Robert J. Zimmer Medal for Intellectual Freedom


The Academy’s Robert J. Zimmer Medal for Intellectual Freedom, named for the late President of the University of Chicago and a stalwart defender of academic freedom, is presented annually to a public thinker who displays extraordinary courage in the exercise of intellectual freedom.




JAY BHATTACHARYA


2024 Recipient of the Robert J. Zimmer Medal for Intellectual Freedom


For over twenty years, Dr. Bhattacharya has been a leading authority on biomedical innovation, the economics of health care, and public policy affecting the health of vulnerable populations. He has produced over 200 scholarly publications, directs Stanford University’s Center for Demography and Economics of Health and Aging, and is affiliated with prominent national institutions such as the National Bureau of Economics Research.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr. Bhattacharya, like so many others, pivoted his work to make his formidable expertise available to the public in its time of dire need. And, as happens so often in the practice of science, his findings did not immediately and completely confirm what many people were expecting him to find. In the fear and uncertainty of that undeniably challenging global emergency, some public officials found themselves asking: Can we afford to permit scientists to publicize unexpected findings and express ideas and opinions that deviate from those policies initially advocated and widely instituted? Or does our responsibility to public safety somehow require us to use administrative power to project and enforce the appearance of consensus in the findings of science, and the opinions of scientists?

Dr. Bhattacharya’s response demonstrated the courage and firm commitment to intellectual freedom that the Zimmer Medal exists to honor. He not only resolutely refused despite enormous pressure to compromise his scientific findings, but placed at risk his own personal and professional self-interest, repeatedly, without hesitation, to take a stand for the public’s right to unrestricted scientific discussion and debate.

The Academy was honored to present the 2024 Robert J. Zimmer Medal for Intellectual Freedom to Dr. Jay Bhattacharya.

interacting with a few posters on SI they seem to have lost their minds, in real life I don't know anyone that crazy. All the evidence points to trump being an awful person, the last person you would want running anything but they do not care. Sexual assaults, so what, fraud who cares, Lies, doesn't matter. Likes Tyrants and Dictators, must be good guys, stole state secret documents, they were his. Jan 6th insurrection, a love fest. The fact trump can't control his bowels, is really old and losing it doesn't concern them.
