On #InternationalWomensDay, I wrote a piece commemorating Avis Waterman, the forgotten war correspondent of The Times. Appointed Milan Correspondent in May 1915, during 1915-17 she was attached to the Italian army & reported about the fighting between Italy & Austria-Hungary in the Trentino and on the Isonzo.

After #WWI she fell into oblivion & died impoverished & lonely in Paris in 1939.

When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.
If it surprises you, it’s information. If it confirms your bias, it’s entertainment. If it makes you hate your neighbor, it’s a weapon.

The first wave of tech made information free.
The second made attention scarce.
The third makes reality optional.
