What's Happening in Healthcare
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) is launching a new pilot program aimed at improving care for children with complex conditions. According to CMS Administrator Mehmet Oz and Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation Director Abe Sutton, the goal is to "turn this shoddy patchwork of care into a seamless tapestry."
Meanwhile, a top Trump administration health official has highlighted a major flaw in the president's most-favored nation drug pricing plans. This development comes as the pharmaceutical industry continues to face scrutiny over pricing practices.

Morone describe how scientists became villains to some during the pandemic. This has significant implications for public health and our ability to respond to future crises.
Underestimating the Risks
Alcohol-related liver disease is a growing concern, with some experts suggesting that the problem may be underestimated. This is just one of the many public health challenges that require attention and action.
Dispelling Misinformation
For science communicator Paul Martin Jensen, growing up in an end-times Pentecostal church taught him valuable lessons about dispelling misinformation. His passion for snakes opened a crack in the religious beliefs he was raised with, and he now uses this experience to inform his work in science communication.
