In this episode of OTT TV we talk with Josh Burek of the Belfer Center at Harvard about the importance of thinking through ones audience before publishing a report targeted at policymakers – about thinking through the demand side for research.

He focuses on a report on preventing nuclear terrorism and how they approached getting political buy-in for the report among US congresspeople.
