As governments and many media outlets move on from the pandemic emergency, there’s a group of people who can’t, and may never be able to move on. All three of the panelists in this session have personal experience with COVID-19 that doesn’t go away.
This session presented at the ScienceWriters2023 conference focused on the scientific questions still unanswered and the journalistic angles still unplumbed in long COVID, which influences every system of the body and intersects with health equity issues, creating or enhancing difficulty in care access for marginalized groups including people of color, LGBTQ+ populations, and undocumented people. The efforts of long COVID advocates continue to grow and provide inspiration for coverage.
This session was part of the Council for the Advancement of Science Writing's New Horizons in Science briefings at the conference. It took place in Aurora, CO on October 8, 2023. Amber Dance, New Horizons program director for CASW, moderated the discussion with one in-person and two remote panelists. A brief segment of the video recording is missing, owing to a technical glitch.
