Abstract
The author shares hard-earned wisdom on the dos and don?ts of battling misinformation. For the past 20 years, Offit has fought for sound science and public heath. Stepping into the media spotlight as few scientists have done¯such as being one of the first to speak out against conspiracy theories linking vaccines to autism¯he found himself in the crosshairs of powerful groups intent on promoting pseudoscience. Bad Advice discusses science and its adversaries. Written with wit and passion, Offit?s often humorous guide to taking on quack experts and self-appointed activists is a must-read for anyone disturbed by the uptick in politicized attacks on science.

Abstract
There is a lot of misinformation thrown around these days, especially online. Headlines tell us to do this, not that---all in the name of living longer, better, thinner, younger. In Hype, Dr. Nina Shapiro distinguishes between the falsehoods and the evidence-backed truth. In her work at Harvard and UCLA, with more than twenty years of experience in both clinical and academic medicine, she helps patients make important health decisions everyday. She?s bringing those lessons to life here with a blend of science and personal stories to discuss her dramatic new definition of ?a healthy life.?
