Viewpoints: Science Must Rebuild Public Trust; Ways To Mitigate The CTE Risk In Football Players

Editorial writers discuss these public health topics.

As presidents of two private foundations focused on the ethical dimensions of science, we attend many meetings where we hear concerns about declining public trust in science.聽Often, someone in the room will suggest that the solution to this problem is to 鈥渃ommunicate better.鈥 Others will lament that the problem is simply too big for us to solve. The chasm between those responses is telling. (Michelle Groman and Caroline Montojo, 9/14)

Sundays this time of year mean only one thing: Football. As a New York Giants fan, with a new season underway, I can鈥檛 wait to see how Jaxson Dart, the young quarterback, and Malik Nabers, the young wide receiver, will perform in 2026. Yet I鈥檓 disturbed by the eventual cost to many players I root for and against. A number of them will suffer dementia. Some will die by suicide. (Michael Arkush, 9/14)

While some see medical masks as unnecessary relics of a bygone era, many still need to wear them or simply want to. (Megan E. Doherty, 9/14)

Follow the money. (David H. Rosmarin, 9/11)

Asking for accommodations can be a daunting task. (Ella Audrey Scheuerell, 9/14)
