"Facebook has been collecting potentially sensitive health data through a tracker that, until recently, was included in the online scheduling tools of roughly a third of the country's top hospitals, according to a new report from nonprofit investigative newsroom The Markup."

Recommended by Trish Makowiak: How can you tell if the bold headlines seen on social media are truly touting the next big thing or if the article isn't worth the paper it's printed on? Understanding Medical Studies, will provide you with the tools and skills you need to critically interpret medical studies, and determine for yourself the difference between good and bad science. The course covers study-design, research methods, and statistical interpretation. It also delves into the dark side of medical research by covering fraud, biases, and common misinterpretations of data. Each lesson will highlight case-studies from real-world journal articles. By the end of this course, you'll have the tools you need to determine the trustworthiness of the scientific information you're reading and, of course, whether or not your Facebook friend is wrong. This course was made possible in part by the George M. O'Brien Kidney Center at Yale.

"Hi everyone! My name is Jake Picker and I make "edutainment" videos about bartonellosis, mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS), SIBO, and other related conditions. Unfortunately, I have been suffering with bartonellosis symptoms for over ten years but became debilitated by those symptoms in August of 2018. Almost every single minute that I feel well enough, I spend researching, writing, filming, and editing my videos for Bartonella Babe. The best way to support me is to shop my Bartonella Babe merch at www.teespring.com/stores/bartonella-babe. I have chosen to donate 25% of all proceeds to the Bartonella Project at the North Carolina State University College of Veterinary Medicine. If you are looking for support, please join our Facebook support group called Breaking Down Bartonella. To stay updated with my life, make sure to subscribe and hit the notification bell. Also, follow me on Instagram @bartonella_babe and on Facebook (Bartonella Babe). Thanks Bartonella buddies!"

"Without clear information from official sources, many long-haulers have found answers from one another. Support groups on Facebook have thousands of members. One Slack group, founded within a wellness organization called Body Politic, has almost doubled in size since June to more than 7,000 active participants from 25 countries. There are channels for discussing every organ system in the body. There are lists of sympathetic medical providers, and tips for convincing those who aren't listening. Eerily, the group's membership morphs as the pandemic spreads: "When Brazil had a huge spike, we had a massive influx of Brazilian patients," said Nichols, who is an administrator."

"Thankfully, there are many things we can do as individuals and communities that may be helpful. It is important to remain calm and think clearly. Remember that our positive attitudes go a long way in protecting health, enriching our daily lives, and supporting the ones we love. Here is a list of things one can do at home to help in these uncertain times:"

"This pandemic has been studied more intensely in a shorter amount of time than any other human event. Our globalized world has rapidly generated and shared a vast amount of information about it. It is inevitable that there will be bad as well as good data in that mix. These massive, decentralized, and crowd-sourced data can reliably be converted to life-saving knowledge if tempered by expertise, transparency, rigor, and collaboration. When making your own decisions, read closely, trust carefully, and when in doubt, look to the experts."

"Many believe that for people living with spinal cord injuries, "recovery" is defined first and foremost as regaining the ability to walk. But the repercussions of spinal cord injury go beyond that and recovery has different degrees. Many of those living with spinal cord injuries hope to normalize their blood pressure, or regain bowel, bladder and other affected bodily functions, for a more self-reliant, healthier life. For most, the top priority is recovery of use of a hand and arm, which translates into meaningful, quality-of-life improvements: being able to independently eat, dress, work, and perform other daily activities."
