This was such a great "Wicked Problems" session at #ICRE2025 yesterday.
This morning, I read this article from the Psychological Safety newsletter that resonated with the discussion about individual-level solutions for systems-level problems - worth a read!

The measles vaccine is safe, free, widely available, and very effective.

Was it just a small study?
