#DIScience24 is over but still so much to talk about! Kudos to @monica-p-jolles.bsky.social for bringing it home in the closing plenary with @enolaproctor.bsky.social and Drs. Agulnik, Iwelunmor, & Helfrich. Another great discussion! @accordsresearch.bsky.social #impsci #AcademicSky
Wonderful debate at #DIScience24! Dr. Irie did an amazing job stressing the opportunities to build lasting, relationships/infrastructure when we play the long game. Loved Dr. @leorahorwitzmd.bsky.social ‘s notes on hustling when we have solid evidence, low-risk opportunities, etc. #TeamItDepends
Rinad Beidas, PhD@rsbeidas.bsky.social · 2y agoI am getting so excited to moderate this debate featuring brilliant scholars and colleagues, Drs. @leorahorwitzmd.bsky.social, Whitney Irie, and Andrew Quanbeck. What is the right pace for #impsci? Fast, slow, or in-between? You'll have to join us to find out! You don't want to miss this one.
@monica-p-jolles.bsky.social the final plenary- we have all the pieces in #impsci we just need to put them together! #DIScience24
That’s a wrap on another wonderful D&I conference! Grateful for this opportunity every December to connect with colleagues near and far who are dedicated to thinking deeply about how to use #impsci to make meaningful and sustained impact. #DIScience24
Feels fitting that while at #DIScience24 @nufeinbergmed.bsky.social did a feature story on our growing implementation science community! So proud to be part of this dream team! news.feinberg.northwestern.edu/2024/12/09/a...

So glad someone got a picture of this!! Our team has started contracting with a graphic designer to summarize our results for community partners. The feedback has been very positive!! #DIScience24
Nick Rattray@nickrattray.bsky.social · 2y agoSuch a fun and useful infographic from Sara Becker and team on implementation from aimed at Chicagoland sites in MIMIC study #DIScience24 #impsci
Day 1 of #DIScience24 is in the books 🎉 We love to see these 📸 from our Director @bjweiner.bsky.social of some of our @uofwa.bsky.social #GlobalHealth #impsci colleagues at #DIScience24! 📸: Bryan Weiner w/ Grace Umutesi, Bryan w/ Kristin Beima-Sofie, David Katz, Sarah Masyuko w/ Arianna Means 🌟💜💛
#DIScience24 #academyhealth one of the best sessions I could attend as a junior faculty member doing implementation science. IS requires flexibility, open communication, and DOCUMENTATION!
Strong endorse!! Loved the speakers’ candor about when #ImpSci trials go off the rails (which they do and they will) and how to get them back on track (and how to prevent that by piloting more than you think and having contingency plans and trial modification rules up front)
Tina Studts, PhD, MSW, MSPH@tstudts.bsky.social · 2y ago#discience24 #academyhealth @accordsresearch.bsky.social THOROUGHLY enjoying my fav session in 10+ years of attending: Rescuing impl trials that have gone off the rails! #impsci researchers feel seen :) - thx @sjlandes.bsky.social Geoff Curran JD Smith Alison Hamilton (also come to BSky y’all)
Look out #DIScience24! 28 UW researchers, including a big cohort of Ph.D. students, are coming to a poster, podium, or plenary session near you. Check out the details in the post below. See you there!
ImpSci @ UW@impsciuw.bsky.social · 2y ago📆 Only a few short days until #DIScience24 kicks off, and the 28 @uofwa.bsky.social researchers presenting are gearing up to meet you all in Virginia.

UW Madison School of Pharmacy faculty, staff, & graduate students have approximately 10 presentations and posters at the Academy Health #DIScience24 Conference! Look for our sessions on complex implementation strategies, OTC meds for older adults, a nationally recognized COPD EBP and FRAM modeling.
I’m attending #AcademyHealth #discience24! There’s a talk on climate science & relating with D&I. As a citizen of a heavily-impacted LMIC, I wonder if it’s part of the convo to build skill and investment for D&I within LMICs to address health impacts.
This is my first conference since leaving the dark place and searching for #DIScience24 and actually finding content brings me such joy!! Me following everyone posting about the conference rn

Today I had the pleasure of leading a #dissemination planning session with @rwjf.bsky.social Systems 4 Action grantees @cuanschutz.bsky.social. Hearing the unique ideas about audiences, messaging, and communication channels for innovative products for improving health & equity was so inspiring.

My sister had this phone in her room when she was a senior (I was 13). Whenever she was out I would sneak into her room to make phone calls.
