Fisher: statistics~eugenics "blurred line"

[MonkmanMH]

Twitter thread from @maryclare (twitter: @mcmcgriffin) starts strong, and just keeps building. I'm not sure how best to capture all of the content in the structure of this repo, though. https://twitter.com/mcmcgriffin/status/1271940745193275393?s=20

My main disagreements: (1) Fisher's worst beliefs were opposed to popular ideals when he held them (2) eugenics was core to Fisher's scientific work and career (3) removing his name from contemporary honors is not the same as reevaluating his contributions to the field. https://t.co/FOpRQJRt4y
