Press Outreach for Activists (Session)

Last weekend I conducted a training on Press Outreach and an introduction to the Principles of Advocacy at the annual conference of Universities Allied for Essential Medicines (UAEM) an international student organization dedicated to ensuring that medical innovations developed in university labs are accessible to patients in developing countries.

Students participate in a “spectrogram” activity at the beginning of the advocacy session. They were smart, committed, and global – a really special group.
