Anyone with half a brain cell can post wild misinformation that goes mega viral, which wastes the time and expertise of highly trained people who feel an obligation to inform others of the truth. Today I want you to meet one of those highly-trained people, Dr. Zachary Rubin, who works on the front lines against scientific and medical misinformation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">Rubin is a pediatric allergist and immunologist and author of the book <em>All About Allergies<\/em>. He likely came across my TikTok feed because I crave anti-misinformation content; one of my other favorite people doing this work <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/dr_idz\/?hl=en\">is Rubin\u2019s colleague Dr. Idrees Mughal<\/a>, aka Dr. Idz, who fights the good fight against wellness grifters and other miscreants. You can find Rubin on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/rubin_allergy\/?hl=en\">Instagram<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@rubin_allergy?lang=en\">TikTok<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@rubin_allergy\">YouTube<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">Rubin knows how to post, often appearing with a small mic in his hand and always with his signature bowtie. His style of speaking invokes authority but never condescension, which is one of the reasons I think he\u2019s a great science communicator.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">Rubin has a medical practice, but I asked him five questions about his other job: helping rid the world of junk science and making us all better informed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\"><strong>The journey to becoming a doctor is long and difficult. Before we get into your work online, please tell me why you embarked on this path.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">I\u2019ve always been fascinated by how the human body works. Medicine appealed to me because it combines science, problem-solving, and the privilege of helping people during some of the most vulnerable moments of their lives. I was fortunate to see these moments early in my life because my dad is a pediatrician. Allergy and immunology was especially compelling because the immune system touches nearly every aspect of health, and many of the conditions I treat can dramatically improve when patients finally receive the right diagnosis and treatment. Becoming a physician has been incredibly challenging, but it\u2019s also one of the most rewarding decisions I\u2019ve ever made.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\"><strong>You\u2019re a great communicator of science and medicine. (Your signature bowtie is a nice touch, by the way.) Your videos demonstrate a rare combination of talents that the world needs, especially as we\u2019re plagued by a firehose of misinformation. You could have just kept quiet at your practice with your patients. Why wade into the muck online?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">I realized that misinformation doesn\u2019t stay online; it walks into my exam room every day. Patients deserve access to understandable, evidence-based information before they ever need to see a doctor. Social media allows me to reach millions of people with the same conversations I have in clinic every day. My goal isn\u2019t to tell people what to think. It\u2019s to help them think critically about health claims, understand what the evidence actually shows, and feel empowered to ask better questions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\"><strong>What\u2019s the number one thing you wish people understood about science and\/or medicine?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">That uncertainty isn\u2019t a weakness, it\u2019s one of science\u2019s greatest strengths. Science isn\u2019t a collection of immutable facts. It\u2019s a process for getting closer to the truth. Good scientists are willing to change their minds when better evidence emerges. Unfortunately, that can look like inconsistency to the public, when it\u2019s actually how progress happens. Confidence should always be proportional to the quality of the evidence.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\"><strong>What\u2019s your favorite thing about countering misinformation online, and what\u2019s the most challenging? <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">The most rewarding part is hearing from someone who says, \u201cI changed my mind.\u201d That\u2019s incredibly rare today, and it reminds me that respectful conversations can still make a difference.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">The hardest part is that misinformation spreads faster than nuance. A confident but incorrect statement can go viral in minutes, while explaining the evidence often takes far longer. Add in algorithms that reward outrage, and it becomes an uphill battle, but that\u2019s exactly why more physicians and scientists need to be part of the conversation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\"><strong>America is turning 250 years old. This country has been behind a lot of great science and medicine. What are we doing wrong, and what could we do better? <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">The United States has an extraordinary history of scientific discovery because we\u2019ve invested in research, encouraged innovation, and welcomed people with diverse ideas and expertise. I hope we continue to value those strengths.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">One area where we can improve is scientific literacy. We should spend more time teaching people <em>how<\/em> to evaluate evidence, not just <em>what<\/em> to memorize. At the same time, scientists and physicians need to become better communicators. If we don\u2019t explain our work clearly and transparently, someone else will fill that void. Trust isn\u2019t built by having all the answers, it\u2019s built by being honest about what we know, what we don\u2019t know, and how we\u2019re working to find out.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div
