We also have more ways to dip into — and even drown — in health and scientific information than ever before. From the nearly half a billion new social posts to the thousands of new scientific papers published each day, that challenge is growing whether you are dealing with a health issue or trying to stay abreast of the latest research in your field. While it’s wonderful that most of this information is available from nearly anywhere that has internet access, getting the right information for your needs is daunting. How do we keep up? And what about AI? Fred Hutch Cancer Center scientists, providers and a patient advocate recently shared their pointers on how to stay in the know. Their strategies mix the old (attending conferences) with the new (social media). Time and attention are critical. Regardless of platform, building a network of trusted sources — whether top journals or key colleagues — can help you keep swimming.

Seattle oncologist and surgeon William Hutchinson, MD, founded the center, which was named in honor of his younger brother, Fred Hutchinson, a Major League Baseball pitcher and manager who died in 1964 of cancer at the age of 45.
