@anthilemoon I just filled in the survey and these are way better than what I came up with. But no joke, Maker Mind is one of the only newsletters I actually look forward to receiving every week!

@sarahdryhurst @alex_freeman Hi Sarah! I'm writing a report on Covid-19 and people's perceptions of risk in the UK. Would you be willing to do an interview about your research & thoughts?

In November 1970, officials in Oregon, USA decided to blow up a rotting whale carcass. The whole thing went horribly wrong.

Why do we bring this up? Well, this story can teach us 3 things about #coronavirus ⬇️

Great analysis by @3r1nG looking at how the 'pandemic' video spread across social media. I especially like the link-based network graphs, showing how important YouTube currently is for conspiracy theories

@hettieveronica @jana_bacevic Excellent piece. Understanding the social & political context of science is crucial

Fantastic op-ed by the wonderful @jana_bacevic - "How science is turned into policy depends upon political and economic calculations, as well as on the moral and ideological commitments of politicians, political parties and policy advisers" 👏https://t.co/2bUOxVYNa3

@mancunianmedic Tough talk from the people whose idea of a great hardship in life is when their personal assistant forgets to get their fave suit pressed in time for their dinner reservation at nobu

@neeratanden @left_banksy I live in France. Our doctors and nurses are doing an amazing job.

Universal healthcare isn't the answer to everything, but it sure is handy in a pandemic
