Over this weekend, while Frank, Francis, and I were all at the conference, dedicated Team HBV at Harvard members were finishing up educational outreach at Harvard Citizenship classes, handing out postsurveys.

We have really thrown ourselves into this outreach program, and I am so proud of the improvements we've made over last year's work (which is what we presented on at the conference):

- BIG posters! We ordered 18x24 posters from a cheap online source (shortrunposters.com)
- Revised curriculum, including an emphasis differences between hep A, B, C
- higher quality presenters: our educators were required to memorize a "script" - I hesitate to call it this because it is mostly a detailed set of important points that they must cover throughout the presentation
- better presenter training
- better handouts: a better designed presentation summary handout

Our improved quality has really been reflected in the level of audience participation. Having nice posters and well-designed handouts were so crucial to giving us a professional appearance, and attracted their attention right from the start. The increased clarity of the presentation also has helped to foster really great discussions - every week, someone has a story about a stimulating conversation in the classroom.

Great work team! I am so proud.
