Knowledge translation (KT) aims to apply health and medical research in practice. This paper critiques KT's current state, highlighting the complex interplay of culture, values, and the challenges of translating scientific evidence in a post-truth political economy. The authors argue that while embracing pluralistic notions of knowledge is crucial, KT must also ensure that scientific evidence maintains an appropriate epistemic primacy in public discourse to counter disinformation and promote democratic outcomes.
