Health services research is at a crossroads. Want to talk about what’s next? I’ll be joining Josh Caplan for a live @AcademyHealth member town hall tomorrow. We’ll cover the big issues—and take your questions. There's still time to register: https://t.co/x8fvKwGt6E

When research gets sidelined, it’s stalls progress, innovation, and disrupts patient care. @AcademyHealth is gathering stories from our field to make that case clear. If your work’s been disrupted, we want to hear from you: https://t.co/0QYmin5fKt

Tight budgets. Politicized data. Rising distrust. These aren't just challenges—they're calls to action. I wrote in Health Affairs about how researchers can respond and collaborate at #ARM25: https://t.co/CkVIOEdakF @academyhealth.bsky.social

When access to public health data is limited, science suffers. Crowdsourcing can help fill some gaps—but it’s no substitute for robust, government-collected data. Read the latest in our @AcademyHealth blog series on data access. Read more https://t.co/EsItX4g9XV

Losing access to inclusive federal data isn’t a niche research problem—it’s a public health problem. It limits what we can measure, who we can see, and what we can fix. Important read from @AcademyHealth board member Ninez Ponce and colleagues: https://t.co/nj9rO9hkWq

NEW @AcademyHealth Situation Report: Stakeholders advocate for AHRQ, NIH faces deep cuts, and proposed Medicaid caps could shift billions in costs to states. These changes would stall research and careers. Read more: https://t.co/8Er2gP8qUk

If we’re serious about improving chronic disease care in the U.S., we need to keep investing in what works. AHRQ’s EvidenceNOW is one of the most effective, scalable models we’ve got. Read more on the @AcademyHealth blog: https://t.co/6m6FvcxEwj

I’ve spent my career advocating for evidence to drive health policy. This budget proposal does the opposite. Medicaid work requirements, cuts to inclusive data, sidelining research—these will hurt real people. Read more via @AcademyHealth: https://t.co/Znmvuuv63F

The administration’s proposed budget isn’t just numbers—it’s a roadmap to dismantle health research. Massive NIH cuts. The functional elimination of AHRQ. Blocked global collaboration. This isn’t politics—it’s the future of health for all. https://t.co/Znmvuuv63F @AcademyHealth

Open, accessible data is the backbone of good research and smart policy. When it disappears, so does our ability to understand what works—and what doesn’t. Here’s why this matters (a lot): https://t.co/nj9rO9hkWq @AcademyHealth

#ARM25’s coming up fast. If you care about the future of the health workforce (and you should), there’s a lot to dig into. Here’s what I’m watching: https://t.co/t4sDicb179 @academyhealth

Join me at an upcoming @AcademyHealth members-only town hall which will offer updates on AHRQ, the HHS reorganization, Medicaid reconciliation, and more. Get the latest from AcademyHealth’s Situation Report: https://t.co/njCKZb3YQX

🚨 Despite reversals on decisions related to an autism registry and women’s health funding, growing threats to medical science, research funding, and the U.S.’s scientific leadership remain. Read the @AcademyHealth Situation Report to take action: https://t.co/njCKZb3YQX

Just wrapped my keynote at #PAS2025: “Why ‘Follow the Science’ Falls Short.” Key message? Evidence doesn’t speak for itself. We do. Let’s communicate with empathy, nuance, and trust. Thanks to @AcadPeds & @AcademyHealth for leading the way. #SciComm #Pediatrics

RT @aaronecarroll: 🧪 "Follow the science" isn’t a strategy—it’s a starting point. Excited to give a keynote at #PAS2025 on Friday on why g…
