CivicSci-Radio is part of Civic Science Media Lab which is an investigative newsroom that covers the civic nature of science to make it more accessible, informative, and actionable for scientists, practitioners and local community leaders. We conduct investigative civic science journalism to interrogate and unravel ongoing progress, & shed light on important issues across the field. Our journalistic endeavor allows us to pose probing questions to various stakeholders to elicit actionable insights on TV, digital print and radio.
In this episode of Consider This Next, Kacie speaks with Britt DeVries, Lead Data Scientist at the Idea Exchange in Miami, Florida about reimagining how science communicators can build meaningful relationships with communities they serve. Through their syringe services program, Britt and her team demonstrate how combining data science with on-the-ground community engagement can create lasting impact. From their success in early outbreak detection to the evolution of their services based on community feedback, the conversation explores how implementation science and trust-building can transform public health outcomes. Britt shares practical insights about meeting people where they are, the power of word-of-mouth in reaching marginalized communities, and using data visualization to tell compelling stories that matter to both academic and community audiences.
