Highlights

  • Scientific journals facing political interference, cuts
    Health science journals, including APHA’s AJPH, have attracted interference from the Trump administration, raising concerns about federal overreach.
  • Health officials keeping watchful eye on H5N1 mutations in US
    As the bird flu outbreak that has killed millions of poultry and cattle across the U.S. drags on, scientists are warning the virus is only a few mutations away from person-to-person transmission.
  • Q&A with Michael Osterholm: Vaccine Integrity Project to serve as trusted voice on science
    The Vaccine Integrity Project, launched in April by the Center for Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota, is working to safeguard the use of vaccines in the face of skepticism and misinformation.
  • Weight-loss drugs providing hope for some, but not for all
    GLP-1 weight loss medications can be beneficial for some people with obesity. But Americans with low incomes or who lack comprehensive employer health insurance coverage often struggle to obtain the treatments, creating disparities.
  • Eliminating HRSA would be massive blow to US public health, well-being
    Tens of millions of vulnerable Americans could lose critical public health services if the Trump administration eliminates the Health Resources and Services Administration.
  • White House budget would further hurt US public health system
    The federal budget for fiscal year 2026 includes dramatic cuts across public health agencies that could leave the country more vulnerable to infectious disease outbreaks, increase homelessness and reduce access to health care.
