So, I felt personally compelled in the case of Zika, and the confusing coverage it has seen, to offer to personally help.

​Which aspect of the coverage are you referring to as confusing?​
 
I can run queries, test hypotheses, and help publish data that could back up articles.  Privacy of our editors is of course still obviously protected, but that's easier to do in a specific case with human review than in the general case.

​​I'm up for brainstorming about what we can do and helping. Please keep me in the loop. In general, given that a big chunk of our traffic comes from Google at the moment, it would be great to work with the researchers in Google involved in Google's health related initiatives to produce complementary knowledge to what Google can already tell about Zika (for example, this). I'll reach out to the few people I know to get some more information.
Depending on what complementary knowledge we want to produce, working with WikiProject Medicine can be helpful, too.
