Health matters
Siris Health is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit building a free educational platform and curating social media channels that feature experts presenting health and science in a clear, compelling manner.
Reliable health and science communication is challenging in online environments. Misinformation flourishes on social media. Distrust in science and medical professionals is on the rise.
You’ve likely heard that you should listen to your doctor. While such advice sounds great in principle, 90% of Americans use social media to find health information. While many amazing science communicators are offering good advice online, two problems persist:
Science and health communicators mostly do this work solo without access to a network of fellow experts
These experts are rarely compensated for their work
Siris Health was founded as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit to fund a small team and compensate experts in order to build a free educational platform and curate social media channels that present health and science in a clear, compelling manner.
It’s a big goal, and we can certainly use your help in accomplishing it.
Siris Health will begin by curating existing content. Once we have adequate funding, we’ll fund experts to create original content to build a comprehensive library, as well as respond to emerging health misinformation and conspiracy theories in real-time.
You can sign up for our weekly newsletter below. We’re also working on a podcast, expert-led courses, and conferences.
Nothing on this website should be considered medical advice. While we’ll be sharing expert opinions, nothing online can replace real-world relationships with medical and science professionals.
