The American Council on Science and Health is a pro-science consumer advocacy organization based in NYC. We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Our Mission The Council was founded in 1978 by a group of scientists with a singular focus: to publicly support evidence-based science and medicine. Then, as now, too much of what passes as “news” is little more than hype based on exaggerated findings. Activist groups have targeted GMOs, vaccines, conventional agriculture, nuclear power, natural gas, and “chemicals,” while peddling health scares and fad diets. Worse, they have attacked the credibility of academic and private sector scientists, undermining the integrity of the scientific enterprise, by claiming unless they are funded by the government their work is illegitimate. You may be here because you have decided it's time to fight back. We agree. The Council’s primary aim is to inform the public and policymakers of good science while debunking the junk. We serve as trusted guides in a media landscape that too often provides confusing and contradictory information. Our Team We employ a full-time staff who are Ph.D.s and M.D.s. Supporting our work is a nucleus of 300 physicians, scientists, and policy experts on our Board of Scientific Advisors, and they review the Council’s reports and participate in Council seminars, media communications, and other educational activities. Our Work The Council accomplishes its goals by producing a wide range of publications, including peer-reviewed reports on health and environmental topics: we write news articles on this site, which are also sent out in a daily Dispatch newsletter, and we frequently write for the BBC, Economist, USA Today and The Wall Street Journal; we appear regularly on television and radio; we advise policymakers in legislative and regulatory hearings; and we engage in public debates. Additionally, The Council hosts press conferences and provides an in-house internship program for students in the health sciences.
