The Press Barnstar
For participating in an interview for Wired which appeared in the article "How Wikipedia Prevents the Spread of Coronavirus Misinformation". By the way, I was intrigued by the mention of a laser thermometer. I'd like to see a picture of it or one like it, if you've got the time to share one.
