We should be relieved that a diagnosis of cancer is no longer discussed in a whisper. But that doesn't mean we know all we should about the disease – or that we don't suffer due to persistent misconceptions or, rather, myths connected to it.Everyday, people are looking on the internet for health information and/ or information to debunk some of those myths. Citizen science involves everyday people - just like you - who volunteer to help scientists with their research. Or use research they find on the internet to help others.Though citizen science is used in many fields, City of Hope is using it to try and answer, and or, prove some cancer myths right or wrong.James V. Lacey, Jr., Ph.D. is here from City of Hope to explain how you can become a citizen science participant and help to explain some cancer myths.
