But most water supplies in the U.S. are controlled locally. Laws and ordinances governing water fluoridation are often passed at the community level. \nThese programs are routinely supported by local health officials but they often face strong opposition from detractors whose tactics of sowing fear and doubt can shape media coverage as well as public opinion to the detriment of public health. Our guest\, pediatric dentist Johnny Johnson\, who is president of the American Fluoridation Society\, will update reporters on fluoride research and debates that may be coming to their communities. \n\n\nJohnny Johnson Jr. (@drjohnnyjohnson)\, D.M.D.\, M.S.\, president\, American Fluoridation Society \n\n\nModerator: Mary Otto\, AHCJ topic leader/oral health \n\n\n\nJohnny Johnson \n\n\nMary Otto URL:https://healthjournalism.org/event/community-water-fluoridation-update/ CATEGORIES:Webinar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20180925T010000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20180925T010000 DTSTAMP:20231109T155339Z CREATED:20231103T173848Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231109T155339Z UID:26494-1537837200-1537837200@healthjournalism.org SUMMARY:Understanding HIV/AIDS for Accurate News Reporting DESCRIPTION:Media who attend this webinar will learn more about: \n\n\nA brief history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) \n\n\nWhat regions are most affected by HIV/AIDS\, areas with an uptick in reported cases and the reasons for regional disparities \n\n\nHow countries respond to the epidemic and the most effective tactics being used in the fight against HIV and AIDS \n\n\nWhy the current approach to confront the HIV/AIDS epidemic is drawing criticism; who are those critics and what is their impact on prevention and treatment options \n\n\nWhat treatments are available now and in the future \n\n\nWhich sources of information are most reliable for journalists reporting on HIV and AIDS \n\n\nNOTE: Science Talks webinars are recorded for later viewing. \nSpeakers\n\n\nDr. Marlène BrasExecutive EditorJournal of the International AIDS Society\n\n\nDr Marlène Bras completed her PhD degree in 2006 at the Pasteur Institute (Paris\, France) where she studied the molecular mechanisms of programmed cell death in B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
