Science Panel: Live-Blogging with Patricia Thomas and Ellen Ruppell Shell

Patricia Thomas
I. In her new job at the U. of Georgia, was asked to address the gap of knowledge in the South in three ways
1. work with the ethnic press
2. keep up with research
3. charged with starting a new masters concentration in health and medical
journalism with a focus on the SE.

Ellen Ruppel Shaw
I.Why Science Journalism?
-co-director of science journalism program at BU

II. Have you been assigned to write about science?
-science has been lumped into the “big categories/beats.” Even if you have an
expert on the other line…When speaking with a scientist keep the antenna up and
don’t take all statements for granted. Don’t let the “Dr” phase you.
