““Dr. Flicker is an implementation science genius! Their consultation with our team was essential to us being able to do it right the first time and really use our findings in incredibly meaningful ways.
I consistently seek opportunities to bring Dr. Flicker in to support our work and ensure we are strategic about how we design our work.”
