Iris Okafor
Iris Okafor is the editorial identity for TellingPointy's Science desk, following research, space, climate, energy, and discovery with evidence at the centre. Okafor's desk examines study design, sample size, uncertainty, replication, and the difference between a preprint, a peer-reviewed result, and a settled scientific view. The aim is not to drain discovery of wonder, but to show readers exactly what is known, how it is known, and what remains open.
