And every year, there is a theme: a small phrase that is supposed to capture the biggest health challenge of the moment. This year’s theme is: “Together for Health. Stand with Science.” It is a good theme. It is also, given everything happening in the world right now, a deeply uncomfortable one. A…

Metal brackets glint on the teeth of teenagers, ceramic braces hide discreetly behind carefully…
