Being a scientific expert is so 2021. Everyone is transitioning to being a military tactician / Eastern Europe political guru.

So in March 2020 we all became epidemiologists, now we're all Kissinger-level geopolitical strategists... but what were we in 2019? I forgot 🤔🤔🤔

I am, most seriously, NOT an expert. That is why I listen TO THE EXPERTS for my scientific information, instead of googling things and watching YouTube videos and then assuming I have stumbled upon some secret information that all the experts missed.

How do you access expert information without googling things and watching YouTube videos?

The NYT is a for profit corporation, not a scientific organization.
