What is The Feed with Dr. G?
“Science provides the knowledge we need to improve our health – but it’s also science’s job to make sure that knowledge is accessible to everyone.” – Dr. Samir Gupta
Nothing matters more than our health. And science is the key to understanding and maximizing our health and wellness. Yet new studies are reported in the news every day, and it seems impossible to keep up and figure out what’s important. At the same time, science is too often presented in a traditional style that’s unnecessarily complex and hard to understand.
As both a doctor and a scientist, my mission is to find fresh approaches to make science clear, transparent, and easy to understand (=obvious!) – for everyone. In our digital world, The Feed is built to keep people engaged and informed around the latest topics and newest science in health and medicine, and to empower them to separate fact from fiction.
