My number one tip for researchers that do a significant amount of non peer reviewed paper publication/outreach:

Create an excel table, every time you give an interview, talk, write an oped or white paper, etc. take 5 seconds to immediately note it in the excel.

Today I asked the physiology students if they are going anywhere for the long weekend. When nobody raised their hand, I said 'really? You're all staying in Vancouver?'

Someone at the back yelled out 'yes, because we're all broke'.

This is super misleading. While it is true that stage 1 breast cancer has a 5-year survival rate of over 99%, stage 2/3 only averages 87-92% and stage 4 (metastatic) only has a ~32% 5-year survival rate. #FactsMatter #Stage4NeedsMore
