When researchers and patient groups work together, it builds trust and leads to better outcomes for public health. With European Respiratory Society, we are urging European leaders to ensure decisions are guided by science and patient voices. https://www.ersnet.org/advocacy/campaign-defend-science

Where do young people learn about health? Increasingly, social media – where influencers, not scientists, shape what they see. Watch Susanne Vijverberg explain why this matters. 📽️ Help us #DefendScience and #ProtectHealth: https://www.ersnet.org/advocacy/campaign-defend-science/
