The Catalyst Podcast from the CPSE Center for Innovation is your source for ideas and innovations to help you and your agency in its pursuit of excellence. Each month there will be conversations with leaders and experts, both from within the fire and emergency services and from other fields. You can listen to it here, the Center for Innovation website, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Episode 4 features Dr. Sara Jahnke, president of Science to the Station, discussing the importance of translating research into practical tools that fire departments can actually use. The conversation describes how both CPSE and S2S are approaching this, with S2S’s Breaking Science reports communicating findings from academic articles in a simple one-pager and CPSE Center for Innovation Strategic Scans providing timely information and actionable takeaways on emerging fire service issues. Both organizations share a focus on translation, dissemination and helping departments make evidence-informed decisions.
