Health Headline Hiatus?
September 8, 2008
Have you noticed a lack of health related headlines in the news?
Given the tendency of health journalists to exaggerate findings and misinterpret studies, this lack of news has been good news. However, I think I know why the health hyperbole has been MIA … summer. Yes, it’s summer. Scientific meetings are typically not scheduled during the summer months. Scientists, researchers, physicians, and professors like to enjoy the summer with their families. They don’t want be trapped in conference rooms surrounded by other disgruntled researchers who would also rather be at the lake.
So, enjoy the break. October is almost here and I predict that the health news will begin to flow rapidly again. Be skeptical!
