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.

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.

The Science of Happiness, Health & Wellbeing during COVID-19

Even before COVID-19, one in five US adults reported feeling lonely or socially isolated. This pandemic, marked by increased calls for social and physical distancing, has put a spotlight on the impact of loneliness on an individual’s happiness, health and well-being and has led to increased calls for strategies to mitigate its effects.

This webinar will bring together experts to provide insights on the science of well-being and how we can strengthen our own happiness during this time of physical distancing and uncertainty.

Looking More Closely At Evidence For COVID-19 Coverage

It’s difficult to evaluate new evidence in the middle of the crisis, including the COVID-19 pandemic. SJN hears from journalists that they need more guidance on how to evaluate the latest numbers, research and statistics on COVID-19’s spread.

Health journalism saves lives.
