Here I describe a brief overview of how the Pfizer/BioNTech or Moderna mRNA vaccines work. Taking a vaccine is one’s personal choice, and I hope this video can help someone make that decision rooted in science.

NEW VIDEO (a favorite!) 🎉 Large population studies have found an association between shingles vaccination & a lower risk of dementia, sparking conversations at the intersection of immunology + brain health. Check out my video to explore this connection! youtu.be/lifh2KH9qlQ

@DrOBrienMD this!! 👏 and I think MenB also has observational studies for protection from gonorrhea!

A bajillion times better than meningitis! (These vaccines — MenACWY and MenB — are highly effective at preventing severe types of bacterial meningitis, which has a 10% mortality rate… eek)

An interesting lung injury outbreak puzzled doctors & patients a few years ago. It's called EVALI, which is a serious condition linked to vaping, particularly products containing certain additives. Learn what EVALI is & how it happens in my latest video. youtu.be/9QVJn2xJ3Gw

@julezBee2 yes I read that this week too! fascinating data coming out, and looking forward to more data to critically analyze to identify potential mechanisms, or if it’s just a correlation! 🫶

@ScientistSwanda Thank you-This is awesome! Also have read that the vaccine has improved longevity. Getting my second dose next week.

@goforthfilm 🤭

@ScientistSwanda I’ve gotten the shingles vaccine, so there goes that excuse.

you don’t want to miss this fascinating new video dropping tomorrow where I’m diving into the association between decreased dementia risk from receiving the shingles vaccine! 😮

#MedicalResearch on treatments of cancer. ⬇️

What if you could stop cancer cells by tangling up their DNA? Carboplatin is a chemotherapy that works by forming DNA crosslinks, preventing cancer cells from dividing. Watch my short video to learn how this drug plays a critical role cancer treatment! youtu.be/EMB0-1kfUc0

Inflammation is powerful, but it’s not uncontrollable. Remicade reduces immune‑driven inflammation by blocking TNF‑alpha at its source. See how this therapeutic works to improve patient outcomes in my latest public health video! youtu.be/TP9AdijG_KM

Eliminating diseased tissue w/o major surgery sounds futuristic, but it’s already standard care in many fields. Ablation technology uses controlled energy to destroy problem tissue in the heart and tumors. I break down how it works in my newest video! youtu.be/LzB8zllLRgU

What if stopping cancer growth came down to blocking the right molecule?Perjeta is an antibody for HER2+ breast cancer that works by preventing the HER2 receptor from pairing with growth‑signaling receptors. To learn more, watch my scientific breakdown! youtu.be/rrwib_WIloY

Cancer treatment doesn’t always mean attacking everything at once. Rituxan uses a targeted antibody to help the immune system selectively eliminate B‑cell cancers. Watch my latest science video to see how this precision approach works! youtu.be/uN873azbjM8

Some cancers start with a single molecular misfire. PIK3CA mutations disrupt critical cell‑growth signaling pathways, driving uncontrolled proliferation in many tumors. I explain why this matters for modern cancer care in my newest genetics lesson! youtu.be/yAATppKcxmg

Your cells run on an invisible energy economy, and coenzyme Q10 is a central currency. This molecule fuels mitochondrial ATP production while also protecting cells from oxidative stress. Learn the biochemistry by checking out my latest educational video. youtu.be/7ppsfF2BkRs

A simple drug is making waves far beyond the pharmacy. Doxy PEP uses doxycycline after exposure to help reduce the risk of certain bacterial STIs, creating new prevention strategies. I explore the science & public health implications in my latest video! youtu.be/YwNsvH7fXBY

@ClaudetteGGibs1 🙏 💞

@ScientistSwanda This sounds promising.

What if calming chronic inflammation came down to blocking a single signal? Humira works by targeting TNF‑alpha, a key driver behind many autoimmune diseases. Learn how this targeted approach reshaped treatment by watching my latest public health video! youtu.be/soHOdys6qIk

@potsstrongem couldn’t agree more! what type of content would support this? I’d love to help bring more educational awareness, but right now I highly focus on the biochemistry of various molecules. I would enjoy branching out to topics that would offer assistance.

@ScientistSwanda Humira's targeted approach is a leap forward, but we still lack real access and systemic support. Biomedical research and equity in care must remain central to the conversation.

Measles Vaccine vs Measles Infection 🔸 VAERS has reported 299 U.S. deaths following measles vaccination 🔸 Since 1995, 193 MMR/MMRV-related deaths with known dates were reported 🔸In the same period, the CDC documents just 7 measles-infection deaths in the U.S. That’s 2,657% more reported deaths after the vaccine than from measles itself (193 vs 7). 📊
