      Hello! A lot of you have started following me in the last couple of months, so let me introduce you to some people I respect, who've created some of the pandemic writing that's really stuck with me.

      I keep thinking about this haunting first-person account from @DrHelenOuyang of how the pandemic swept through NY hospitals, juxtaposed against similar experiences in Lombardy. It's an *incredible* feat of writing.https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/14/magazine/coronavirus-er-doctor-diary-new-york-city.html …

      There are few people I would've trusted to do a big piece on coronavirus and climate change. @meehancrist is on the top of a short list, and she utterly delivers here. Thoughtful, sweeping, forward-looking.https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/27/opinion/sunday/coronavirus-climate-change.html …

      Are any reporters on the infectious disease beat more respected than @helenbranswell? I doubt it. Her interview with CDC director Robert Redfield still lingers in the mind, but just read anything she writes.https://www.statnews.com/2020/04/04/an-interview-with-the-cdc-director-on-coronavirus-masks-and-an-agency-gone-quiet/ …

      .@maggiekb1 is the god of the "this ostensibly simple thing is way more complicated than you think, but let me walk you through it" explainer. Here she is on why it's so hard to build a good COVID-19 model.https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/why-its-so-freaking-hard-to-make-a-good-covid-19-model/ …

      .@sarahzhang is one of the most formidable science writers working today. This story on the various options for creating an anti-covid drug is great, and just read all her stories on treatments and antibody testing.https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2020/04/what-coronavirus-drug-will-look-like/609661/ …

      .@lizneeley's piece on how to talk about the coronavirus draws on her very deep knowledge of the science of science communication. It's a north star for all the difficult conversations ahead.https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/03/how-talk-about-coronavirus/609118/ …

      .@zeynep is a formidable thinker and has written so many pieces that have shaped how I've thought about the pandemic. This one on what models mean is great; so are all the rest.https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2020/04/coronavirus-models-arent-supposed-be-right/609271/ …

      🙏🙏 Means a lot coming from you. (And I am still appreciative that you wrote that amazing piece on giraffes before diving back into all this!)
