We will particularly focus on communication between analysts/modelers, STLTs/epidemiologists, policy makers and the public, with their unique different skills, perspectives and needs. Dashboards, models and interactive tools that are optimal for one group may not meet the needs of others. The panel will discuss lessons learned and ways to “learn each other’s language,” can enhance decision making.
