Today my guest is epidemiologist Dr. Becky Dawson, and we are exploring "getting public": public scholarship, putting yourself out there, communicating your scholarship to a wider audience. She has really leaned into the "public" of her field, public health. We talk about how Covid19 shoved Becky into a very public spotlight, and how she has continued to develop that public voice through doing facebook lives, blogging, continuing TV appearances, and working with community members on public health. We will also get into the painful side of taking your scholarship public, where you are open to criticism and critique. For full show notes, visit www.cathymazak.com/episode115.
