This could be modestly done by first documenting and disseminating practical examples, as illustrated through the range of case studies generated for the toolkit, which have proven valuable for promoting best practices and innovation, anticipating barriers and mitigating the repetition of mistakes.
It is also critical to develop and widely disseminate examples of evidence for evolution and "evolutionary thinking" that postsecondary and K 12 faculty can easily access, edit, and incorporate into their courses (for examples, see Box 1).
We've disseminated, for example, our unique climate models and shared them with those universities and with the Bureau of Meteorology.

Healthy behaviours e.g. nutrition and diet, physical activity, safe sex, immunisations and improved hygiene practices can be promoted and adopted as a result of health research being disseminated, for example through health education and health promotion activities.

Mortality rate in these 172 cases was 13.4% (23 cases), where 6 died of other causes, and 5 others died because of concurrent infections, for example disseminated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infection.
For example, disseminated and metastatic cells at various stages of tumor development can be identified in the various tissue compartments and characterized at the cellular, molecular, and genetic levels.
As the recent breast cancer screening example illustrates, strategies for disseminating information to the media, policy makers, and the public are also crucial components of any communication plan".
