      Chelsea Polis Retweeted CNN

      This quote is inaccurate, @CNN. About 2% of women in the study Lloyd refers to experienced depression - not 20-30%. @susanscutti please fix?https://twitter.com/CNN/status/793130916377952256 …

      Chelsea Polis added,

      "20-30% of women on birth control pills experience depression. This study was terminated after 3% depression in men" http://cnn.it/2f58rYl

      It's amazing - no matter what the study, someone finds a way to completely misinterpret it

      I wish there was a more efficient way of helping media correct large errors like this. That CNN Tweet/quote is awful!

      have you got a US version of the @SMC_London? Really helps with this kind of thing by connecting scis/journos

          Watch this space on a US SMC. There has already been a US pilot on genetics http://geneticexperts.org/
