Help it make sense? Supposed to review for NIH study section tomorrow-Wednesday. 1000s of hours of work by dedicated scientists and physicians trying to find cures for #cancer. As of 2 pm, we’re “still on hold” to see if we are going to hold the study section TOMORROW MORNING!!

Concerning prevalence of misinformation in cancer-related articles shared on social media. Harmful articles had significantly more viewer engagement ☠️ -Skyler Johnson, MD #WorldCancerDay event Dana-Farber Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health

How to evaluate online cancer information- try the “CRAP” 💩 score for red flags about the quality of information: Claims too good to be true Requests for money Anecdotal evidence Publisher unknown -Skyler Johnson, MD at #WorldCancerDay event Dana-Farber Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health

In case RFK Jr convinced you that he is not anti-vax, but merely "skeptical" & concerned about vaccine safety...look here NIH is terminating awards to obtain reliable data on vaccine hesitancy & ways to improve uptake. This is an explicitly anti-vax policy. Link in reply👇

Terminating unrelated biomedical research grants because of political accusations before any kind of investigation or due process is an obscene authoritarian move that in addition to being unamerican, will weaken America permanently

Grateful to be able to discuss the research (or lack thereof) surrounding unproven cancer treatments like Ivermectin with Dani Blum of the The New York Times. These treatments can increase the risk of death up to 470% when used in lieu of proven cancer treatments nytimes.com/2025/03/31/wel…

Looking forward to presenting at the Northeastern-Harvard Misinformation Speaker Series at the Harvard Kennedy School Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics, & Public Policy shorensteincenter.org/new-event/comb… Register here: hksexeced.tfaforms.net/f/registration…
