If you& #39;re a scientist posting or writing about science that isn& #39;t your area of expertise it& #39;s important to check in with an expert in that field that what you are saying is correct

There& #39;s a lot of pressure for those of us with bigger followings to use our platforms to raise specific topics. I personally try and avoid it and instead boost people that know what they& #39;re talking about.

If that means people judge me for not using my platform to speak about certain things then so be it. I& #39;m a scientist first + foremost and that means prioritising getting my facts straight, and making sure I don& #39;t mislead people into thinking I have expertise outside zoology.

If anyone was looking for my take on coronavirus: I& #39;m as confused and uncertain as the rest of you, other than about the fact vaccines are safe and effective.
