Evidence and Healthy Public Policy: Insights from Health and Political Sciences

Policy-makers are often challenged when producing public policy to consider the role of evidence, especially scientific evidence. CPRN Research Fellow Patrick Fafard (University of Ottawa) explores this challenge in Evidence and Healthy Public Policy: Insights from Health and Political Sciences, which was produced for the National Collaborating Centre for Healthy Public Policy in collaboration with CPRN. The report focuses on two linked questions: what constitutes evidence in policy-making, and what models of policy-making are available in political science that can inform our understanding of how evidence is used or not used to develop healthy public policy?

Imminent Discovery of Life On Mars?

Life on Mars?Do you think there is life on Mars? Do you think Phoenix will find evidence of it? Now there's a blog that's trying to collect a snapshot of the opinions of scientists, amateurs, and everyday people. "Imminent Discovery" thinks Phoenix may find simple life. Finding this evidence will definitely become headlines… If it happens. Is it possible it might have originated from earth? Perhaps from space, like the famous Antarctica meteorite which was believed to contain evidence of life transported here from Mars?

More Evidence that Exploding Asteroid Caused Mass Extinction

Geological evidence found in Ohio and Indiana in recent weeks is strengthening the case to attribute what happened 12,900 years ago in North America -- when the end of the last Ice Age unexpectedly turned into a phase of extinction for animals and humans – to a cataclysmic comet or asteroid explosion over top of Canada.

Weak evidence links congressmen's cyberattacks to China

U.S. House of Representatives members who worry that China may have been responsible for attacks on their computers have provided little evidence to back up their claims, according to computer security experts.

Scientists Find Evidence Of Water On The Moon

Scientists have decided that evidence collected from the surface of the Moon almost 40 years ago shows that water existed there since its infancy.

Silver provides evidence of 1680s crime

New DNA evidence overturns population migration theory in

An international research team has discovered new DNA evidence to overturn conventional theories that suggest that the present-day populations of Island Southeast Asia (covering the Philippines, Indonesia and Malaysian Borneo) came from Taiwan 4,000 years ago.

Mars Lander Finds Evidence of Ice on Red Planet, NASA Reports

NASA's Phoenix spacecraft found evidence of ice on Mars, NASA reported. The rover discovered dice-size white chunks, which disappeared five days later, leading scientists to believe they were bits of ice that evaporated. Mission scientist Peter Smith explains the discovery.

First Conclusive Evidence Of Alzheimer's-like Brain Tangles In Nonhuman Primates Found

Researchers at the Yerkes National Primate Research Center, Emory University, have discovered the first conclusive evidence of Alzheimer's-like neurofibrillary brain tangles in an aged nonhuman primate. The unprecedented finding has the potential to move the scientific community one step closer to understanding why age-related neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, are uniquely human and seem to never fully manifest in other species--including our closest evolutionary relative, the chimpanzee.

Thief swallows the evidence

A 25-year-old man bit off more than he could chew when he allegedly stole a gold bracelet from an 8-year-old girl and then swallowed the evidence, police in northern Mexico say.

Exploding Asteroid Theory Gains Evidence

About 13,000 years ago, woolly mammoths roamed the North American continent and the first known human society in that region, known as the Clovis civilization, lived there as well. But geologic and archeological evidence shows they both suddenly disappeared, and scientists have long debated the mystery of the mass extinction of both animals and humans about 12,900 years ago. At that time, climatic history suggests the Ice Age should have been drawing to a close, but instead rapid climate change initiated an additional 1,300 years of glacial conditions. But scientists couldn't agree on the cause of the sudden change in climate. However, about two years ago geophysicist Allen West proposed that an asteroid or comet exploded just above the earth’s surface at that time over modern-day Canada, sparking a massive shock wave and heat-generatin
