Customer Reviews
Informative interview
This is a great concise interview. I really hope to see Dr. Shalala’s prediction that we’re entering the Golden age of healthcare and science. Greatly appreciate the discussion on alternative publication methods and how to get the research in front of our policy makers.

Bravo! Prevention science must address social determinants of health! Bridging the gaps between what we know and what we do! Thank you for this talk and helping to systematically connect the dots between policy/practice and engaging law/change makers with what we know works! Excited to learn from you.
