FEEDING TAMPA BAY "Stick A Fork In It" Alexis Weaver - How to Turn Research into Action

In this episode of FEEDING TAMPA BAY "Stick A Fork In It" podcast, we hear from Alexis Weaver of the Urban Institute on How to Turn Research into Action. What does a "think tank" actually do? Well, in the case of the Urban Institute, they compile tons of research about and testimonials from actual community members, and use that information to improve programs and policies that serve them. Alexis Weaver joins us today to explain how important it is to ensure that the things we think are helping people, are actually helping them. And how social services and governments can learn and grow from this work.  Follow @FeedingTampaBay on social media to learn how you can help us grow from this work, too!
