Honestly a lot of historians could stand to be reminded of this lesson as well, for both primary and secondary sources. There are a lot things that continue to get recycled past their use-by date or simply added again to recipes for which there are much better ingredients out there. 🧐

I wish more journalists wld follow Ed Yong's approach here. I think he hits on a big problem in communicating the complexity of public health challenges: recycling of the same experts. So many bright ppl across a range of areas that the public needs to hear from. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddy5...

Ed Yong quote from the linked YouTube video: “In every single piece I had a rule for myself that half the ppl I talked to had to be someone who I'd never talked to bf. There was a consistent problem throughout a lot of pandemic reporting where people would keep on going back to the same sources again and again and again and again which not only narrows the number of perspectives that you get but also makes you incredibly vulnerable if any one of those people happens to be full of shit."
