It was a confirmation of the age-old journalism school lesson – that the best stories are often the ones that directly impact us; this session featured four science journalists who have ‘changed the world’ with their incisive reporting.  The panel was made up of three specialists in health and medicine - issues everyone effortlessly relates to. The fourth journalist on the panel has consistently crossed the line between good science journalism and good science by backing up her stories with personally conducted research surveys, complete with bar graphs and pie charts.
