1Day Sooner leads campaigns in science, policy, and bioethics to stop the world’s most harmful infectious diseases. We advocate for volunteers who participate in high-impact medical studies, including human challenge studies. www.1daysooner.org
The U.S. is sitting on a goldmine of health data. The data that exists could transform medicine and save lives. Right now it’s locked in silos across Medicare, Medicaid, VA & more.

Proud to have signed on to this act. Looking forward to seeing progress on indoor air quality!
Poor indoor air quality (IAQ) impacts kids and communities across our nation. Today, my colleague Brian Fitzpatrick and I introduced the bipartisan Indoor Air Quality and Healthy Schools Act to address this threat, improve IAQ nationwide, and protect public health.

On #WorldMalariaDay, we’re reminded that access & vaccine costs can mean life or death.

🦟 Malaria caused 249M cases & 608K deaths in 2022 alone. It’s time to embrace this year's theme: "reinvest, reimagine, reignite." 1Day Africa’s Dir spoke with The Economist on bridging this gap. bit.ly/4cPGeBs
