In this EIC Podcast episode, we spoke to researchers with two different approaches to tackling the same problem: knowledge mobilization. Knowledge mobilization focuses on making knowledge, resources or practices that exist in one space and making them accessible to specific audiences. We talked about the work behind SOSNetLab (Social Opportunity Space Networking Lab) and the Research-to-Policy Collaboration, barriers to this type of research and implementation, and what the future has in store for addressing this problem.
We spoke to Taylor Scott, PhD., co-director of the Research-to-Policy Collaboration and assistant research professor at the Edna Bennett Pierce Prevention Center at Penn State, and Alan J. Daly, PhD., SOSNetLab chief executive dreamer and professor at University of California, San Diego as well as SOSNetLab’s full team, which includes: Mimi Lockton, Ed.D., SOSNETLAB chief project Catalyzer and doctoral candidate at the University of California San Diego; Anita Caduff, SOSNETLAB chief swiss army knife and Ph.D. candidate at the University of California San Diego, and Martin Rehm, Ph.D., SOSNETLAB chief data wrangler and post-doctoral scholar at the University of Regensburg in Germany.
