Frances Woolley, a university professor, argues that long-term care is a critical policy challenge for aging Baby Boomers but gets ignored because people find it uncomfortable. She believes scholars have an ethical duty to research questions with real-world relevance.

For me, you know, I'm in an incredibly privileged position to be a university professor and able to do research. And to me, you know, having that privilege, you're really responsible to do research that matters to people and answer the questions that matter to people. And I think right now, long-term care is one of the issues that matters the most from a public policy perspective. And it doesn't get the attention because it's scary. We don't want to think about it.
