Librarian by day, mom 24/7 (aka full-time toddler negotiator). Fueled by caffeine, chaos, and a to-do list. Sarcasm is my love language.

I have a PhD and more than a decade of experience in conducting and evaluating scientific research at the highest level

And I would like to say: it is impossible to "do your own research" on a field outside your expertise without loads of time. Often you have to trust the experts in other fields
Telling people to “do your own research” when in reality it means embracing disinformation from uncredentialed wellness grifters trying to peddle non-proven alternatives, and ignoring decades of rigorous peer-reviewed work from scientific experts, will kill people.
