In the second episode of our podcast series, we focus on how, as a researcher, you can best communicate your research results with a broader public. We show you that by sharing your results with the media, be it traditional media such as TV, radio or newspapers, or social media, you actually take your responsibility of empowering people to take informed health decisions, and that you are thus caring for society. 

We are grateful for all those who shared their experience and knowledge with us in this episode:
- Anneke Vandendriessche, doctoral student from the health promotion unit
- Pieter Vynckier, doctoral student from the epidemiology and prevention unit
- Els De Waegeneer, postdoctoral researcher from the occupational medicine unit
- Nele Pauwels, information specialist from the Knowledge Center for Health Ghent (www.kcgg.ugent.be)
- Toon Verlinden, The Floor is Yours (www.thefloorisyours.be)

Special thanks also to Yves De Mol from Ghent University’s multimedia team for his technical support (and endless patience!) when recording the interviews.
