Greetings, everyone! I’m Joy Weinberg, publisher and editor-in-chief of Honest Health News (honesthealthnews.org), a nonprofit start-up devoted to helping people, especially adults 50+, live healthier lives grounded in evidence-based medicine. Recent stories include an interview with a Mayo College of Medicine professor on the 2 exercises we all need to support lifetime upper body strength http://goo.gl/CETF6v and a very revealing interview with the NIH/NCI director of Advanced Preclinical Research on how badly conventional cancer studies in mice correspond to human cancer outcomes, why they’re still being widely used, and the emerging kinds of mouse cancer studies that do translate better into human outcomes, goo.gl/5tRPRz
I am very interested in connecting with and supporting other AHCJ members here and on social media. Let’s make the world a better place together!
