👋🏾 I’m Dan, I’m a Ph.D. in molecular biology that covers bad science while making good science accessible. All views are my own.

Yes this one about my youngest daughter. It explains the data showing vaccines don’t cause autism, also the implausibility of such a link, and the genetic basis of autism and neurodevelopment

Except for the reality that the guy doesn’t follow or understand evidence-based science, and still pushes false narratives around vaccines, making disproven claims that vaccines cause autism or other conditions despite the massive scientific evidence to the contrary. Refs below

Not content with being abused by antivaxxers, I thought I’d try my hand at being abused by carnivore dieters. And just to be clear, I'm not criticising people who include some meat in their diet – I’m talking specifically about people who only eat meat. youtu.be/qKL-enb2a7M

In the immortal words of one Ben Goldacre: “Flaws in aircraft design don’t prove the existence of magic carpets.” Except this isn’t so much a magic carpet as much as a Pegasus that will self-immolate mid-flight after inextricably binding you to it.

Almost any time someone mentions the word toxins, you can assume they’re not being factual. Everything can be toxic, including oxygen, water, sodium, glucose, and many other things essential to life. Thankfully, even scary-sounding things that can be toxic—like arsenic,

It seems to be coming up a lot these days, so I wrote about the "autism epidemic" and how it's mostly a myth. In reality, we just changed the diagnostic criteria to include more people under the diagnosis of autism/ASD medium.com/@gidmk/the-aut…

The 5th Circuit ruled that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. lacks standing to claim that the Biden administration censored him. ca5.uscourts.gov/opinions/unpub…

I am committed to making complex scientific information accessible to everyone. I will continue to explain novel life-saving therapies, spread awareness about preventative vaccines, and enhance trust and knowledge transfer in public health topics. I am driven to work harder.
