    FOREWORD The Friends of Canadian Institutes of Health Research (FCIHR) is a national organization composed of individuals and corporate members, dedicated to supporting the goals and ideals of the Canadian Institutes of Health research (CIHR). One of the principle activities of the FCIHR is to promote the under- standing of science in the community through annual symposia and educational forums. It is important to facilitate the transfer of new knowledge that is rooted in high quality, evidenced-based research. The ultimate expectation is that this will help to improve the health of Canadians by strengthening the Canadian health care system. This year we highlight the importance of communicating new knowledge to the public and the responsibilities we have as scientists to provide solid information in a timely and understandable way. Conflicts arise when individuals promote their work or themselves inappropriately or for personal gain. Furthermore, the research community cannot effectively communicate to the public directly and depends on health reporters and journalists schooled in biology and the human condition. Journalists for their part must be skeptical and probing in order to discern the “wheat from the chaff”. Human-interest stories sell papers but if the premise is based on junk science, everyone suffers. The theme of this year’s symposium “The Scientist and the Media” looks at the challenges and opportunities that guide the interdependencies of both professions as they work to transfer new knowledge from the laboratory to the community that funds our research. FCIHR would like to thank our principal sponsors particularly the Canadian Institutes of Health Research and the University of Manitoba, Department of Internal Medicine for their support of Symposium 2005.
