This investigation presented extraordinary challenges. Fitzgibbon and Goodman will explore many of them, including collaboration across newsrooms and cultures, unraveling opaque supply chains, working with affected communities, engaging scientists and planning for real-world impact.
The discussion will also explore what this story means for advancing global health and why stronger collaboration between journalists and health leaders is essential.
The event is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served.
