Rachael Dunlop is an Australian heart disease researcher and skeptic, the vice president of the New South Wales committee of the Australian Skeptics.[1] A fellow of the society of biology, she is currently a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Technology, Sydney, with her research focusing on the role of blue green algae in triggering motor neuron disease and ALS.[2] Some of this research has been published in Free Radical Biology and Medicine.[3] She frequently blogs about the anti-vaccine movement in Australia on her blog, The Skeptics' Book of Pooh-Pooh,[4][5] as well as at the blog Science-Based Medicine, where she has written about, among other topics, the Australian Vaccination Network.[6] More recently, Dunlop has argued that media reporting of vaccine-related topics gives too much weight to the anti-vaccine movement.[7] She has also won a Shorty Award for health.[8]
