Families are asking whether college is still worth the cost. Graduates are entering a job market that’s changing fast. In my op-ed for @WSJ, I outline five ways higher education can rebuild trust from affordability to outcomes, merit, and accountability.
If us university leaders are willing to reform ourselves—to listen, change and recommit to our core mission—we can again be a trusted engine of the American dream, scientific breakthroughs and the global economy. This work can’t wait, writes @sianbeilock

The University of Michigan is a national leader in biomedical research and technological advancements, but they’ve been stalled due to NIH cuts. I’m working to ensure UM continues to receive federal funding that is crucial to their groundbreaking research.

Too many people recognize their opinions as feelings, but mistake their beliefs for facts.
Closed minds hold truths to be self-evident. Open minds are willing to question even strongly held views.
Lifelong learning requires the courage to challenge our own convictions.

"Aging in place" is a key goal for many older adults.
But our new poll of people age 65+ shows that more than half haven't taken key steps to make their current home more age-friendly or to move to an age-friendly place.

Everyone says they want lower healthcare costs—until someone actually tries to lower them.
In my new @medpagetoday commentary, I explore why evidence-backed reforms like home-administered biologics or site-neutral payments so often meet fierce resistance. Spoiler: it’s not about patient safety. It’s about protecting revenue. Too much of our system treats cost-saving innovation as a threat instead of a goal. But we can’t keep dodging reform and pretending that someone else will pay the bill.
