SUMMARY:Obesity research: What to know and making sense of studies
DESCRIPTION:Recorded webcast\nWatch the webcast \nSpeaker’s presentation\nSlides from Yoni Freedhoff \nResources\nAHCJ Core Topic: Medical studies \nPosts about covering medical research from Covering Health blog \nContact Dr. Freedhoff\ndrfreedhoff@bmimedical.ca www.bmimedical.ca www.weightymatters.ca @yonifreedhoff \n\nJan. 13\, 2 p.m. ET\nCalling obesity an “epidemic” is almost a cliche in health reporting\, but there is no question that obesity is linked to many serious health issues and quality of life\, and obesity incidence has been increasing. \nThat reality has led to even more medical research into its causes\, its treatment and management and the conditions obesity increases the risk of experiencing. \nObesity expert and physician Yoni Freedhoff will provide an overview of the state of obesity research and explain what reporters need to know and look for in medical research about obesity. \nWith Tara Haelle\, AHCJ’s core topic leader on medical studies\, Freedhoff will explain what we know\, how to cut through hype\, how to spot less evidence-based claims\, and how to talk about the issue in a respectful way. \n<!– \nHow to participate\nA link to the webcast will appear on this page about 15 minutes before it begins. \nThis event is exclusively for AHCJ members so you will need your website login and password.

SUMMARY:A look at the 21st Century Cures Act in 2016
DESCRIPTION:Congress is poised to pass the 21st Century Cures Act in 2016 that many experts believe will weaken FDA regulation of medical devices with far-reaching consequences to the public. Any of you who cover FDA\, the drug and device industry\, and those who are interested in the path of this legislation and those interested as patients who might need such devices will find this program helpful. Here are the details: \nWHEN:      6:30 p.m.\, Jan. 25 \nWHERE:    New York State Health Foundation\, 1385 Broadway\, 23rd Floor \nSPEAKER:  Dr. Sanket Dhruva \n Dr. Dhruva\, a cardiologist and Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Clinical Scholar at Yale\, has written widely about the FDA’s pre-market regulation of medical devices and the strength of evidence used for approval. One of his particular interests is the safety and effectiveness of devices in women. Dr. Dhruva has also studied Medicare coverage decisions and is interested in developing and assessing the evidence base for new technologies. \nRefreshments will be provided. \nPlease RSVP to trudy.lieberman@gmail.com. If you initially say you’re coming and then can’t make it\, please let Trudy know. \n

SUMMARY:The Promise and Perils of Nuclear Energy
DESCRIPTION:In some ways\, nuclear power has never looked better — or worse. In an age of climate change and growing energy demands\, the world needs low-carbon fuel sources\, and nuclear delivers electricity without the greenhouse gas emissions of fossil fuels. Can nuclear power be considered a form of “green” energy? In the wake of Fukushima\, Three Mile Island\, and Chernobyl\, can it be reliable and safe? \nThe Missouri School of Journalism invites journalists who cover energy\, business\, health\, and the environment to a workshop covering the risks and benefits of nuclear energy for healthcare\, research\, and power generation. \nAttendees will:\n\n\nTour the MU Research Reactor\, the largest research reactor on any university campus\, to hear about research in healthcare\, agriculture\, archaeology\, epidemiology and other fields. \n\n\nGet a behind-the-scenes tour of the nearby Callaway commercial nuclear reactor operated by Ameren. \n\n\nListen to national experts\, newsmakers and journalists on topics such as safety\, emissions\, waste\, water use\, and the economics of energy. \n\n\nAttend a public screening of the provocative documentary\, “Pandora’s Promise\,” and discuss it with a panel of experts. \n\n\nNot only will journalists find sources and story ideas\, they’ll go home with a better understanding of the science and strategies for telling complex stories. The journalists have been selected but some sessions are open to the public and will be live streamed: \nSessions Open to the Public\nLive-streamed www.rjionline.org/live #nuclearworkshop    \nThursday\, Jan. 28 \n8:30 – 9:30 a.m. – “Nuclear 101: How nuclear energy works\, from the Big Bang to today.” Got science? We’ll blast into space with a talk on the origins of the universe and come back to Earth for a primer on nuclear energy. \nModerator: Sara Shipley Hiles\, Missouri School of JournalismSpeakers:Angela Speck\, MU AstrophysicsBill Miller\, MU Research Reactor \n9:45 – 11:15 a.m. – “Hot issues in nuclear energy: Key players discuss where nuclear is today.” Climate change has changed the conversation. Where will we get our energy in the future? A panel of experts discusses nuclear vs. renewables\, the impact of the Clean Power Plan and COP21\, and the economics of energy. \nModerator: Kari Lydersen\, reporter\, Midwest Energy NewsPanelists: \nJohn Keeley\, Nuclear Energy Institute \nDavid Lochbaum\, Union of Concerned Scientists \nKevin Kamps\, Beyond Nuclear \nScott Burnell\, Nuclear Regulatory Commission \nFriday\, Jan. 29 \n8 a.m. – 9:30 a.m. – “Nuclear safety in a post-Fukushima world.” Incidents at Fukushima\, Three Mile Island and Chernobyl raise concerns about nuclear safety. Experts will address the state of nuclear safety today along with radiation health effects\, waste storage and the consequences of aging plants. \nModerator\, Roger Witherspoon\, independent journalistSpeakers: \nDavid Lochbaum\, Union of Concerned Scientists \nJohn Keeley\, Nuclear Energy Institute \nDavid Ropeik\, Harvard \nKevin Kamps\, Beyond Nuclear \nLarry Criscione\, former Callaway employee and whistleblower \nScott Burnell\, NRC \n  \n  \n
