A few of you have asked whether the author was meant to be anonymous and others who know me have said that I should give my background. I am a scientist by education, banker at JPMorgan for a few years, then mature PhD student in Chemical Biology at Oxford under the supervision of Christofer Schofield (FRS) and Peter Ratcliffe (Nobel laureate in medicine in 2019). Founder and tech investor focusing on media and education. I care about science, learning and Democracy which are good bedfellows.
Thank you for listening to your friends and for providing (at least) a semi-anonymous bio. It should be part of your "about this newsletter" page ...and if you truly care about those three things, you will understand the need for absolute transparency. You are performing acts of journalism with this newsletter; trust follows owning your words. Peace.
What exactly is the point of this rambling post? Btw SARS(disease) is not known as Sars-Cov-1 neither is Covid-19 known as Sars-cov-2. It is the viruses that cause the disease that are known as such.
