Health Journalism 2008: Care After Cancer
http://healthjournalism2008.blogspot.com/2008/03/care-after-cancer.html
Live blogging from the Health Journalism 2008 conference in Washington, D.C. Saturday, March 29, 2008. Day two rolled around and I rolled out of bed still stuck in yesterday. But thankfully I made it to the conference on time to attend my first session titled “Cancer Survivorship.”. OK, so this wasn’t an attractive feature. But, like I posted earlier, my grandmother was diagnosed with breast cancer and my eyes perked up when I saw the topic outside the room. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Something ...

Health Journalism 2008: January 2009
http://healthjournalism2008.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Live blogging from the Health Journalism 2008 conference in Washington, D.C. Wednesday, January 28, 2009. For science reporters, the first encounter with a Nobel laureate is intimidating - no matter how warm and friendly he or she is as a person. As soon as you've interviewed one, or simply shaken hands and exchanged pleasantries during a noisy reception, you relax a bit. So you might as well bag your first Nobelist tomorrow. It gets easier with practice so you might as well start tomorrow.

http://healthjournalism2008.blogspot.com/2008/03/how-will-retiring-boomers-affect.html
Live blogging from the Health Journalism 2008 conference in Washington, D.C. Friday, March 28, 2008. How Will Retiring Boomers Affect the National Health Agenda? Who Will Care for Us? Didn't really get an answer to this question. What I heard was the panelists saying that that retiring boomers will affect the national health agenda and that the agenda must change to include that rapidly growing population. 37 million Americans are 65 or older. Almost half of all Americans have a chronic condition. He poi...

http://jrmc8350.blogspot.com/2008/03/ahead-of-curve-in-athens-ga.html
Monday, March 24, 2008. Ahead of the curve in Athens, GA. Last week closed with a flurry of news stories about how the rich are not only getting richer but also living longer than poor people in America. These stories were triggered by a new analysis of Department of Health and Human Services data conducted by GK Singh and M. Siahpush. On the plus side, we've been engaged in a community-wide study of poverty for nearly two years now and have plans for addressing it. Partners for a Prosperous Athens h...

JRMC 8350 Health and Medical Journalism: My secret love affair with Judah Folkman
http://jrmc8350.blogspot.com/2008/01/my-secret-love-affair-with-judah.html
Monday, January 21, 2008. My secret love affair with Judah Folkman. Dr Judah Folkman, one of the world’s most creative and important cancer researchers, died in the Denver airport on January 15. I heard the news early the next morning on NPR and immediately turned to the obituary. In the New York Times. To be honest, we were together only four times in 17 years. But that was enough. He was an honorable man. Six years later, Judah’s work had become incredibly famous and my friend Bob Cooke published...

JRMC 8350 Health and Medical Journalism: Sunday miscellany
http://jrmc8350.blogspot.com/2007/09/sunday-miscellany.html
Sunday, September 30, 2007. Today's "@issue" section of the. In her new book, Davis argues that the so-called "war on cancer" has spotlighted diagnostic tests and novel therapies while soft-pedaling big money carcinogens like tobacco. Although I think that tobacco is the single biggest modifiable risk factor for cancer, Davis once published studies shifting the blame away from tobacco and onto environmental pollutants. But hey, it's all about learning as you go. One final note, sparked. By Red and Black's.
