We are excited to share a recent blog written Dr. Mezuk and published in the Interdisciplinary Assocation for Population Health Sciences (IAPHS) Blog. 

In the article, Dr. Mezuk reflects on what it means to ‘invest’ in science and health research within the context of the current administation’s push to reduce “government waste” and reconsider federal funding for the health sciences. The article draws from the investment advice of Warren Buffet to outline concrete ways in which we can improve our approach to federal and societal investment in health, calling into question what role investment has in population health research and the pursuit of health equity (who benefits from advancements in health research?).
