Pro tip: As science reporters grapple with a new round of natural origins vs. lab leak pieces, I'd really urge you to consider the handy 'nut test' in weighing your expert source's reliability before presenting them to readers.

Tonight on PBS NewsHour I talk with Katherine J. Wu, Ph.D. about the new evidence that strongly supports the theory that #COVID19 had an natural origin.

Hi, hello. I have some ✨professional news ✨I’ve joined the Mexico City bureau of the The New York Times, helping to cover Central America, the Caribbean and my own country.

Super excited about this new challenge. And proud to work with this insanely talented team of kick-ass reporters.

I’m a health reporter. Last year my colleague suggested I check out this nonprofit that’s trying to save rainforests & I thought, well, I don’t cover trees. 🌳

Then a pandemic prevention expert also mentioned the group.

Now I was paying attention.

The fates of dogs—bred and adapted to work, play, and lounge at our side—are tied to ours. And the canines we leave behind when crises strike could show us what it takes to survive the fallout of our gravest mistakes, Katherine J. Wu, Ph.D. writes: on.theatln.tc/YXpY4KP
