The Communications Department issued nine
press releases during January and February, producing some solid media
coverage. Case in point: a release on a penguin study that appeared in the
American Journal of Physiology-Regulatory, Integrative and Comparative
Physiology piqued the interest of an editor at Smithsonian
Magazine. The Magazine plans to run a summary and photo in the April issue. This “hot pick” study also was written up on The New York Times science blog. You can read all about it at http://tierneylab.blogs.nytimes.com/2007/02/01/. Another “hot pick” study on salt and low birthweight infants received on-air coverage at 141 television and radio stations in just one day. In addition, the online editions of Scientific American, The Washington Post, MSNBC, the Calgary Sun and Forbes Magazine, among others, covered this study, which appeared in the American Journal of Physiology–Regulatory, Integrative and Comparative Physiology. In other highlights, the Inquirer covered a study from the Journal of Applied Physiology that ran a front page. The study focused on the ability of the elderly to manage the cold. Science News, CBC News and the online edition of Forbes did features on the science of Groundhog Day. Those stories were based on a “Calendar of Physiology” release. A Colorado television station did a feature on the science of Groundhog Day which focused on Greg Florant’s work. You can go to 9News, the NBC affiliate in Denver, to see that story. The calendar releases are tied to seasonal events and are another way to get out word about physiology to the general public. Here is the complete list of releases for January and February, along with links: Like Salty Food? Chances Are You Had Low Blood Sodium When You Were Born (American Journal of Physiology – Regulatory, Integrative and Comparative Physiology): http://www.the-aps.org/press/journal/07/3.htm.
