So nice to hear some of our favorite medical content creators share the real insights and realities of making content online and battling misinformation. Been thinking a lot about how we in healthcare are partially to blame for this gap with misinformation, so that’s been a great thing to learn from this podcast! Also love that it’s only 30 min, perfect for my commute!
