Like you, we regularly see posts on the Internet and social media that contain inaccuracies and false assumptions with respect to anatomy, physiology, neurology, biomechanics, or just misleading terminology in general. This can be especially problematic when the author has a large following. Facts matter. Words matter.
The intent of this Science Bites page is to offer our community a place to explore those topics from a different perspective. A science-based perspective.
If something feels “off” to you when reading certain social media posts, check here to see if the topic has been addressed. If not, feel free to reach out to us at info@vetcompendium.org
You disagree with something we write? We encourage conversations on our Veterinary Compendium Facebook page.
