KEYNOTE SPEAKERS:
Erin Welsh, PhD & Erin Allmann Updyke, MD, PhD
Hosts of
This Podcast Will Kill You

Erin and Erin began This Podcast Will Kill You in 2017 for two primary reasons: first, because they had begun to feel an increasing disconnect between academic research and the general public and wanted to try to bridge that gap, and second, because they just loved talking about diseases.

In this keynote, Erin and Erin share some of their lessons in science communication, including the importance of striking a balance between clarity and depth, how to tailor your explanation for a specific audience, and why admitting what you don’t know is an undervalued strength.

 Other speakers include: 

- Dr. David Higgins- Investigator | ACCORDS - Adult and Child Center for Outcomes Research and

Delivery Science, Attending Physician | Child Health Clinic, Section of General Academic Pediatrics

University of Colorado School of Medicine | Children’s Hospital Colorado
