Over two years ago, we identified a challenge that many people have experienced firsthand: the gap between scientific discoveries and the people who need that knowledge the most. The urgency of this issue was magnified during the COVID-19 pandemic when confusion about what was factual and what was misinformation spread rapidly. People were unsure which information was credible and grounded in scientific evidence and which was merely hearsay.

This realization sparked our mission.

We knew that scientific knowledge should be more accessible and engaging, and we believed that science is a public good meant to benefit everyone. Over the past two years, we’ve committed to publishing the most up-to-date and cutting-edge scientific literature, carefully curated for practitioners, researchers, and students.

Taking Our Mission to the Next Level

Today, we’re excited to announce the next step in our journey: our new Public Health Article Feed. We now offer daily updates with the most recent and groundbreaking information in public health. But we don’t stop there — we distill this information into clear, plain language to make it easy for you to understand what’s relevant and why it matters. Whether you’re a seasoned professional or someone simply trying to stay informed, you can now access concise summaries with links to full-text articles if you wish to dive deeper.

Science as a Public Good

At the heart of our mission is the belief that science belongs to everyone. By reaching out and connecting with more people working in public health, we can ensure that the hard work of researchers and practitioners doesn’t remain confined to academic journals. Instead, we’re making that knowledge available to improve the health and well-being of our communities — and beyond.

Together, we can accelerate the adoption of evidence-based practices, which will lead to healthier communities worldwide.
