EDIT: Thanks so much for your questions! I truly enjoyed answering them, but I need to run now. Stay vigilant and continue to seek evidenced-based advice.

Hi Reddit, I'm Nsikan Akpan, a science editor at National Geographic covering the COVID-19 outbreak. I hold a Ph.D. in pathobiology (a field devoted to studying the basic mechanisms of disease) from Columbia University, where I studied neurological disorders. My academic history also involves research on infectious disease, and at one point, I worked as a science writer for a virologist who consulted on the movie Contagion. Ask me anything about how a major news outlet handles an outbreak like coronavirus, but in a science-focused way.

And here’s where you can read all the stories we’ve done so far at National Geographic about COVID-19 (which can now be accessed freely by everyone): https://on.natgeo.com/2WfJ2Th
