[Prof Francois Balloux @BallouxFrancois]

Those I consider to be real 'experts' don't tend to:

- claim to be experts
- rely on credentials (real or fake)
- push conspiracies
- monetise their views
- politicise everything
- never express doubt
- try to instil fear
- be always predictable
- take themselves too seriously

كل يوم انشر فيديو من يوم ٤ اب.يوم قتل بيروت وقتلنا وتفجيرنا. فقط لنتذكر اننا لن ننسى ولن نسامح ولن نتأقلم، وان الغضب كبير وسننتقم، وسنحاسبهم وسنقلب الطاولة على رؤوسهم.وحياة كل روح وكل حدا تآذى. لا تنسوا ولا تعودوا الى حياتكم الطبيعية قبل عودة بيروت وسوقهم الى قدرهم..مزابل التاريخ

[BBC News (World) @BBCWorld]

Nine firefighters and a paramedic were the first on the scene when a large fire was reported at a warehouse in Beirut

The team was unaware that almost 3,000 tonnes of ammonium nitrate was inside the building

The burden of financing adequate cancer care for Syrian refugees is substantial, but mostly "silent". Who will rise to the challenge? @r4hcmena @rimaabdulkhalek @pingguo1501 @SullivanProf @kchalkidou https://t.co/QUSIumqinv
