"We need active learning communities like
@ssrc_org's #MercuryProject: Spaces [that] accelerate the ability to identify information gaps while identifying innovative ways to stack the knowledge we already have." -

Anna Harvey - remember that a lot of our good ideas don't work, we need to be constantly testing and gathering evidence. Need to evaluate if what we're doing is working. (And that evaluation is easier if researchers are involved before implementation) /11 #MercuryProject

Final tips for students in the room. Public health content is traditionally boring, but it doesn't have to be, learn from popular creators. What do they do to engage their audience? Copy those skills - Viknesh Sounderajah #MercuryProject /10

Viknesh Sounderajah from YouTube Health - YouTube has one of the strictest policies against medical misinformation on platform. Also promotes and labels official trusted sources. But it's useful if creators make better and more engaging content! /9 #MercuryProject

If you're explaining and pushing back against opponents then you're not promoting your message. But we also need to explain science broadly and correct misbeliefs. It's a tough balance - Abdul El-Sayed #MercuryProject /8

When speaking for government ppl talk in taupe very careful very muted lots of jargon. But that's boring, does not work well on social media. Ppl like gossip/conflict ppl saying the govt is wrong get a lot of views. How can we fight back? - Abdul El-Sayed

Also, why should people trust us when we show up during a crisis with a new drug/vaccine if we aren't there with their daily health issues (eg cousin who can't afford insulin). Abdul El-Sayed at #MercuryProject solutions summit /6

Abdul El-Sayed ids a problem - currency of science is publications. That means that we focus on things that are easy to measure and count. But in his county issue around vaccines is "The vibes aren't right" -how can we capture that? And how do we fix it? /5 #MercuryProject

Deepa Pokharel from UNICEF talking about global immunization- COVID-19 was a huge disruptor, immunization rates fell to that of 30 years before, now starting to recover & some countries back to baseline but signs of stagnation. Importance of moving from evidence to implementation /4 #MercuryProject

Last morning - now back in Nairobi for the #MercuryProject Solutions Summit. Highly highly recommend Kicheche Mara and the Mara North Conservancy. Fabulous guides, staff, meals and accommodations (in addition to the wonderful wildlife).

1/ It was a pleasure to support Charles Senteio in charting his own intellectual journal over the past two years, which in turn exemplifies the power of the #MercuryProject Research Consortium. comminfo.rutgers.edu/senteio-char...

Graphics card reading: What is solutions-oriented researchers effectively communicated their findings in ways appealing to--and actionable by--the public, press, and policymakers. To support the adoption of vaccine-demand evidence in practice, #MercuryProject: (1) Convenes teams to collectively consider questions such as how to become an effective communicator; (2) Connects teams with outside experts, such as comms whizzes Estelle Willie and Ann Searight Christiano; and (3) Co-creates useful products, such as our Mercury Project Evidence Uptake Checklist
1/ @ssrc_org's #MercuryProject has 18 awesome teams (120+ social & behavioral scientists!). We also come together as a consortium to learn from another and outside experts, making us better than when we started and greater than the sum of our parts.

Graphics card reading: To ensure vaccines get out of inventory systems and into immune systems, people must: (1) have access to accurate information about vaccines and vaccine-preventable diseases; (2) Be equipped to navigate potentially contradictory and misleading vaccine information; and (3) Be supported in the act of securing a vaccination. Mercury Project teams investigate how to do this in cost-effective, scalable ways.
5/ You can learn more about the 18 teams--working in 16 countries and on multiple platforms--supported by the #MercuryProject here: ssrc.org/programs/the...

A graphics card reading: Vaccinations provide a significant ROI: USD 54 for every USD 1 spent (Gavi's numbers). These returns aren't guaranteed just because vaccines are discovered and distributed. We need to fund vaccines--and vaccinations.
1/ A new post w/ #MercuryProject Co-Director Rebecca Gluskin (and plenty of awesome editorial support) on strengthening "demand chains" to achieve high, equitable vaccination around the world to ensure everyone, everywhere benefits from vaccination.

Enjoyed this! I failed the Moses test but after that tracked pretty well! Still 🍜ing on how different mechanisms of action (e.g., ⬇️ skepticism overall but w/ discernment) relate to what we want a healthy info environment to look like (e.g., lower sharing volume?) #MercuryProject @lkfazio.bsky.social
