AHCJ will select journalists to spend three partial days online Jan. 12-14, 2021, with experts from the National Institutes of Health to increase their understanding of and ability to report accurately on complex scientific findings, provide insight into the work of cancer researchers and to better localize cancer-related stories.
Mary Woolley, M.A., President of Research!America, will give the afternoon keynote address, titled “Meeting the Moment.”
This discussion will focus on measures industry stakeholders have taken for safe vaccine deployment and the immediate steps these stakeholders will take in the first 48 hours after an Emergency Use Authorization is approved.
