In 2020, I joined what I believe to have been the most important and impactful science communication project I’ve ever had the pleasure of being involved with. We called it Independent Sage, and we’ve written about it here. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Our director @susanmichie.bsky.social co-authored an article just published in @natureportfolio.bsky.social about the experiences of @independentsage.bsky.social communicating scientific research, with important learnings for future crisis situations. 🔗 Read the article: rdcu.be/d3n6s

"Scientists need to recognize that bold presentation, dissemination, and support of scientific knowledge has become both a basic commitment and a political act." 👏👏👏

I'm very proud to have written this 2022 @sciam.bsky.social piece with @tetherin.bsky.social and @lewan.bsky.social. Although the cases for a) Lab Leakerdom as conspiracism & b) the pandemic as zoonotic have only grown stronger, it still holds up well! www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-...
