    I give a lot of my time for free to try help improve public understanding of science & medicine. But I also have a research career, full teaching load, a book to promote & my own problems. If you make passive / aggressive messages demanding I do more, it's weirdly entitled. 😣

        ..of course, people are more than welcome to contact me on issues & I'll always try to respond. But I can't take stance in every cause, particularly when they're beyond my spheres of expertise. Most people get this, but there are those who take it as an affront & get nasty 😢

        Well stated...thank you. I’ve struggled w this on occasion as well. It’s a fine balance of interacting with the public due to a desire to help but managing influx AND personal time constraints. I agree - those few who don’t understand that stand out...it’s about them, not me.
