@phoeb0 @inigo_weston She may not be your target market, but my four year old simply loved that and is now reading about dung beetles with the help of her older sister.
Fascinating read. twitter.com/mugecevik/stat…
@MartinSFP The fact that the reporting is coming from a tech reporter not a science one tends to concern me, too. This sort of story really needs the specialist eye.
@RBanningLover @FinancialTimes @hannahsarney @JasminDhillon__ @nandabraune @elimeixler @leartvuch @manib0g @HennessyKesewa @lilahrap @paytesy89 Congrats!
This is interesting. (h/t @MattNavarra) digiday.com/future-of-tv/y…
After three mildly stressful days, the results of the PCR jury are in: and I’m clean.
(I was asked to take a test as part of a research study, not because I was symptomatic.) t.co/xIzsEBVq4…

My four year old daughter has just declared that I am the leader of all journalism in the world, and my wife is the leader of all science.
We have accepted this honour and would like to reassure you that our reign will be benevolent.
@EstherKeziaT @kevglobal Be braced for the experience of having people unsub just after you send the email. It’s brutal when it starts happening. @JosephStash warned me of this, back in the day.
@Nicola_Slawson @jess_denham Ugh. Sympathies to you both. This scheme seems unduly finicky and is failing too many already.
Sadly, a sense of responsibility proportionate with size of influence does not come as standard with online fame. twitter.com/risj_oxford/st…
Listening to the Independent Sage group talking online, once again I’m struck by how willing the truly smart are to say “I don’t know” or “we don’t know”.
More of this, please. youtu.be/cFLAwZeNfxE
This is why something like @IndependentSage is so important: there is so much we don’t know about the pandemic and the virus. Highlighting those gaps in knowledge - and disagreements on the science - can help us all navigate this crisis. twitter.com/ashcowburn/sta…

@ricmac I admire the way @jjn1 has reformatted his blog for daily delivery by email, while still being perfectly viable as a blog: memex.naughtons.org
@ricmac To a certain degree, having a blog delivered as a newsletter, or a newsletter archived in a blog-like fashion gives you the best of both worlds, perhaps?
Generally not a huge fan of Nietzsche, but in thinking about social media and how you should behave and spend you time there, this remains ever-useful:
”Battle not with monsters lest ye become a monster. And if you gaze into the abyss the abyss also looks into you.”
One of the fundamental problems with this whole situation is an unwillingness by elements of the media, politicians and even individuals to communicate uncertainty, debate and absence of knowledge. Unfortunately, #COVIDー19 is a situation rife with them. We need to up our game.

@darrenwaters There are parents of children at my daughters’ school with a phone - and that’s it.
Oh, dear. Here’s a piece advising SEOs to use fact check markup for marketing purposes. This is why we can’t have nice things.
