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
More serious concerns about video-centrism in podcasting are laid out nicely in this Vulture piece: www.vulture.com/article/will...
The thing I like the least about recording video for our podcast is the biweekly reminder that I have a lot more gray hair than I used to. 😂 www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5LZ...
"Data enables public health agencies to do everything from spotting emerging threats to tracking how and where they spread to determining which communities and populations need the most support."
Public health agencies need data that's accurate and up-to-date. We talk about how to deliver it on a new episode of our On the Evidence podcast: www.mathematica.org/blogs/modern... @jbwogan.bsky.social #dataSky
It was lovely to have @lauren-supplee.bsky.social on the @mathematicanow.bsky.social podcast to talk about the use of evidence, and even the very meta topic of evidence on the use of evidence. youtu.be/v5LZXpRGmJI?...

"Public health is not that visible. We prevent illness. We prevent bad outcomes. You're not going to see splashy outcomes. You're going to have a healthy person who didn't get sick because they got a vaccine or they weren't exposed to an illness or they didn't eat a contaminated food product." This quote appears alongside a photo of Annie Fine, Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists.
What are the implications of a just-released Pew Charitable Trusts report on the state of public health data across the U.S.? Experts discuss in a new On the Evidence podcast: www.mathematica.org/blogs/modern... #dataSky #medSky @jbwogan.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...
Grateful for this reporting from Kaitlyn Levinson and @routefifty.bsky.social on new research from The Pew Charitable Trusts + @mathematicanow.bsky.social on state public health data policies and practices: www.route-fifty.com/digital-gove...
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.
My conversation on the @mathematicanow.bsky.social podcast with Dr. Hyde about the 30th anniversary of AmeriCorps and how the agency uses data to support communities through national service and volunteerism is here: www.mathematica.org/blogs/how-am...
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...

"Having a statewide Chief Data Officer is a really, really valuable role. And that's really where I would start, because data is not really IT, right? Data is a business asset in many ways."
