The biggest takeaway for me has been really appreciating this chance to present my very academic knowledge on DBLs in a very colloquial way and on a public platform.
Personally, I did not have many opportunities to talk about these tools that may come off as too complex for the wider public. I thought about how difficult it would be to convince my 60+ year old, non-tech savvy parents to make use of a DBL should it be made available for them.
It was an incredible experience for me, and I’ve learned so much about the many ways to communicate my research.
