Daniel Okafor edits Technology and Science at Daybreak Wire. A lapsed engineer who never lost the habit of asking "how does it actually work?", he covers the tech industry with curiosity about the machines and skepticism about the marketing. On the science desk he is strict about uncertainty: preprints are labelled, sample sizes matter, and "breakthrough" is a word he deletes more often than he types. Daniel believes a good explainer respects the reader's intelligence and their time in equal measure.
