How I handle evidence, uncertainty, and disease stories

The work here keeps outbreak reporting, historical argument, and epidemiologic explanation separate enough that readers can see what kind of claim is being made.

Publication archive

The essay archive keeps longform writing connected to topic hubs, reference pages, and interactive maps, so a reader can move from an argument to the surrounding disease ecology.

Live desk

The Pathogen Dispatch follows current outbreak reporting with visible source links, caveats, and separate story files for major public-health signals.

Atlas evidence policy

Atlas geometry and route claims are treated as arguments that need evidence. Visuals help readers inspect the ecology, but they do not stand in for proof.
