#58b Avoided emissions thanks to Tech: the Vinted use case with Laetitia Bornes - Part 2
Why is the model of a Nobel prize winner not necessarily good science? What is “good” modelling? Is access to information enough to change a system behavior?
This episode is the second part of a long interview with Laetita Bornes, a Doctor in Human-Computer Interaction, Systems Engineering and Systemic Design who is one of the co-authors of a research paper investigating the claims made by the second hand digital platform Vinted about the avoided carbon emissions thanks to its operations. As presented in the first part, their findings were surprising, enlightening for the IT sector and nuanced!
In this second part, Gaël Duez and Laetitia Bornes moved away from the Vinted use case and discussed modelling, the scientific method and Systems Thinking in general. You can enjoy this discussion without having listened to the first episode however we would suggest you do so to enjoy all the references, especially to the Vinted study. Among the topics covered in this second part are:
- An impressive transparency exercise about the limit of the model used for the Vinted use case,
- Why models are “wrong” and how to still use them purposefully,
- Why a Nobel prize modeling in his lab without publishing isn’t doing science (yet),
- Access to information and its connection to the four main categories of leverage points,
- The concept of protopia,
And much more!
