Because of this increase, on the order of 333% in just a few years, autism is being studied more intensively than ever before.

Introduction Throughout the 18th and 19th centuries, when the first smallpox outbreak began and the first vaccine was introduced, there has been vaccine skepticism (Offit, 2015). Smallpox outbreaks, and the fatalities that come with it, continued to spread around the world despite the development of the vaccine. However, between the 1940s and the early 1970s, anti-vaccine sentiment declined due to “three trends: a boom in vaccine science, discovery, and manufacture; public awareness of widespread outbreaks of infectious diseases (measles, mumps, rubella, pertussis, polio, and others) and the desire to protect children from these highly prevalent ills; and a baby boom, accompanied by increasing levels of education and wealth” (Poland et al, 2011). These factors led to general public acceptance of vaccines, which resulted in significant decreases in disease outbreaks. However, with less visible outbreaks of disease and more vaccines being added to the childhood vaccination schedule, the presence of the anti-vaccination movement returned in the 1970s (Wolfe, 2002).

  • Vaccines and Autism: What You Should Know | Vaccine Education
    Q A Vaccines and Autism: What you should know Volume& 1 Summer 2008 Some parents of children with autism are concerned that vaccines are the cause. Their concerns center on three areas: the combination measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine; thimerosal, a mercury-containing preservative previously contained in several vaccines; and the notion that babies receive too many vaccines too soon. Q. What are the symptoms of autism? Q. Does the MMR vaccine cause autism? A. Symptoms of autism, which typically appear during the A.

  • Science Reporting Syllabus: Covering the Environment, Technology and Medicine
    1 Science reporting syllabus: Covering the environment, technology and medicine Science reporting is in a moment of extreme transition: Popular science writing is experiencing a renaissance at precisely the moment that traditional media outlets are jettisoning specialized reporters. This creates tremendous opportunity and tremendous challenges. This course makes sure students are prepared to meet those challenges. Course objective This course is designed to acquaint reporters with all aspects of science reporting and writing. It will train participants to view new breakthroughs and discoveries with skepticism and will give students a working knowledge of many of the main areas of science coverage, including the environment, artificial intelligence, and human interaction with technology. There will be lessons on social media, online writing, news and feature writing, and writing long-form narratives. Learning objectives The syllabus is designed to strengthen students’ core competencies in several areas: Determining what sources and outlets can be trusted to discuss controversial or unproven claims. Learning which questions will elicit meaningful responses. Understanding that choosing not to cover a story can be just as important an editorial decision as deciding how to cover it. Evaluating what type of form a journalist is most comfortable with and seeking out ways to work in that form. Course design This course will focus on developing toolkits for evaluating science stories in addition to learning about some specific issues or controversies. It is designed as a workshop course for between 10 and 15 students. An integral part of the course is analyzing and critiquing other students’ work. Readings Required books Deborah Blum, Mary Knudson and Robin Marantz Henig, editors, A Field Guide for Science Writers, 2005.

Romig Dear Alumni and Friends, Having completed my fi rst year as dean of Washburn University School of Law, it is apparent to me that the support of our alumni is critical to the success of Washburn Law. Alumni like you assist us by serving as speakers, adjunct professors, mentors, and judges for competition teams, as well as supporting our law school in numerous other ways. We had a great year, and this issue of the Washburn Lawyer will give you a brief recap of the programs Washburn Law has been involved with over the past 12 months, and an indication of what is to come. In October, we hosted our symposium on Humanizing Legal Education with nearly 100 law professors and deans from 40 law schools and three countries. In March, we had our American Bar Association/American Association of Law Schools accreditation site visit. Although we have not received the offi cial report yet, it was clear that the seven-member team was very impressed with our students, our programs, our dedicated staff and faculty, and our alumni they met. In short, they liked what they saw at Washburn University School of Law. In April, we hosted a very successful Writing to Win Symposium on Plain Language Jury Instructions. This symposium included judges, justices, and practitioners from across the country. Also in April, we had 29 alumni and two professors participate in a U.S.
