A distiller (name based on https://distill.pub/) is a writer who can explain a complex topic, one with a lot of research debt, so that knowledgeable undergraduates in the subject can get a good intuition and picture of the subject. I’m looking for examples of people you consider great distillers in a field in which you have advanced knowledge. For example, Terrence Tao is a great distiller of Mathematics, and Scott Aaronson is a great distiller of Complexity Theory and Quantum Computing. What are your favorite distillers, and why?
I’m asking because I’m trying to improve my own distilling skills, and studying/stealing from the masters is a great way to get better. Only issue is that you need to know the masters.
