Notes

Andrew Maynard, MDDUS's director of the Risk Innovation Lab, created a podcast series, Risk Bites, to help doctors understand and communicate risks. These videos combine a unique whiteboard style with short scripts to explain risk issues in simple terms. They cover topics such as health, environmental, and human perception of risk. The goal of these videos is to provide credible online education and are actively seeking ways to increase their reach and web visibility.
The channel uses smart narratives and simple whiteboard-style graphics to illustrate complex topics. This approach has helped them attract over 3 million views in the past year and is used by organizations and news outlets to educate their audience. The videos also educate about how the public can prevent and reduce risk. They are accessible to anyone who wants to learn about various subjects. But the videos do not aim to be educational in nature. Instead, they aim to make science and risk communication more accessible to the general public.

Using the whiteboard style and short scripts, Risk Bites videos tackle complex issues and are simple enough for middle-schoolers to understand. The goal of these videos is to convey sophisticated perspectives on risk. By using real-world examples and drawing on the latest research, they aim to engage viewers and make them think about various risk scenarios. The project is currently looking to expand its reach and expand its content to reach more people. The main aim is to create more educational videos and create a new format for online video.
