When Facts Collide: Covering the Flu Shot and Other Contested Science

Whether the topic is vaccines, climate science or health care reform, experts often complain that journalists don't pay enough attention to data. But it's not that simple. How can two intellectually rigorous journalists look at the same evidence and come to completely different conclusions? How should reporters sift through what appears to be contradictory scientific evidence?

Join us as two nationally known journalists and authors, Shannon Brownlee and Michael Specter, pick apart the evidence on the H1N1 (swine) flu vaccine and other issues. Moderated by Ivan Oransky, M.D., adjunct professor at SHERP and executive editor of Reuters Health.
