This is the inaugural convening of WashU Public Health’s Dissemination & Implementation Science Innovation Research Network (DISIRN). This event will convene researchers, journalists, practitioners, and policymakers to examine what it means to communicate effectively when information systems falter, and identify practical approaches — grounded in implementation science — that help credible, evidence-based messages travel farther and faster than the myths they seek to replace.

The event’s keynote speakers are public health expert Jessica Steier, DrPH, founder and CEO of the “Unbiased Science” podcast; and Heidi Miller, MD, chief medical officer of the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services. Join them and other experts as they examine how implementation science, stronger communication strategies, and system-level solutions can help credible information rise above the noise and better support public health decision-making.

The event is free and open to the public. The talks and panels end at 12:30; in-person attendees are invited to stay for a networking lunch with speakers and panelists.

Registration is required.
