Dr. Christy Kestner, PhD is a neuroimmunologist and science communicator behind Brain & Beyond, a fast-growing platform dedicated to cutting through misinformation about the brain, the immune system, and human health. This channel focuses on myth-busting, evidence-based science, and how research really works — from vaccines and aging to neurodegenerative disease, mental health, and viral science claims on social media. With over a decade of experience in neuroscience, immunology, and oncology research, Dr. Christy breaks down what studies actually show (and what they don’t), so you can think more clearly about the science that shapes our lives. Here you’ll find: • Science myth-busting • Brain & immune system explainers • How to read science headlines • What’s real vs what’s hype • How research actually works If you want science that’s clear, honest, and grounded in evidence — welcome to Brain & Beyond!
