Building on her recent article, PhD Candidate Cosette Saunders just spoke to ABC Radio about the #nocebo effect! Listen to a snippet of it below! 📻 ✨

⭐️ PhD candidate Cosette Saunders wrote a great article for @aunz.theconversation.com discussing the #nocebo effect and how it's relevant to you (e.g., it can be socially transmitted to you through the social media platform you're using right now)! 🤕 theconversation.com/you-can-catc...

You can catch the ‘nocebo’ effect from family, friends – even social media. But what is it, actually?

The nocebo effect is the opposite of the placebo effect. And it can affect what we think of medicines, and the side-effects we report.
