I want great research to be accessible and relationships to be stronger. As such, I embrace translational scholarship and am committed to working with excellent media outlets to ensure they’re getting the best, most current, and highly credible content. Although many researchers believe our obligations end with creating knowledge, I believe we have both an obligation and opportunity to advance the common good by getting the knowledge we create directly into the hands of people who can benefit from it.
