Dr. Tilly Gurman, who serves as research director for the Health Communication Capacity Collaborative (HC3), was interviewed by NPR’s Goats and Soda blog on the importance of hashtags in global health campaigns. Gurman has published research on the use of social networking sites in health promotion and health education; a recent article in the peer-reviewed Journal of Health Communication analyzed health organizations’ use of Twitter following the 2010 Haiti earthquake.

NPR Goats and Soda editor Malaka Gharib wrote about a “battle of hashtags” leading up to the 2015 International Day of the Girl. To read Gurman’s commentary and the full article, please visit NPR Goats and Soda.
