David H. Freedman is a science journalist and author covering health, business, policy, and societal challenges, with a special focus on exploring trends that impact population health. He writes for publications including Inc, Politico, Scientific American and The Atlantic. In 2010 he wrote a book called 'Wrong: Why Experts Keep Failing Us - And How to Know When Not to Trust Them'.
