Every time I hit an academic paper online, I get ENRAGED. How can publicly funded research sit behind paywalls? I co-host a research podcast with a Canadian prof—and we still can’t access many of the papers we discuss. This is broken.

Make no mistake, we’re going to win. And they will all be held to account, from the henchmen to the autocrat himself.

If you, like me, are the parent of a neuro-atypical child dreading this autism press conference, please remember: These are the people hurting our kids. Not us. They are the ones stigmatizing and pathologizing them. They are the ones peddling untested science. And we should be very, very angry.

"Experts must prioritize building trust through regular engagement with the public. That means investing in new messengers, new formats, and new relationships. It means treating communication not as something to do once a report is complete, but as a core, ongoing component of the work itself."
For Expertise to Matter, Nonpartisan Institutions Need New Communications Strategies
To avoid irrelevance when they are needed most, experts and nonpartisan analysts must rethink not just their channels of communication but also their theory of influence.
