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.

Dupixent is like hitting the “quiet down” button on an over‑amped immune system, helping to calm itchy, inflamed skin and making breathing easier. To learn what it’s actually doing inside the body, check out my short science video! 😉 youtu.be/zaMihjFX4Ts

Ivermectin works by jamming a cellular "door" open that paralyzes parasites. The kicker? Humans don’t even have those doors in our cells. Science! 🧬 Support ➡️ Giving.CU.EDU/CrackingCancer youtu.be/zJhK6J1cZ3k

Just hopped on the @Cracking_Cancer podcast with Kyle Concannon to talk oncology misinformation, cancer innovation, and hear first hand from a patient (Samantha) on navigating the online world of science. Take a listen (link in comments)! 🙂

Our long-awaited ivermectin episode is here! @Samantham75074 shares her experience on ivermectin - PhD @scientistswanda and @kyleconcannonmd discuss the science. At CC we believe progress occurs through thoughtful, non-judgmental conversations. Join us! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the…

Gazyva is an anti‑CD20 antibody designed to go after B cells with high precision. Its engineered structure boosts direct cell death & enhances immune‑mediated clearance in CLL & follicular lymphoma. Check out my short science video to see how it works! youtu.be/UB9snzZhzR0

@ClaudetteGGibs1 appreciate you so much ♥️

@ScientistSwanda Thank you.

Amylin is an under‑appreciated hormone shaping how your body manages appetite, glucose & digestion. What’s exciting is how scientists are now using amylin‑based therapies to complement GLP‑1s and improve metabolic control. Learn more in my short explainer! youtu.be/xYMh7nC7GDA

Norovirus is ripping through a cruise ship right now, which is a fast‑moving, highly contagious stomach virus (nothing to do with the other cruise‑ship headlines!) 🦠 I covered the basics of norovirus in one of my prior science lessons. youtu.be/W7uwHbm7RP0

@chumleighofang wow that’s incredible! these are important stories to share 🙌

@ScientistSwanda A miracle cure! Turned the lives around for 4 of my friends.

Hepatitis C is a great success story in medicine: a once‑chronic viral infection now curable for most people w/ antiviral therapy. But millions still don’t know they’re infected. My quick explainer breaks down how today’s treatments stop it in its tracks! youtu.be/TBOiR18Xccs

Opdivo is one of the most exciting advances in immunotherapy, helping the immune system recognize & attack cancer cells. To learn more about how this treatment works when administered, check out my quick science lesson! 🙌 youtu.be/VzUAZNQ_NpY

@ler540 you’re very welcome! and thank you, as I really appreciate the support in my educational videos 😊

@ScientistSwanda Thank you, I've never had this explained as well. I've never heard the connection between thyroid and auto-immune

The thyroid may be small, but when it speeds up or slows down, the entire body feels it. Hyperthyroidism & hypothyroidism sit on opposite ends of the hormone spectrum. My short video breaks down how each condition affects the body and why balance matters! youtu.be/p810Vl-dkd4

@zeeke55 why am I not even surprised by this. thank you for sharing!

@ScientistSwanda Does this help you understand the motivation?

this is 100% false & most likely clickbait. ivermectin works to inhibit glutamate-gated chloride channels on invertebrates. it has nothing to do with the nucleus, nor RNA.

years ago I made a simple explanation of the mechanism of action. youtu.be/gpaowjmeiLc

I cannot wait to spend the rest of this year breaking down the most exciting advancements, discoveries, and treatment innovations for you all. Stay tuned because some truly incredible things are coming. 🫶

I’ve been absolutely devouring cancer journals and books these past few weeks, and the breakthroughs, the innovations, the patient‑driven insights, it’s all blowing me away!
