Why do decision makers turn to the National Academies for trusted guidance on the most complex issues? It's not just the experts we bring to the table. It's the rigorous, independent process that shapes every conclusion. Learn more: ow.ly/H93g50ZCtbo

When science is complex or contested, process matters. Our consensus studies bring together leading experts to assess the evidence and consider multiple perspectives. The outcome is findings and recommendations that decision-makers and the public can trust.

The National Academies exist to examine scientific evidence with independence, rigor, and transparency. We refine our understanding as new research emerges because that’s how science works. Our conclusions follow the evidence, not preferences or predetermined outcomes.

The CDC this week cited some of our work in new guidance related to vaccines and autism. However, the citations do not provide the greater context of the full body of work on vaccine safety that is essential for informed debate about this topic. Read our full statement: ow.ly/CA9R50XxETA

The Trump administration pushed out Peter Marks, the nation’s top vaccine regulator and an architect of the U.S. program to rapidly develop coronavirus vaccines.

In his resignation letter, Marks rebuked Kennedy for seeking “subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies” about vaccines.

I just discovered that the Dec 2024 issue of CBE - Life Science Education is a Special Issue on Equity, Inclusion, Access, and Justice. www.lifescied.org/toc/lse/23/4. Bookmark this important collection of articles. The issue starts with a powerful statement from the US National Academies 👇
“Despite substantial investments in programs aimed at helping people from systematically minoritized groups enter, persist, succeed, and thrive in STEMM, significant gaps persist. [These gaps] are the result of systemic and structural issues arising from the legacies of policies and practices designed to disadvantage people from historically minoritized groups along with institutional cultures that, intentionally or otherwise, create exclusionary and discriminatory environments based on biased notions of success and prestige.” (National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. 2023, p. 25–26) https://doi.org/10.17226/26803

The first full draft of the assessment, on the state of America’s land, water and wildlife, was weeks from completion. The project leader called the study “too important to die.”
