Scientific misinformation is all around us. How can we tell fact from fiction when it comes to our health? Where can we find clear and credible sources of information to help us answer our questions? Join us in this week’s episode of The Science Basement podcast as Rhiannon and Rose learn all about iHealthFacts, a platform developed to do just that. Alongside iHealthFacts lead researcher Paula Byrne, we learn what goes on behind the scenes of iHealthFacts and how a question submitted by the general public to iHealthFacts gets answered. Dr. Paula Byrne is a senior postdoctoral researcher with Evidence Synthesis Ireland and HRB-Trials Methodology Research Network at the University of Galway, Ireland. She is the lead researcher on iHealthFacts; a health fact-checking website. Your hosts for this episode are Rhiannon Newman & Roselydiah Makunja. Editing by Iina Sivonen.
