Scrutinizing Science Misconceptions with Meenakshi Noll

This week’s guest is Meenakshi Noll, a medical geneticist with a PhD in biochemistry. Meenakshi would often hear the misinformation patients had – they either did not know what to ask their doctors or they simply did not understand what they were told. This led Noll to create her science blog – The Scrutinizer – to provide unbiased, evidence-based information that is easy to understand.

One problem Noll faced was with her patients. Not only did she hear misinformation coming form them, many of them had questions they needed to ask but weren’t sure how to ask their doctors. Sometimes they did not understand what their doctors were telling them. Noll hopes to be someone who can provide reliable, unbiased science based information and started her company called The Scrutinizer.
