If “medical uncertainty” is all it takes to ignore overwhelming scientific consensus, then evidence-based policymaking is in real trouble.
Our new blog breaks down Chiles v. Salazar and what it means for the role of research in the courts:

The best research won’t help patients if it never reaches practice. This fellowship builds the workforce to close that gap—with mentorship, training, and real projects in health systems. Excited to get this started. Details: academyhealth.org/blog/2025-11...

We talk a lot about developing vaccines, but not nearly enough about making sure people can actually get them.

A new @academyhealth.bsky.social blog lays out why we need real investment in vaccine delivery research: academyhealth.org/blog/2025-11...

It’s getting harder for people inside federal agencies to raise scientific questions without pushback. That should worry anyone who cares about good policy.

@academyhealth.bsky.social's Situation Report covers that, plus major updates on Medicare and the ACA: academyhealth.org/blog/2025-11...

Evidence only matters if people trust it.

That’s one reason why I think health research needs to focus more on real-world impact — and on how we communicate what we find.
