COVID-19 UC Davis Capstone Lab – Town Halls

The COVID-19 pandemic has made demands on our collective resilience that will continue for some time. To answer this call, a group of dedicated instructors in the University of California, Davis, College of Biological Science has designed a virtual lab course. This unique course provides students with a truly interdisciplinary perspective on how modern biology through a diverse number of approaches can inform our decisions in this crises and help plan for future interventions to lessen the impact of viral epidemics. One of the activities in this course are a series of Town Halls, where subject area experts chat with students and course instructors about issues related to the COVID-19 pandemic. At these Town Hall meetings, physicians, scientists, lawyers, a journalist & an economist discuss scientific, health care, and broader societal issues concerning the COVID19 pandemic. They are going to be held every Friday this winter quarter from 3:30-5pm.

Responsible coverage of coronavirus preprint research

AHCJ’s panel of experts will discuss what preprints are, why they exist, how they fit into the scientific research ecosystem, and how to cover them responsibly for the general public, particularly during the pandemic.

Health Journalism 2020 postponed

Due to safety concerns and travel limitations related to the COVID 19 pandemic, the annual conference of the Association of Health Care Journalists has been canceled. Health Journalism 2020 was originally scheduled for April 30-May 3.

AHCJ is trying to work with the conference hotel, the JW Marriott in Austin, to determine if there is another set of dates later in the year that might work.

Registrations will be honored for the next set of conference dates, or registrants will have the option of requesting a refund.

Watch for our plans on handling AHCJ’s annual health journalism writing awards and other conference-related matters.

We appreciate your patience while we work through these unprecedented hurdles.

Health journalism saves lives.
