Dude says if I were so smart, I would have written all this before but now I'm just signaling. So I wrote an article for Scientific American explaining all this in February—likely one of the first if not first instance of "flatting the curve" explained in a traditional outlet.https://twitter.com/jmrphy/status/1242961435665125376 …

So
@jmrphy I'll go find my January threads for you later but gotta go live on@chrislhayes show soon. I also just wrote an op-ed for the NYT challenging both CDC and the WHO on the science of masks, and I'm right. I'll get back to this later, mr. a day-late and a dollar-short.Show this thread -
But everything in that
@theAtlantic article is stuff I have been actively writing about for months in public venues. I can't solve chips on other people's shoulders. (Always the dilemma: either I produce receipts, which I find annoying, or some dude who can't google snarks.)Show this thread -
Anyway, thanks everyone for the nice feedback for
#inners. I've done interviews from abroad, on shaky connections, from middle of protests, tear gas whizzing past and all, but first time I did TV from home. It was terrifying! I was just hoping not to become a meme.Show this thread -
I'm just going to leave a few threads here and in the next tweet, and then some of my long-form work on this in the tweet after that. And then I'm done here. https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1220060968299966464 … https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1226993681116299265 … https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1223642155949993986 …https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1228707198265634818 …

Okay I'm bored with this.
@jmrphy says he left academia to research and teach—too bad he didn't learn to google before leaving.

Since your name is for most Anglophones hard-to-gender one is curious what your mentions would look like with a different/neutral profile pic.
