My New Adventure: Public Health United

Hello! Again it has been a while since my last post. Thank you for your continued support!

I wanted to let you all know that I am starting a podcast called Public Health United. It's about improving communication between public health professionals and the public. Each episode will feature guests from the Johns Hopkins public health community (and hopefully from elsewhere eventually) who will discuss the topic of the month, common misinformation about this topic, and how we can get better at communicating to the public. We hope that these discussions will help improve public confidence in our research and interventions.

The first episode, "Public Health Miscommunication" features Steven Salzberg, PhD ("Fighting Pseudoscience" Forbes Magazine), Photini Sinnis, MD (Johns Hopkins School of Public Health), & Andy Pekosz, PhD (Johns Hopkins School of Public Health).

Please check out our website at www.publichealthunited.org and like our Facebook page. Let us know if you have ideas for shows/guests or would like to contribute to "News Analysis" mini-episodes or Op-Eds. We'd love to get feedback from you!
