Saving Face Episode 2

Original Air Date: May 6, 2017
Saving Face - Episode 2
In this episode we dive into medical fake news - those scary articles you see that warn of cancer or other horrible things - like bananas being tainted with HIV infected blood (fake news BTW), or in the article we review - getting cancer from hair dye.
We also discuss ways to respond to articles - including a Snopes article "mic drop" response.  We've both done it.  Does it work?  Is it rude?  Do people (Elizabeth) like it when it happens to them?  
​Tune in and find out!
