction, sentiment on social media, and gender-career and racial bias. After we provided them with historical trend data on the relevant domain, social scientists submitted pre-registered monthly forecasts for a year (Tournament 1; N = 86 teams and 359 forecasts), with an opportunity to update forecasts on the basis of new data six months later (Tournament 2; N = 120 teams and 546 forecasts). Benchmarking forecasting accuracy revealed that social scientists' forecasts were on average no more accurate than those of simple statistical models (historical means, random walks or linear regressions) or the aggregate forecasts of a sample from the general public (N = 802). However, scientists were more accurate if they had scientific expertise in a prediction domain, were interdisciplinary, used simpler models and based predictions on prior data. How accurate are social scientists in predicting societal change, and what processes underlie their predictions? Grossmann et al. report the findings of two forecasting tournaments. Social scientists' forecasts were on average no more accurate than those of simple statistical models.

  • Novel Technologies for Recombinant Protein Overexpression in Escherichia coli
  • 2006
  • Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • The use of recombinant protein is a cornerstone in many structural and functional studies. The enteric bacterium Escherichia Coli is the most commonly used organism for producing recombinant proteins. E. coli has several advantages over other expression hosts, but also one major disadvantage - the protein of interest does not always adopt its native conformation. Instead the protein might form large insoluble aggregates, inclusion bodies, within the cell. In particular, the heterologous overexpression of eukaryotic and membrane proteins are troublesome. In this thesis, methods are described that can be used to increase the likelihood of overexpressing eukaryotic proteins as well as membrane proteins. In particular, a novel method is described that can distinguish between bacterial colonies expressing soluble proteins from those expressing inclusion bodies. The method utilizes the fact that inclusion bodies are of a considerable size and can be removed by filtration. Using this screening method in combination with methods that alter the physical properties of proteins, we have shown that the likelihood of overexpression in E. coli can be dramatically increased.
