On 14th June 2018, the Science Communication Department conducted a one-day intensive training in Blantyre for Journalists-in-Residence members and other journalists interested in health research reporting.

The aim of the training was to increase journalists’ understanding of health research and science reporting.

As one way of increasing interaction between researchers and Journalists, the training included a topic called ‘In the Research Lab’ which was presented by head of Viral Immunology research group Dr Kondwani Jambo. At the end of the training, journalists suggested that we should include more research topics in our future training.

The training registered 20 journalists from different parts of the Southern Region of Malawi.
