The science writing field has experienced profound challenges over the past several years, including multiple waves of layoffs, publications shutting down, and attacks on freedom of speech. Join us for the upcoming, free #SciWriRoundtable webinar “Navigating professional grief and moral distress in the polycrisis: Lessons from climate psychology” scheduled for Tuesday, August 18, at 1 p.m. Eastern.

Wildfires. Extreme heat. Tornados. Floods. As climate-driven events intensify, the pressure to connect environmental change to public health outcomes is growing — and so is the risk of overstating the relationship in news stories. Join the National Press Club Journalism Institute for a free training webinar, “The Environment-Public Health Link: Reporting With Rigor,” designed for experienced journalists navigating the line between correlation and causation in high-stakes reporting. Through real-world examples and insights from a reporter covering both environment and health, we’ll explore how to make rigorous editorial calls, communicate uncertainty clearly, and build stories that are both accurate and impactful. You’ll learn how to: • Distinguish between correlation and causation in environmental and public health reporting; • Report on climate-driven health impacts with precision, nuance, and scientific integrity; and • Frame complex environmental health stories in ways that are clear, credible, and compelling.
