Julia Beluz
Julia Beluz is a health reporter whose work has included a focus on examining the evidence behind popular health claims surrounding medicine, food, nutrition, and public health. Her compelling writing and presentation of material not only informs but educates. She recognizes true experts in the area, appreciates good science, and calls out pseudoscience. The news media has a tremendous influence on our health decisions. Unfortunately most health and nutrition reporting is typically not based on providing good evidence, but on providing attention-grabbing headlines – we need more reporters like Julia!
