Every day in America we see disinformation/ distrust of the scientific method in favor of superstition and debunked theories. When asked what's the important thing you can do for your health: scans, diet changes, giving up sugar, I have a one word answer. Happy to share it at event supporting @NbccOrg Santa Barbara. @IASLC @lungoncdoc @LUNGevity @LungAssociation @GO2forLungCancr @EGFRResisters

Great work on this panel, discussion of mission and modeling on supporting navigation programs- development and support. Substance and heart. #wclc2026
Patient advocacy and patient navigation are central to ensuring optimal outcomes. They are not just a "nice to have." #WCLC26

I never wrote for Ms. Magazine, but I grew up reading it and I'm so grateful for Gloria.
Writing for Ms. Magazine in the late 1990s was a benchmark moment for me. Thank you Gloria.
