Research & media source registry · reviewed September 22, 2026

People on the radar.
Evidence still comes first.

Researchers, clinicians, educators and creators we monitor for papers, expert interpretation and emerging claims. A person’s credentials determine how we use a source—not whether we accept a claim.

Editorial firewallNo expert, podcast or influencer changes an evidence grade alone.

People and media are monitored for research discovery and context. For media-only hosts, the show is used to find qualified guests and original references; the host is not treated as a subject-matter expert. Inclusion is not an endorsement, and commentary never changes an evidence grade without supporting human research.
