I enjoyed meeting Health Care Journalists at Health Journalism 2011

Last Friday, I had the opportunity to speak at Health Journalism 2011. I enjoyed speaking to a group of health journalists who were interested in learning about some of the current trends, challenges, and opportunities in mobile health (mHealth).

Thanks again for giving me the opportunity to speak and I look forward to seeing some of you at future conferences!

MIT: The Future of Science Journalism

As a blogger, I consider myself to be an informal medical journalist. Some people like CNN's Dr. Sanjay Gupta have created tremendous careers in science and medical journalism.

This video is from an MIT presentation on science journalism. MIT President Dr. Susan Hockfield states that science journalism “is now, and in the decades ahead, absolutely indispensable.” As we confront global warming and health pandemics, science reporting must be sustained, Hockfield says, “in its rightful place, at the top of the profession and in the thick of the national conversation.”
