In SCAMABILITATION, three prominent critics of pseudoscience team up to entertain and educate the ACRM 2019 audience with a far-reaching foray into the new media-charged landscape of medicine, where, for millions of Americans, Gwyneth Paltrow’s pronouncements on wellness hold more legitimacy than national medical societies. Timothy Caulfield is a law professor, author, and host of Netflix’s A User’s Guide to Cheating Death. The Globe and Mail dubbed him the “Canadian nemesis of pseudoscience.” Jennifer Gunter is a quadruple board certified Obstetrician Gynecologist whose blog Wielding the Lasso of Truth has shot her to national prominence and a recurring column in the New York Times. Ford Vox is a brain injury physiatrist at the Shepherd Center who practices medical journalism as a side career, often focusing on the cracks in medical science communication.
