Interesting stories should make their evidence easier to understand.
Sources and Uncertainty
We use source reporting to identify topics and look for primary research, official mission reports, museum records, and other direct evidence where available. A news headline is a starting point, not proof of every interpretation.
We label provisional findings, estimates, preprints, and disputed ideas. A hypothesis is not presented as a confirmed discovery. Article dates and source links help readers check the context.
Writing and Editorial Review
Our content workflow includes AI-assisted drafting and editing. Automated tools do not replace source verification or editorial judgment. Articles are prepared as drafts for review, and factual or wording errors can still occur.
Bylines and Images
Peter Mush is the editorial byline used on this website. The author portrait is a generated illustration, not a photograph documenting a real contributor. A byline or portrait does not establish scientific or medical credentials.
Image captions identify observations, artist concepts, archival illustrations, artifacts, and contextual photographs. We retain source and license information for licensed images. A context image does not prove an event took place.
Corrections
If a statement, caption, or link is wrong, send the article URL, the disputed passage, and a reliable source through our correction form. We review the information and revise where appropriate. A substantive correction should explain what changed in the article.
Editorial Independence
Advertising, when present, does not establish the truth of an article. Sponsored material and commercial relationships should be disclosed clearly. External recommendations are not a substitute for your own assessment.
