I was asked by the Western Social Science Association to write about a "myth" that prevails about my profession, political science. Here is what I wrote for the Spring 2013 Newsletter of the WSSA. Basically, political scientists are very, very, very rarely politicians themselves. Rather, they attempt to apply scientific principles to the study of politics.
