      I get this a lot, I'm gonna say this. This was my career before the pandemic (that's a profile from 2018). I'm super proud of my efforts past year, but all of it was a huge *risk* for me, at a moment when I was more than comfortable in my existing career. https://www.chronicle.com/article/meet-the-professor-whos-warning-the-world-about-facebook-and-google/ … https://twitter.com/tonypalumbi/status/1381250410309021701 …pic.twitter.com/ygVHQbohFR

      I'm already tenured, honored to have had a chance to contribute, had next year's (visiting for now) move to Columbia U already in place and *delayed* by the pandemic. Say whatever else you want about me writing as an outsider, but no, it wasn't an effort to boost my career, lol.

      I *do* get an enormous amount of constant push-back that's a version of "how dare you write about all this!". Fine, that's part of writing for the public, and I'll let my pandemic record answer that question. But the idea that it's some career move is, frankly, absurd. ktxbye 😁

          I will say again that your writing during the pandemic gave me hope, direction, and helped keep me sane.

          Between you and @edyong209, getting an Atlantic subscription was easily the best money I've spent during the pandemic.

          Exactly! @zeynep, @edyong209, and @DKThomp have been the "Pandemic Trifecta"!

          Your tweets today: 1.Reporters cannot get it right no matter how long correct information has been available. 2. So proud of my work criticizing the changes which challenge the status of reporters as gatekeepers of Truth.

          Would it matter if it was? If you have the skills and knowledge to provide useful insight who cares why you're doing it. Why did the pharma companies make the vaccines?
