Breaking barriers: Empowering researchers from low- and middle-income countries in global health communication

This feature explores the authors experience in supporting researchers in low- and middle-income countries. After years of honing her skills in both basic research and medical writing, Julie Chaccour transitioned into a position in research management, where she occasionally gets to apply her expertise to help address disparities in scientific authorship. The author describes an especially rewarding experience of facilitating a three-day workshop to a diverse team of social science researchers. Efforts like the one described highlight the importance of structured support for LMIC researchers in expanding their contributions to the scientific community.
