The personas have to paper specific I believe, addressing the content and methods. I guess an LLM could do a once over of the paper or meta-analysis to determine the best discipline specific personas - but would be interesting to test that.

I don't think this is new. When I moved from Australia to America in 1992, I was struck by the much greater identification with cultural ideas rather than wealth and class compared to Australia in the 1980s and '90s. I was attacke
