DESCRIPTION:Fall 2021 Smith/Patterson Science Journalism Lecture \n6 p.m. Wednesday\, Sept. 29Smith Forum\, 200 RJISimultaneously live-streaming on the J School Facebook page \nJournalists Harriet Constable and Jacob Kushner will discuss their six-part multimedia series for BBC\, “Stopping the Next One\,” which explores six diseases that could cause the next global pandemic and the scientists working to keep that from happening. Their stories cover a bat-borne virus in Asia\, a super-spreader mosquito that has crossed from India to North America\, African camels carrying Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS)\, swine flu in Europe\, monkeys with yellow fever in South America\, and possums carrying flesh-eating bacteria in Australia. \n“The time to stop the next pandemic is now\,” Kushner said. “As journalists\, it’s our job to lead the way toward a solution by highlighting the public policies governments can enact to enable scientists to discover future\, pandemic-possible diseases — before it’s too late.” \n“I hope the audience comes away seeing that there’s a great deal we can all be doing – on a personal\, local and global scale\, to put ourselves in a safer position for the future\,” Constable said. \nJacob will be here in-person from Nairobi\, and Harriet will attend via Zoom from London.  \nAttend in-person (with masks) or watch live on the J School Facebook page.

SUMMARY:Media Briefing to Discuss COVID-19 Vaccinations In Black/African American Communities
DESCRIPTION:WHAT: According to a recent Kaiser Family Foundation Vaccine Monitor report\, COVID-19 vaccine uptake among Black/African American populations continues to lag in at least 40 states. The need to address this trend is crucial because of the recent rapid rise in COVID-19 infections and deaths\, a sharp decline in vaccinations\, the emergence of the more contagious Delta variant\, as well as the misinformation and myths that continue to persist about the virus.   \nThe We Can Do This campaign is hosting a virtual press briefing for Black/African American media. During this live event\, medical experts\, including trusted Black local doctors\, will provide up-to-date COVID-19 vaccine information and will discuss how Black/African Americans can regain traction in their fight against COVID-19.  Experts will discuss building confidence in the vaccines\, the importance of getting adolescents and young adults vaccinated\, and the Delta variant. The event will also address the social conditions that make Black Americans more susceptible to COVID-19 and the impact of COVID-19 on Black families.  \nWHO: \n\n\nDr. Cameron Webb\, Senior Policy Advisor for Equity on the White House COVID-19 Response Team  \n\n\nGeorgeta Dragoiu\, White House Presidential Innovation Fellow on the COVID-19 Public Education Campaign  \n\n\nDr. Rachel Villanueva\, Clinical Assistant Professor of Obstetrics/Gynecology at the NYU Grossman School of Medicine and President of the National Medical Association  \n\n\nDr. Michele Benoit-Wilson\, WakeMed Health\, Raleigh\, NC  \n\n\nWHEN: Wednesday\, August 11\, 2021\, 12 pm ET (11 am CT) \nWHERE: Click here to register. \nHOW:  For additional information please contact: Darryl Sellers\, Director of Public   \nRelations for Creative Marketing Resources\, (612) 834-2793\, darryl@cmredge.com

SUMMARY:Urban Heat: How rising temperatures affect U.S. cities
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, July 22\, at 3:00 p.m. ET  \nDaytime temperatures in cities can be as much as 1 to 7 degrees Fahrenheit higher than in nearby rural areas. This “heat island” effect\, caused by the absorption and re-emission of heat from buildings\, roads\, and other urban infrastructure\, is worsened by climate change and affects the health of city dwellers. SciLine’s next media briefing will cover the basics of urban heat and related weather patterns\, the effects of extreme heat on human health and wellbeing—including disproportionate impacts on low-income populations—and strategies for designing more heat-resilient cities. Three scientific experts will brief reporters\, and then take questions on the record. \nPanelists: Dr. Jaime Madrigano\, RAND Corporation; Dr. Chandana Mitra\, Auburn University; Dr. Vivek Shandas\, Portland State University \nRegister for the briefing…
