My favorite interview ever
I have a lot of new readers lately, and this is a pretty good introduction to my work.

I'm listening to this interview right now, fascinating history about your Ph.D. The discussion about the mathematical models used in Covid. Back in 2020 when everything was going down, I looked up who this Neil Ferguson dude was who predicted 2.2 million people dead in the US alone. I pretty quickly stumbled into the information about people critical of his work on earlier 'epidemics' (like Foot & Mouth disease) and found he and his models were quite incorrect. I found scholarly articles that were highly critical of his methodology, but none of that seemed to deter politicians from reacting to his fear-porn-math-models.
I posted articles about this to Facebook at the time and just heard crickets. People were already in the trance of Covid. Around the same time while looking at what was going on in Italy, I noticed that the area that seemed highly affected by Covid was the northern Po valley region, with central and southern Italy relatively unaffected. That seemed rather odd to me. So little old me, I found articles going back a few years showing that this same Po Valley region had the worst air pollution in all of Europe, and they were having thousands of people dying a year in that region from the effects of this industrial pollution. And then suddenly there's a supposed respiratory virus and now everyone is suddenly concerned. I even posted several graphics I made overlaying satellite imagery of the pollution (it's that bad it's clearly visible from space) and with covid cases counts showing up daily and they were nearly a perfect match. Turns out Wuhan also had profoundly terrible air and industrial pollution. A year later a paper came out that looked specifically at the correlation between the air pollution and covid cases.
