What’s a Science Reporter to Do When Sound Evidence Isn’t Sound?
I knew this article — about the alleged “sonic attack” at the U.S. Embassy in Cuba — would be very different than the ones I usually write. There was not even an official medical report.https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/05/science/cuba-sonic-weapon.html

Acoustic energy is easy to detect.
Send a technical person.
