Discovery Dialogues
The Discovery Dialogues are a regularly occurring series of one-hour, midday events bridging the gap between scientists, the public and public health research.
All are welcome to attend, especially members of the public wishing to learn more about the research happening at Virginia Commonwealth University. Presentations are tailored to a broad audience, and researchers leave time for questions that guide and shape their future research.
Past topics include:
- Managing emotional wellbeing after a brain cancer diagnosis
- Understanding why mothers and babies miss their prenatal and well-child visits
- Discovering ways to help women with opioid use disorder during the postpartum period
- Aging in place: How technology can help
