🧬 Some of the most meaningful shifts in global health begin with a single question: how do we turn evidence into lasting impact?​ ​ In this episode of Milestones in Pediatric Nutrition, Prof. Andrew Prentice speaks with Prof. Zulfiqar Bhutta, 2025 Virchow Prize recipient, whose journey from clinical pediatrics in Pakistan to global health leadership has been defined by one driving purpose: preventing the suffering he once saw at the bedside.​ ​ Their conversation traces how nutrition science has evolved — from expert opinion to the systematic reviews and meta‑analyses that now underpin WHO guidance — and how robust evidence gained the power to change policy, investment, and outcomes.​ ​ At the center of this shift is the landmark 2013 Lancet series, which Prof. Bhutta led. With over 4,000 citations, it quantified the potential of evidence‑based nutrition interventions across the life course, showing that nutrition‑specific actions could reduce stunting by up to 30–40%, and that deeper gains come from combining them with nutrition‑sensitive strategies.​ ​ But perhaps the most compelling part of the discussion is the reminder that evidence doesn’t move the world on its own. People do.​ Context matters. Country realities matter. Advocacy matters. And scientists have a responsibility that extends beyond publication — to ensuring their findings reach the policies, programs, and communities they’re meant to serve.​ ​ 🎧 Listen now:​ 🔗 Website: https://nes.tl/fcr5xp 📱 NNI365 App: https://nes.tl/ra3rr0 ​ #NNI #MilestonesInPediatricNutrition #EvidenceBasedNutrition #GlobalHealth​ #NutritionPolicy #LancetSeries #ScienceToAction #MaternalAndChildHealth​ #TurningEvidenceIntoImpact #PolicyAction
