Learning that many clinical trials are directly produced by #bigpharma has transformed the way I see scientific literature. I used to believe that the scientific method was foolproof - you accept or reject the hypothesis. But science is grey, and must consumed with care #HST440

Me too Oria! I used think that evidence-based medicine was infalliable because results were from unbiased, trustworthy trials but that is truly not the case. #HST440

Oria James (@oriajames1) 's Twitter Profile Photo

Agreed - #HST440 and Dr. Nancy Olivieri have enormously opened my eyes to the ways in which big pharma meddles with science, public medical knowledge, and disease advocacy. It is not an exaggeration to say that this class has changed the way I understand the world.

Absolutely my thoughts. The inequity in resource distribution/prioritization is unsettling. While I’ve been aware of the inequities in health(care) for a while, it is different to be confronted with news that seems to promote & praise the maintenance of these practices #HST440

The #HST440 presentation on statins this week was eye opening - it has planted seeds of doubt in the back of my mind about the validity of all research & clinical trials related to the efficacy of #statins. Interested to see more studies about the impact of statins on #COVID19

Connecting with audience members in the Q&A session was my highlight of the #Insulin100 conference! Community and empathy is so important in the #diabetescommunity. I look forward to continuing these important conversations in the future.
