Students within the Holland College journalism program took part in a mock media conference recently to learn more about science in journalism.
Hosted by the Atlantic Veterinary College, the event provided journalism students with the opportunity to participate in a realistic media conference while gaining experience in gathering and reporting on science-based stories.
Atlantic Veterinary College researchers Dr. Jean Lavallée (Clinical Research Scientist, AVC Lobster Science Centre), Dr. Michael Cockram (Chair in Animal Welfare), and Dr. John VanLeeuwen (Professor of Health Management) participated in the media conference. AVC researchers provided overviews of their research as it appears in the Atlantic Veterinary College’s 2008 Research Report – Creating Knowledge, and took part in interviews with the journalism students.
The journalism students then prepared science-based stories for review by their instructor and the Atlantic Veterinary College.
Thank you to everyone who volunteered their time for this great learning experience!
