Hypothesis 2 (solution) of Steven Nono tweet 

It’s not clear if Nono is referring to scientific communication of COVID-19 research to the public or to other researchers. Is he suggesting that journals are not the best venue for communicating to other researchers (because research is “being lost in the sea of journal publication”) which is why “front-facing researchers” are needed? Or are front-facing researchers simply for communicating science to the public?
