I'm nominating this article for the Rosen Prize in explanatory writing. Rules for awarding the prize combine three factors: clarity in explanation, yes, but also underlying complexity of the thing being explained, AND urgency of the subject to the public.https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2020/09/k-overlooked-variable-driving-pandemic/616548/ …

As is usually the case with women, many assume I merely "translate" what some experts are telling me. Lol. The experts don't agree; the papers are preliminary, and the knowledge is emerging. I'm not a good writer! Not my native language. It's my synthesis that's doing the work.

I read all the papers; I judge the methods, findings and statistics; I judge the expert proclamations and discard a whole amount because I judge them wrong; I put implications of many different findings together and I make claims on where the science is... It's not "translating."
