Science Talks: Tackling Ebola
AHCJ provides ongoing training and support for new and seasoned health reporters. As part of our partnership with Wiley we offer members access to an educational series of webinars called Science Talks that are brought to you by The Wiley Network.
In the next webinar, Science Talks with Dr. Peter Halfmann, journalists will learn:
-
The current situation in regions affected by the Ebola virus and if there is still any danger.
-
Where we stand with the research on finding a vaccine and if the latest trials on humans proofed successfully.
-
When the vaccine will be made available for humans affected in regions by the Ebola virus.
-
What the future will bring in terms of infectious diseases, such as Ebola.
-
How local journalists can better report on infectious diseases including: what they should look for, what kind of questions to ask, what resources they should use.
