HI Everyone,
I got this from a list I am on and thought it might be of interest to some in the group:
“Check out Jonathan Lomas on the new podcast now available from KTExchange.org, the knowledge translation Web portal. “The Godfather Speaks” is filled with humor and insight from the former chief executive of the Canadian Health Services Research Foundation (CHSRF).
The Canadian Institutes for Health Research refers to Lomas as “The Godfather” of Canadian knowledge translation work, and he is world-renowned for his efforts to bring research evidence to bear on health management and policy-making. In 2009, the Canadian government awarded him “Officer of the Order of Canada” for his decades of work in this vital area.
This 37-minute podcast is available at your knowledge transla TExchange.org. On the podcast, Lomas talks about the founding of the CHSRF, the development of their “linkage and exchange” philosophy, the striking differences between Canadian and American knowledge translation, and his forecast for the future of American evidence-based policy.
If someone you know would be interested in this podcast, please forward them this email, and urge them to join KTExchange.org!”
