Apoorva Mandavilli has covered the coronavirus pandemic since its earliest days in 2020. But before the pandemic began, she was the founding editor-in-chief of a news site on autism science. Her keynote will cover the relentless and complicated nature of reporting on a pandemic, as well as the unconventional career path that led her there. She is visiting Concordia as part of Projected Futures 5, an international graduate science journalism summer school in the Department of Journalism.
The talk and Q&A will take place from 6 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. A reception with light snacks and drinks will follow.
The talk is free, but registration is required to attend. Register now.
