🀩 today’s symposium is one big reminder why #GlobalHealth and #Health people NEED to work with other disciplines to understand and respond to the rise of #misinformation and #desinformation.

I write a monthly science column for some awesome small-town newspapers in rural New York. My main goal is to actively and diplomatically push back against pseudoscience. I'm the wife of a U.S. diplomat, so I know a few things about diplomacy:🧡πŸ§ͺπŸ”­
