"Now is a great time for us all to remember that we're in a novel situation w/evolving data. Recommendations and guidance change…bc they must. Calling scientists hypocritical bc we've evolved w/ the new info does us all a disservice. We've got to lean into the changes to improve"

Dr.Saskia Popescu tweets about how changing recommendations from scientists should not be seen as hypocritical

Analysis of Dr.Saskia Popescu's tweet

It's possible that because of ever-changing information and data, scientists are seen as less credible when they suggest new recommendations which are then ignored or lost. The focus is on the contradiction. 

Hypothesis of Dr.Saskia Popescu's tweet

This issue seems to be a communication problem between scientists and the public, which is not the main problem 1Cademy is trying to tackle. More should be focused on scientist to scientist communication.
