I’m so excited to finally be able to share a project I’ve been working on for months:
Introducing The Communication Lab, my first training course teaching how to do science communication on social media!
Oh, and one more thing…

How do you write about science in a way that makes people actually want to read it?
This episode of The Communication Lab tackles how to create engaging content and how habits learned from academia can backfire when it comes to communicating online...

Did AI really beat ER doctors at ER triage?
Nope. But with the headlines circulating this week around a new Science paper, you wouldn’t be blamed for walking away with that conclusion.
Here’s what actually happened and why the headlines are wrong:

Did you know women are less likely to receive CPR than men?
Shout to the Pitt for showing the reality of how women can receive substandard care because of… their chest.
The public health roundup just dropped!
To help you sort through the chaotic news, each week I highlight my top 5 public health stories that are worth your time.
Stories come from all over: mainstream news, research, social media, and independent journalists.
Check it out 👇🏽👇🏽

Highly recommend you read the judge’s comments from the RFK Jr. vaccine lawsuit, which are a breath of fresh air after a year of chaos.
If you don’t have time read the whole thing, here are a few of my favorite sections:

Worried about doing bystander CPR?
"You can’t get more injured than dead - which is what a cardiac arrest is.
Broken ribs are common in CPR (for both male & female patients), but people can heal from those."

As Dr @kmpanthagani.bsky.social points out, the AI did not obtain the history.
It used the history obtained by the ER doc.
And getting that history is the *highest*-level cognitive task ER doctors perform.

Sad events here at #ADA26 - ADA has chosen the side of this administration - pretending it's unsafe to an invited federal speaker to hand out an editorial - over supporting its own leadership who've dedicated countless volunteer hours to the org's right to protest.

When it comes to vaccines, the words "safe", "immunity" and "prevent" have caused incredible confusion and sparked endless debates.
@kmpanthagani.bsky.social 's recent article does a great job explaining how misunderstandings arise. Recommended!
