Join us for this special Connector Chat with Usha Lee McFarling, national science correspondent for STAT. McFarling is the winner of the 2024 Victor Cohn Prize for Excellence in Medical Science Reporting.

Joining her in conversation will be Steve Padilla, writing coach and Column One editor for the Los Angeles Times. Padilla and McFarling will talk about elements of great storytelling, how to blend narrative and science, and more, using a few of McFarling’s award-winning stories as examples.

Questions will be encouraged throughout the conversation. We will generate a tip sheet from the session, complete with links to resources recommended by McFarling and Padilla. The session will be recorded, and all registrants will receive a link to the recording and tip sheet.
