It has become increasingly important for geriatric providers, researchers, policy makers, and other professionals to promote their work and maximize the impact of their accomplishments. The benefits include public awareness and interest around a research topic, promoting future funding opportunities and investment, personal professional development and advancement, and an increased national presence on a topic. Learning Objectives: (1) write a compelling narrative piece to promote awareness and interest in a topic or cause; (2) collaborate with the media to translate research for a broader lay audience; and (3) utilize digital audio media outlets or podcasts to engage with a broader scientific audience.
