Bringing critical, evidence-based information to the public is an often overlooked element to the research endeavour, but has an enormous societal impact. It can be tough to coordinate with a full research and teaching load, but if Prof Parker can make the time it certainly encourages the rest of us to do the same!

Radio is a uniquely effective medium in a country where many areas are under-resourced and access to computers and the internet is limited. 

Prof Parker also has a free textbook on pain, which can be downloaded here, either as the full textbook or as individual chapters. This makes it easier to share via whatsapp, a powerful resource that is uniquely designed for the South African context. Prof Parker's work on thoughtfully bridging the gap to empower South Africa's citizens is admirable and enticingly emulatable.
