Hi, I'm Dr. Jennifer Ma.

While training in the field of stem cell research, I learnt about the hype around stem cell therapy & how it fuels illegitimate treatments that harm desperate patients.

During the pandemic, the damage of misinformation becomes even more apparent—to ourselves, our relationships, & our society. It breaks my heart to see so much hate & division online, hear stories of friends & families turning against each other.

But it doesn’t have to be this way. I’ve seen firsthand how guided listening & compassionate sharing can unite people with extreme views & enable constructive conversations.

So I started Gentle Facts to help people heal from misinformation. Drawing from evidence-based best practices in science & interpersonal communication, I believe we can (re)build trusting relationships, empower informed actions, & create a world where talking about science brings people closer together.
