Knowing is not enough.

Dr Antonio Dans is like IRON MAN, discussing how translational research results into policy, telling the story about how research became the success of the SinTax

SinTax decreased the number of individuals who never smoked, reducing the number of current smokers.

What do we need?
*more open space
*more walkable roads
*make healthy food readily available

The link between research and policy is advocacy.

Who are advocates?

The most important studies are inversely proportional to getting it funded.  We need to kneel, beg and scrape for each bit of funding for our research.

Dans: You don't need to be discoverers, be problem-solvers!
