The YMCA recently changed its schedule, causing my swim workout time to coincide with an Aqua Zumba class. The energy and motivation from the Zumba class participants chanting and dancing to the Wobble song next to me was infectious and inspiring. It set the tone for a great weekend ahead.

In recent news, President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a well-known environmental lawyer and vaccine skeptic, for the position of Secretary of Health and Human Services. This choice has sparked controversy, with the Senate needing to confirm RFK Jr. for the role. The nomination has raised concerns among moderate Republicans, and Trump has hinted at bypassing the confirmation process altogether.

Measles vaccination coverage worldwide has not fully recovered to pre-Covid levels, leading to a 20% increase in measles cases in 2023. The World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control reported that over 22 million children who should have been vaccinated last year did not receive a single dose of the measles vaccine. Despite global efforts to eliminate measles transmission, challenges persist in reaching every child due to the current economic climate.

There is hope on the horizon for treating a deadly childhood brain cancer known as Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Gliomas (DIPG) with CAR-T therapy. This innovative treatment involves attaching cancer-seeking receptors to the patient’s own immune cells, showing promising results in shrinking tumors and prolonging survival. While progress has been made in the treatment of DIPG, challenges remain in commercializing the therapy and reaching all patients in need.

The FDA, under the leadership of Robert Califf, is taking action on ultra-processed foods like chicken nuggets and cookie bars. Efforts are underway to lower sodium levels in food and update the definition of a ‘healthy’ claim on food labels.

A recent Pew Research Center survey indicates a rise in Americans’ trust in scientists, but with reservations about their involvement in public policy debates. While confidence in scientists to act in the public’s best interests has increased, opinions are split on whether scientists should engage in policy discussions. Additionally, perceptions of scientists as good communicators are mixed, highlighting the need for better communication strategies.

In other news, AI’s role in reviewing scientific literature, inefficiencies in scientific research, bird flu detection in wastewater, and disparities in infant mortality rates are topics of interest in the scientific and public health community. The ongoing dialogue surrounding RFK Jr.’s nomination and the intersection of chronic disease entrepreneurs with the Trump administration continue to shape the landscape of health policy and advocacy.
