Federal agencies, advisory committees, and non-governmental organizations like the National Academies can inform policymaking by providing evidence and recommendations to guide decisions on public issues. At our November 3 Climate Conversations webinar, Ben Zaitchik and Lauren Wustenberg will discuss how science is incorporated into policy at different levels of government, and opportunities for science and scientists to engage in this space.

"History shows that when it comes to space nuclear power, the United States is far better at setting goals than seeing them through." A new article in Issues in Science and Technology explores a new directive to build a nuclear reactor on the Moon, why past U.S. space nuclear programs have failed, and what is needed to ensure that this time is different.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) can have lasting physical, cognitive, and emotional health impacts. A recent National Academies workshop explored TBI as a chronic condition and opportunities to improve lifelong care. Read about presentations and discussions from the workshop — including perspectives from TBI patients that underscore the human impact of these issues and the importance of sustained, multidisciplinary support for recovery and well-being: https://ow.ly/C3uU50XhOjU #TraumaticBrainInjury #TBI #BrainInjury #ChronicHealthConditions #ChronicPain

Congratulations to this year's winners of our Eric and Wendy Schmidt Awards for Excellence in Science Communications! Follow SciComm Excellence to learn more about the winners and their work.
Congratulations to the 2025 winners of the National Academies Eric and Wendy Schmidt Awards for Excellence in Science Communications! The awards, given by The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine in partnership with Schmidt Sciences, recognize science journalists, research scientists, and science communicators who have developed creative, original work to communicate issues and advances in science, engineering, and medicine to the general public. “These outstanding communicators remind us that knowledge becomes powerful when it is shared,” said selection committee chair Megan L. Ranney, a member of the National Academy of Medicine and dean of the Yale School of Public Health. “By reaching across disciplines, mediums, and communities, they not only inform but also inspire, helping all of us see how science shapes our daily lives and our shared future.” Learn more about the 2025 winners: https://lnkd.in/g-weCeu6 #sciencecommunication #science #sciencejournalism

The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine reposted this
Yesterday, we were delighted to formally induct 100 new members of the NAM who were elected to the Academy in 2024. We celebrated their incredible contributions to science and public health during a ceremony attended by their families and friends. These remarkable individuals represent a broad spectrum of fields, including biomedical research, clinical medicine, public health, health policy, engineering, law, and beyond -- and each of them has committed to support the NAM's vision of health for everyone, everywhere. Congratulations and welcome!
