Academic rigor, journalistic flair
Welcome to Sunday! Our top five articles of the week are listed below.
For months, experts have encouraged mask wearing as a way to protect those
around us from COVID-19. Several weeks ago, we published an article by Monica
Gandhi of UC San Francisco presenting evidence that masks also protect the
wearer by limiting the amount of virus they breathe in. If you’re not among the
half a million people who’ve already read this reassuring piece, it’s worth a
read today <https://theconversationus.cmail19.com/t/r-l-jkuhjdjy-ojkuikljir-t/>

refuses to accept defeat in November, the republic will survive intact, as it
has 5 out of 6 times in the past

Kamala Harris, Americans yet again have trouble understanding what multiracial
means
Jennifer Ho, University of Colorado Boulder
While the debates about Kamala Harris’ multiraciality may seem new, they are
similar to the commentary other high-profile mixed-race people in the US have
received about their racial identities.

I’m a public health researcher, and I’m dismayed that the CDC’s missteps are
causing people to lose trust in a great institution
Catherine Lynne Troisi, University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston
The CDC has long been a trusted source of health information, keeping the
public not only safe but calm in times of disease outbreaks. Public health
officials fear now for its reputation.

Joe Kennedy III challenges Ed Markey in 2020’s weirdest primary race
Robert Boatright, Clark University
(This article was written before Tuesday's victory by Markey)

incumbents who aren't embroiled in scandal rarely, if ever, lose. So what's
Kennedy's calculation?
