While great advancements have
been made in the hard sciences, BWU has hardly ignored the exploration of the
human condition from a scientific point of view.
Perhaps the greatest advance in the social sciences today has been the utilization
of AIs in psycho-social research. The widespread deployment of Civility Memes™
throughout the New York City datasphere sprang from BWU’s contribution to
a Mayor’s Task Force, and ended in a 43% drop in vandalism and a 28% decrease
in hate crimes over a six month period. In the days—or sometimes even weeks—before
discovery, robot ethnographers have given us priceless insights into the workings
of East Asian gangs, the Anti-Robot Militia, and the Amway Cargo Cults of rural
Vermont.
Modeling and simulations is another area in which BWU social scientists excel.
Researchers from our Weisbaden campus not only predicted the bribery scandal at
the 2120 World Cup, but provided a damage estimate from the resulting riots accurate
to within 4%.
BWU political scientists are constantly evaluating the ways we govern ourselves.
Should the rumored Mann Act II be passed by the US Senate, you can be sure that
BWU pollsters, pundits, and theorists will be there to tell us what the public
ought to think, and why.
In the realm of the psyche, Wiesbaden-developed Instantaneous
Rumination Aversion Therapies have proven by far the most
effective drug-free intervention to combat depression.
These are all examples of how BWU’s approach to interdisciplinary excellence
has made the sum of the parts more than the whole.
