This sobering book by @jamestabery argues that disproportionate investment in the science underlying “precision medicine” has led to less focus on important environmental drivers of poor health. Is the same story repeating in the context of “precision nutrition”? HT @garytaubes

Research possesses immense potential, not only through its discoveries, but also through its capacity to educate and mold policy! Take a look at this recent pub from @ImplementSci, which explores methods to amplify dissemination and augment #ResearchImpact loom.ly/EdPGQBQ

Ignoring this advice entrenches inequality & leaves people in our communities behind, including the 1 in 6 children growing up in poverty. As a wealthy country we can ensure people aren't having to choose between medicine & food so they can get back on their feet & contribute.

How do we ‘scale out’ evidence-based interventions across a health service? Here we used external facilitation and a thorough context assessment guided by the CFIR @DrSusan_deJ journals.lww.com/ijebh/Abstr…

How many Australians are going hungry? We don't know for sure, and that's a big part of the problem theconversation.com/how-many… via @ConversationEDU @SueKleve @Steph_Godrich @drkatherinekent @drmwilliams @IHT_Deakin

How many Australians are going hungry? We don’t know for sure, and that’s a big part of the problem

A country of plenty like Australia should be able to ensure no one is denied their right to adequate food. But food insecurity is on the rise, and we aren’t even properly monitoring the problem.

Food is not the answer to food insecurity. When someone reports difficulty affording enough food, they're also struggling with other basic needs. It's a sign of how dire their economic circumstances are. Policy solutions must address these circumstances, not bolster food charity.
