A blog has been launched by Cancer Research UK to end the misinformation and confusion associated with health and science stories.
Following a six month trial the Science Update blog is now live. Cancer Research UK hopes it will be a valuable interactive resource for the public, the health community and the media. Posts already existing on the blog cover a wide range of subjects including whether mobile phones are linked to cancer, and if hypnosis can help people with the disease.
One of the bloggers, the charity’s health and science web manager Henry Scowcroft said:
There's a bewildering amount of media noise about cancer, some of it based on sound science, some of it widely misunderstood. By writing this blog and putting cancer stories in context, we hope to help people separate the good from the bad.
Blogs are a comparatively new medium of communication, and we're really looking forward to taking part in the discussions and debates that the sometimes controversial subject of cancer will provoke.
