Webinar on Research Communication


The USC Community Outreach and Engagement Program hosted a webinar today,  “Communicating Research on Diesel and Your Health.” This webinar is the first in the Research in Action series being developed by the team. Over 100 participants joined the webinar to discuss the topic from the Moving Forward Network and the network on Partnerships for Environmental Public Health.  This included community, public health, government, academic and research, air agency, legal, healthcare, and environmental justice organizations.  The team looks forward to receiving suggestions on future webinar topics, to continue the discussions between research and community audiences.
