I'm pretty new to Wikipedia, so please forgive any instances where I've deviated from accepted practice (and let me know, I'd love to learn). I read Koerth-Baker's work regularly, and I thought her Wikipedia page needed expanding, so I did it. Much of the material is garnered from publicity sources, so I'd like to rephrase it to make it sound more encyclopedic, but I figured this was a decent enough start. I'd like to see more detail about the subjects of her writing and her views - she advocates careful consideration of big science news, as it's usually not as dramatic as the initial claims seem.Xephyrous (talk) 00:33, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
As of April 2023, Maggie Koerth is no longer working at fivethirtyeight- according to her own announcement here- Are someone's own tweets a proper source for this sort of info? I don't want to update someone's bio without proper citations. Purplecat (talk) 17:52, 19 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
