How is a damp cellar related to unnecessary resource consumption?

❓ A simple question led to change–evidence instead of routine, lower costs, more time, less waste—a win for patients, care, and the environment.

📖 'Social media—a bridge connecting cancer survivors' problem identification and evidence application'.

💡 This blog discusses how social media can serve as a platform for survivors to share their daily experiences and challenges, have their needs recognised, and receive timely, evidence-based support.

"By using artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted systems wisely, we can transform these public digital platforms into a vital bridge linking real-time problem identification with evidence application—connecting statements like ‘I’m struggling right now’ with actionable insights on ‘what works’".

Bianca reflects on JBI’s impact stories, why they work and how to craft them with rigour, empathy and purpose, through the lens of collaborative knowledge communication.

"World EBHC Day encourages us to keep evidence at the forefront and to renew our commitment to connecting research with practice in meaningful ways. Impact stories are one way we can achieve this — through co-created, context-rich narratives that respect complexity, value lived experiences and highlight contributions."

These LOTE abstracts enhance discoverability and access to knowledge that is actionable for improving lives. In this way they contribute to improving .

Read the blog by Heather McCulloch, Global Communication Coordinator at JBI, which tells the story of a toxic bloom in South Australia that is devastating marine life and bringing harm to human health.

It is also a story of hope, showing us how everyday people take the lead and begin to create their own future.

"As the catastrophe unfolded, and in the perceived absence of initial communication and knowledge about the disaster, communities became the storytellers, scientists, and sentinels, sharing what they saw and what they knew."
