Symposium

Supporting Family Caregivers in STEMM National Symposium

About

Caregiving is a universal experience, whether providing care for children or aging relatives or receiving care when ailing, everyone at some point will be touched by caregiving. And yet, caregiving is stigmatized and under-supported in the US. Join us on November 20th for a symposium examining best practices and innovative solutions to improve support for family caregivers in academic STEMM. Building on the 2024 National Academies report on Supporting Family Caregivers in STEMM, presenters will share actionable steps they and others have taken for family caregivers and answer audience questions. This workshop is supported by the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation and in partnership with sites from the Doris Duke Fund to Retain Clinical Scientists.

About

Journalists play a critical role in providing accurate, timely, and trustworthy science information to the public. Yet, a number of factors within journalism—decreased funding, shrinking newsrooms, media deregulation, reduced access to high-quality science information and scientific sources—have hampered the quantity and quality of science news, creating fertile ground for science misinformation to more easily spread. At the same time, some journalistic norms and practices can make science reporting particularly prone to the unintentional spread of misinformation, and public trust and confidence in the press continues to wane. This webinar will discuss the challenges to reporting on science in today's landscape and surface the needs and opportunities for bolstering science, health, and medical journalism.

Lauren Feldman, Professor and Chair of Journalism & Media Studies, Rutgers University
