What I’ve been doing for the #COVID19 crisis this past few weeks is compiling information. Literature review, compilation of existing efforts, and some coordination/outreach/technical writing work for a project to build & donate low-cost non-invasive ventilators.

I’m finding that there’s a ton of *volume of talk* about COVID19 and not nearly enough aggregation and synthesis. I’m almost done with a project to comprehensively list all the charitable projects to make & donate PPE to healthcare workers. There’s nothing out there like this.

There’s a fair amount of medical literature out there, also, and very little *synthesis* into answers to questions.

I don’t know a word for the thing I do. I’m not a doctor; I’m not a nurse; I’m not an engineer. I’m a...writer?

I don’t want the name of the job to also be a compliment; that means it can’t become a standard, expected job.

I was jumping off of http://www.paulgraham.com/essay.html with some attempt to revive the early meaning; which I think became a compliment in a standard case of job title inflation.
