We recently published an article in Nature Protocols about our experiences communicating science. This article summarises the part of the article relating to the learning points from our development.
At a time when government leadership seemed to lack seriousness, Independent SAGE provided a confidence-building sense of connection, questioning and varied expertise. I remain grateful for your efforts.
In my opinion the name "Independent SAGE" was a very good name because that the time Boris Johnson was the Prime Minister and Boris tells as many lies as Trump.
The SAGE group that Boris had wasn't independent because it was led by a political person (whose name I've forgotten but he's the one who drive his car to a castle in a lock down in order to test his eye sight), so the SAGE that Boris was had was most definitely not to be trusted.
Some politicians might not like the fact that people shouldn't trust politicians who are famous for lying but that's what you get when politicians repeatedly tell lies. Perhaps politicians shouldn't tell lies and should get upset when people don't trust them.
Independent SAGE did a wonderful job during the pandemic. Here they examine what worked and what didn't work. Thank you so much Sir David King and friends. (I've tried to share via Facebook, but it won't 'take'.)
Excellent self reflection. My avid listening to you and your colleagues at 1:30 most Fridays not only informed me but had a role in keeping me sane during the government's meandering indecision, obfuscation and VIP lane thieving. Thank you.

So "Independent SAGE" was definitely a good name.

Thank you so much, for Independent SAGE and for this reflection on it - really valuable.
