SUMMARY:Private Healthcare Exchanges Conference
DESCRIPTION:The Private Healthcare Exchanges conference July 16-17 in Chicago will focus on how the Affordable Care Act is changing the way insurers sell health insurance. Instead of marketing almost exclusively to employers\, the ACA has forced insurers to focus on enrolling consumers. The conference is sponsored by Employee Benefit News.

SUMMARY:Deadline for Harvard Medical School’s media fellowship program
DESCRIPTION:Application Deadline: Feb. 28\n\n\n\n\n\nHarvard Medical School’s media fellowship program is entering its seventeenth season. This spring’s two fellowship programs are “The Eyes (and Ears) Have It: Sensory biology and its promise for patients” (March 31 – April 4) and “Trauma: Mending cells\, bodies and minds” (May 5 – 9). Descriptions of each program can be found online. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nReporters are invited to choose one of these programs and apply. Three applicants will be chosen for each program. \nFor a one-week period\, three fellows will visit researchers at the medical school and at its affiliated teaching hospitals and research institutes\, meeting with a broad spectrum of faculty and other stakeholders. Although reporters will attend as a group\, prior to arrival we will work with each fellow to cater to any individual interests and the interests of their media outlet and tailor the experience within the broader theme. \nThe application process is simple: just email me three to five relevant clips and two to three paragraphs detailing what you want to take away from the fellowship. In addition\, please state that you have license from your editor\, or usual freelance clients\, to cover the topic generically in the future. (You are not obligated to cover Harvard’s work in the area\, just the field as a whole.) \nApplications are due Friday\, February 28\, 2014. We plan to notify successful applicants very soon afterward. Harvard Medical School will pay for participants’ lodging and meals (but not travel to and from Boston).These fellowships are offered as educational opportunities on a background basis. We do not monitor or “gate-keep” fellows’ contact with faculty throughout the program. \nContact: David Cameron\, Director of Science Communications\, Harvard Medical Schooldavid_cameron@hms.harvard.edu\,  617-432-0441

SUMMARY:Beyond the Basics of Pitching: Becoming That Dream Writer
DESCRIPTION:Resources\nSee a recording of this webcast. \nSpeakers’ presentation: \n381 kB PDF \n\nFeb. 28\, 12 p.m. CT\nEditors are busy folks who receive many more emails each day than they can ever hope to answer. How can a writer\, who’s new to a publication\, craft such an impressive pitch\, that even if the story doesn’t sell\, keeps the door wide open for next time? A panel of top editors will talk about pitches they loved and could not walk away from. Using examples of successful pitches-to-story\, they’ll explain the formula for pitches that are memorable – in a good way – starting with the subject line. \nPerhaps most important\, even experienced writers can struggle with writing pitches that identify a story and not a topic. Writers may do so much pre-pitch research that it’s easy to forget that we’re actually not prepping for a master’s thesis; there’s a great story somewhere in that pile of PubMed searches. Our panel of editors will give their best advice on how to make your pitch communicate that story\, and impress them in the process. \nParticipating editors:\n\n\nJim Giles\, Matter \n\n\nRobin Lloyd\, Scientific American \n\n\nMore about the speakers:\nJim Giles writes about the interface between science\, technology and society. He is the co-fournder of Matter and a Medium editor. His work has appeared in The Atlantic\, The New York Times\, Nature\, New Scientist\, the Guardian and many other outlets. \nRobin Lloyd\, a science writer going back to the Galileo mission to Jupiter\, is Scientific American’s news editor\, responsible for planning\, editing and assigning stories for SA‘s website and managing its home page. She also oversees SA‘s social media efforts. Previously\, she was a senior editor for LiveScience.com and SPACE.com. She has experience in print journalism (Pasadena Star-News)\, wire service journalism (City News Service in Los Angeles) and network online journalism (CNN.com). She worked for five years as a science publicist at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City. She earned a Ph.D. in sociology from the University of California\, Santa Barbara\, and received a Knight Science Journalism Fellowship at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for the 1998-1999 academic year.  \nThe webcast will be moderated by Jeanne Erdmann\, a freelance health and science writer based near St. Louis. She writes about cancer\, genetics\, genetic testing\, genetic counseling and osteoarthritis. Her stories have appeared in Women’s Health\, Slate\, The Washington Post\, Nature Medicine\, Nature\, Cure and others. Erdmann was chosen for a 2013 AHCJ Reporting Fellowship on Health Care Performance\, with assistance from the Commonwealth Fund. She also co-produces The Open Notebook\, a craft-focused website for science writers.
