The Open Notebook, a nonprofit whose mission is to help science journalists succeed in their profession, runs a paid, part-time fellowship program for early career science journalists. This ten-month program is ideally suited for freelancers because there is a significant weekly time commitment. Fellows will work with mentors to plan, report and write five articles for publication at The Open Notebook. Expect several rounds of editing. |

This webinar will explore the impact of food insecurity on health and factors reducing access to healthy and affordable food. Experts will discuss solutions such as community-based food system partnerships targeting vulnerable populations.
The Specialized Centers of Research Excellence on Sex Differences (SCORE) Annual Meeting keynote address is directed to researchers in the SCORE program and is open to the public; the rest of the meeting will be for SCORE investigators only. The SCORE program is the only NIH cooperative agreement program supporting disease-agnostic research on sex differences. Each center serves as a national resource for translational research to identify the role of biological sex differences in the health of women. |

When journalist Robert Kolker first learned about the Galvin family through a colleague’s introduction to one of the family members, he didn’t know whether their story had all the elements needed to become a book until he began the reporting. The narrative that unfolded—a family in which six of the 10 sons developed schizophrenia—provided a compelling framework for exploring the history of schizophrenia research from its discovery through the present day. The result, the highly acclaimed “Hidden Valley Road,” has continued to have an impact even two years after its 2020 publication, particularly in addressing the stigma associated with schizophrenia. Kolker will discuss how the book came about, his realization that it could be a book, how he found and wove medical research into his narrative, and what the book’s current impact has been for both the Galvin family and the understanding of schizophrenia more broadly. |
