Join Jim Hyde for a discussion on how to tell fact from fiction, hyperbole from reality, when it comes to understanding health research findings and information. Participants are encouraged to bring questions, concerns, or articles to discuss. Registrants will receive a "cheat sheet" of critical questions to ask when assessing research findings.

Jim taught epidemiology and biostatistics at Tufts Medical School for more than 35 years. While at Tufts he helped establish and directed the Tufts Masters Degree program in Health Communication, taught in the MD/MPH joint degree program and directed several research studies. Prior to Tufts he was the Director of the Division of Preventive Medicine at the Massachusetts Department of Public Health.
