This blog is a forum for sharing our 'warts-and-all' experiences of doing and translating public health research. Posts differ in tone: some are written informally and others formally depending on the subject matter. However, we are not looking for posts that read like a reports or news items.

The most successful posts tend to reflect personal views/experiences and are written by one or two people rather than a group.  These often spark interesting discussion, both on-line and in person.

We hope that the blog provides an insight into public health research for those not directly involved by revealing what is going on ‘behind the scenes’: depicting the joys and frustrations, acting to inspire or provide support to others.

The blog is currently overseen and edited by a friendly group of Fuse members. We publish blog posts once a week and publicise these via our main twitter account (@fuse_online) and Facebook page (www.facebook.com/fuseonline).  

How to contribute

We welcome posts of 500-700 words from anyone involved in public health and are happy to discuss any ideas for posts with you.
