Love this quote! #Publichealth is an underappreciated field... many don't recognize that they are staying healthy and *not* going to the doctor because of public health measures like seatbelts, clean water, and income support. @aphapublichealth.bsky.social @societyforepi.bsky.social

One of my favorite @mathematicanow.bsky.social podcasts on 2024: Taking stock of how public health data gets reported in all 50 states+DC, w/ a focus on the role of state policy in requiring/encouraging faster, more complete reporting. @pewtrusts.bsky.social www.mathematica.org/blogs/modern...

Friends, you know those references that say that only 1 out of every 100 dollars spent in government has any evidence behind it? Anyone have the original source and/or updated numbers?

As a fellow English major who works for a data-driven org, I very much enjoyed hearing about the career path and current work of Jeffery Marino, director of California's Office of Data and Innovation, a recent guest of the @mathematicanow.bsky.social podcast. www.mathematica.org/blogs/embedd...

I got to speak with amazing, mission-driven people working at the intersection of evidence and public policy at the 2024 @appam.bsky.social fall research conference. Expect highlights to appear on @mathematicanow.bsky.social’s #OnTheEvidence podcast, as well as our social and YouTube channels.

I'm a big fan of @andrewvandam.bsky.social's Dept. of Data WaPo column and AmeriCorps' Office of Research and Evaluation, so this story felt to me like an Avengers Assemble moment. Great to see #OnTheEvidence guest Dr. Mary Hyde talking about fulfilling jobs: www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
