Our Mission

At the TCD Chronicle, we do not feign expertise, nor do we pretend to be capable of making predictions. We merely observe, analyze, and every now and then we raise a question. We try and spot high quality information. In doing so, we are careful with the word 'science', a term brutally abused these days.

We firmly believe in the benefits of sharing knowledge and information across borders, and think this is not done enough in times of crisis.

We thank you for visiting our site. And we welcome your questions, comments, suggestions.
