Summary: This month we had the opportunity to chat with Dr. Kerry Anne McGeary at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. Kerry Anne is an economist who transitioned from a more traditional academic research role into the role of program officer at the Foundation. She is great to chat with -- she is smart but sensible; she is a skilled and experienced researcher but knows how to get things done in the real world; and she cares about her work and its impact! We pick Kerry Anne's brain about how to measure and track impact when changes to health culture and behaviors take so long to unfold; how she uses her training as a researcher to inform her work for the Foundation; and the role that culture can play in shaping health behaviors. We enjoyed learning from Kerry Anne and, as usual, think you will, too!
