3. I believe the public “ordinary person” also bears some responsibility to reach out. Most outputs are open source, and there are almost always ongoing symposiums in every city. The problem might be interest. Some are simply not interested.
I agree but there are some considerations.
1. Almost every researcher, or at least the people I work with, usually has a dissemination strategy. Peer-reviewed publication is one option, and it serves a purpose (to advance science and inform policy and practice).
No they actually need to speak more clearly. If you want the only people to find your work accessible to be fellow researchers, then fine. But if you genuinely want your work to reach the ordinary person, why wouldn’t you use the language that they understand
2. There is also community dissemination or public engagement, where the findings are shared with the general public, including the study participants. I agree that research should be accessible, but not all of it can be translated into a media-like report for the “ordinary”.
Any teacher willing to establish a Boys Club in their school, I’m ready to support by bringing mentors and joining them personally to engage with the boys.
We need to be intentional about raising responsible, confident, and well-rounded young men. We’ll have conversations on mental health, personal hygiene, discipline, leadership, self-esteem, and life skills.
Let’s invest in raising a better generation of men. 💙

It was a great honour to have an audience with the King of the Ashanti Kingdom in Kumasi today.
I thanked His Majesty for his support for the Church of Ghana and for the Ghanaian people. We reflected on our shared Anglican faith, and our shared calling as fellow pilgrims in the way of Jesus Christ.
Thank you, Your Majesty, for your hospitality and for this time of conversation, prayer and worship together.
America is a constant work in progress. Every generation must take up the unfinished work of the last and carry it further—protecting what’s right, fixing what’s wrong, and making our union a little more perfect. 250 years later, that’s more important than ever.
