Good questions deserve a full answer.
What I do
I research public questions, write about what the evidence can and cannot show, make documentary work, and build small open tools that make careful work easier.
- ResearchPublic-interest questions, especially in Bangladesh, traced back to the record.
- WritingEssays and explainers that say what the evidence shows — and where it stops.
- DocumentaryScripts and presenting, built to be understood on first hearing.
- ProjectsLarger independent work, from news formats to community platforms.
