A photo of Julia Kubanek with advice on how to read scientific journal articles. The advice reads the following: "When you’re reading a scientific article in an area that is new to you, do NOT assume that the authors are way smarter than you.

But you can look up essential facts and words as you go, and build your own understanding of a paper, even outside of your area of expertise.", A photo of Jennifer Leavey with text that reads: "How do you find reliable news sources? 'It's easy to get misled by headlines. Well-written news pieces use a variety of primary sources including quotes from experts, original scientific publications, and information provided from government agencies.'", A photo of Greg Gibson with text that reads: "Serum antibodies generally first appear a week to 10 day after infection, and then persist albeit with some decline for at least 6 months, and remain neutralizing in the majority of people.", A picture of students on campus with text that reads: "How many Covid-19 cases are asymptomatic among college students?
