On September 28, 2011, from 9:00-17:00, Dr. Antonio Esteve Foundation and the Science Communication Observatory of the Universitat Pompeu Fabra will host the International Symposium on Biomedical Journalism at the University’s communication campus in the Poblenou district of Barcelona. The event will be chaired by Vladimir de Semir and Gema Revuelta, director and vice-director of the Science Communication Observatory.

The Symposium aims to shed light on how the internet is changing the way health issues are being communicated to the public.
