oh wow, I covered the PA health dept while at Spotlight PA in 2020 and didn't know this background. Her "my mask protects you, your mask protects me" slogan, mentioned at what felt like every press conference, had a big big impact on me

one of my funniest experiences there was being asked to run an analysis in "any language other than R" bc editors wanted to see if some results were the same recreated another way. so I set it up in python and it checked out and then we published. should it have been peer reviewed formally? 🤷‍♂️

I don't love it, but I do think the methods section at the bottom of the article shows a good faith effort. I think this is a case of journo demands (pace + novelty) just clashing w academic publishing norms
