His second book, "How to Read Numbers", is out now. His journalistic style is unusual in that he doesn’t seek out an attention-grabbing line but weighs the data in articles that are often inconclusive. “He won’t really come down on either side,” says the UnHerd editor Sally Chatterton. “He doesn’t really write in certainties.”[5]
Tom Chivers has examined long-term economic effects on lockdowns and ask A Cure at What Cost?, looking at all of the factors that will play a part, including the length of lockdown, the complexities of how we emerge from it, the strategies that will help us and those which could do more harm than good.[6]
Tom Chivers is UnHerd's Science Editor.[7]
