Getting the Word Out: Helping Scientists Engage with the Public

Register: Getting the Word Out: Helping Scientists Engage with the Public
Join Maiken Scott, reporter from WHYY and Don Sapatkin, reporter at The Philadelphia Inquirer as they discuss how researchers and public health professionals can effectively work with the news media to deliver vital health information.
Communicating scientific advances to the public is an important piece in improving population health. Mass media channels such as radio, television, and print are not only effective dissemination tools, they can also help persuade target audiences to adopt new behaviors. Despite this, public health researchers and practitioners may lack the skills to effectively work with the news media to deliver vital health information. This seminar will address this gap in knowledge.
When: Thursday, March 31, 2016 from 12:00 pm – 1:30 pm
Where: Bodek Lounge, Houston Hall (1st Floor), 3417 Spruce Street
*Refreshments will be provided
