 Dr. Eve Wittenberg, Senior Research Scientist at the [Center for Health Decision Science](https://chds.hsph.harvard.edu/) (CHDS), is participating in a Faculty Immersion Residency with the Global Health Education and Learning Incubator. Wittenberg, who spearheaded a collaborative [Writing Group](/news/incubator-partners-chds-offer-writing-group) for faculty and staff of CHDS, the Incubator, and the Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health, was granted a faculty support award from the Incubator for the Residency, through which she will develop early pilots and explore new methods of teaching writing. She will take an open-ended and hypothesis- and experimentation-oriented approach to these pilots, driven by her interest in testing potential modalities and processes related to teaching and learning. With support from Incubator faculty and staff, Wittenberg will identify learning goals for her modules, storyboard, film, review and reflect on drafts, and iterate on ideas and content.

 Her perspective, “[Health as a Family Affair](https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMp1604456)” was published in *New England Journal of Medicine* on May 12, 2016. In it, she and her colleague, Dr. Lisa A. Prosser discuss the burden of elderly caregiving in the U.S. and how illness does not just affect the patient but their family as well. Given this, they believe that both patient and family should be taken into consideration for ongoing care.

 Wittenberg’s research has been funded by the National Institutes of Health, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute, and the PhRMA Foundation. Her research focuses on the methodology of measuring patient-relevant outcomes, including quality of life, preferences, and utilities, and the integration of these measures into decision analysis. Her skill as a published scientific writer and her interest in teaching writing will pair with the Incubator’s Faculty Immersion Residency aim to inspire novel pedagogy, build multimodal literacies, and contribute to an emerging visual “grammar” for teaching and learning.
