Stem cells, swine flu, health care, and cures for cancer are all on people’s minds, and Yale faculty can help them understand the often complicated twists and turns of both medical science and the delivery of care. At a panel discussion entitled "Why Should Scientists Speak to the Media?" on October 5, sponsored by Dean Robert J. Alpern, the School of Medicine, Yale Medical Group, and the Council for the Advancement of Science Writing (CASW), three prominent science and medical writers described how scientists and physicians can work with journalists to shed light on these and other topics.
