"The immunology behind the pandemic and, even more importantly, guidance to prevent severe disease, began to be lost in a sea of misinformation and deliberate disinformation, turning the pandemic into a political football. This led to confusion, and tragically, to decisions that unnecessarily increased morbidity and mortality. It is incumbent on us to understand what happened so we can be better prepared for future crises and, moreover, draw lessons for science communication more generally."

"The math is simple, even mind-numbingly obvious—a pathogenic n+1 that epidemiologists have seen coming since the pandemic’s earliest days.

" Tras varios encontronazos con la Iglesia y el régimen franquista, Llidó decidió marcharse a Chile, donde reforzó su compromiso con el pueblo y estableció relación con el presidente Salvador Allende, del que se cumplen 50 años de su muerte. Tras el golpe de Estado de Augusto Pinochet en 1973, fue detenido, torturado y asesinado por la dictadura, como sentenció un juez, si bien su cuerpo nunca se pudo recuperar. "

'The number of desaparecidos in Argentina at that stage has been calculated at 1,022. In October, at the Waldorf-Astoria hotel, Kissinger told Guzzetti, "the quicker you succeed the better." The steep and rapid climb into the tens of thousands was incited.'

"I include two guest lectures from my university’s librarians: one on literature searching and reference management, and one on “deep reading”. University librarians are, in my experience, eager to help with teaching; I strongly recommend involving them in a writing course (or, for that matter, in any other course)."
