The National Press Foundation provided a rare chance to meet with distinguished meteorologists on a one to one level. Being exposed only to the broadcast end of weather, this exchange helped me to see issues between colleagues in print and radio. This fellowship has helped form better relations between the scientific community and media outlets. (Understanding Violent Weather, Norman, Oklahoma, 2007)

Cancer is a leading cause of illness and death worldwide, and adds more than $200 billion a year to medical costs in the United States. Ongoing research into causes, prevention and treatment is fascinating, yet complex. Science and health journalists will benefit from the in-depth look at cancer, current research, and controversies related to screening and treatment which are the topics of this four-day program to be held in Washington D.C. September 13-16. Agendas from our 2002 and 2003 cancer programs are available here and here. Retirement Issues in the 21st Century – Resources Now Available
