A busy summer and a new career adventure

Don’t let this long stretch of quiet from me fool you. I’ve been hard at work in the realm of health communication. I gave a couple webinars earlier this summer. The first was for the Principal Investigators Association on strategies for building an effective communication environment. The second was for the Association of Clinical Research Professionals on using communication theory to improve informed consent. The two webinars were a great opportunity for me to teach other clinical research professionals about the importance of communication and how it impacts wide-reaching aspects of our work lives.

Up next, I am preparing to collaborate with a new group on a project to improve how scientists and physicians communicate with lay audiences about risk. I am excited for this new opportunity to share the importance of high quality communication to promote understanding of both science and health care. I hope to make a significant contribution to this important area and maybe even learn something along the way.
