Knowledge is the cornerstone of health—people need to understand a treatment or intervention to give truly informed consent. But in the 21st century, the internet can either be a useful tool or perpetuate misinformation and misunderstandings.Online health information must therefore be easy to understand and scientifically up to date. As a writer, scientist, and a future medial professional, I aim to create health education that is both well-researched and well-written.
