When I started this work, plenty of people underestimated how powerful accessible science storytelling could be. Yet, now my Vaccines Today interview is live, highlighting exactly why this space matters & why I’m doubling down on it!

Getting the invite to ASCO (American Society of Clinical Oncology) to talk about breaking down complex therapeutics, connecting with patients, and highlighting real innovation hits different knowing how far my science communication journey has come.

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)! 🙂

last week I had the opportunity to discuss science communication at the World Vaccine Congress, as we face heightened misinformation & mistrust in this sector. this type of exposure wouldn’t be possible without all the community support, so thank you! 🫶

hold onto your lab coats, RNA enthusiasts! 😜 if you thought I was done talking about RNA with my mRNA and siRNA videos, think again. tomorrow, I'm dropping a video on RNA aptamers that'll make your molecules dance! 💃

Rob Swanda @scientistswanda.bsky.social · 16/04/2025

remember when our current secretary of HHS called the below molecule “ribo-flame” and expressed concerns about its presence in food? well, it’s actually called riboflavin, or vitamin B2, and it’s an essential micronutrient. I’ll be coving why in my latest video that drops tmr!

headline: “Canada Preps for H5N1 with Stockpiled Vaccine” public comments: “mRNA this, mRNA that, mRNA evil, blah blah blah” 3 minutes of me Googling: it’s a protein (antigen) based vaccine … 🤦‍♂️

well you heard it here folks, right from the famous ‘Outdoorswithmikey’! the biggest, most helpful thing we can do to combat climate change is use ivermectin. (and, yes this is a real comment from my YouTube video 🥲)

WOW. Look what we accomplished together in 2024! Our small channel touched the lives of so many, and it means the world to me. I can’t thank this community enough, as your belief in our mission keeps me going. Think of this as my "Spotify Wrapped" for science communication! 😊

when they come with misinformation, we counter with education. next science video will be all about fluoride. (for the haters of course) 😘
