On my social media accounts, I focus on science communication.
That said, I am primarily a cell biologist working on leukemia.
In my group, we are focused on cell adhesion mechanisms — previously in CML, and now in B-ALL in the context of immunological therapy.
If you are interested, hit me a DM.

A friendly reminder: If a so-called nutritional expert talks in a way that you can substitute the word "hormones" with "chakras" without a change in meaning of their claim, you are pretty safe to assume they do not know their physiology.

What the study show is that you can actually publish anything as "scientific text", if you really want to.

Here are my 5 (not so standard) rules for communicating science to general public:
1) People are not stupid. They just don't have the knowledge.
Yes, people can be clever and yet still be uninformed about cell biology. People also can know everything about cell biology and be completely dumb.
