About

The Institute for Basic Biomedical Sciences gathered science reporters for an annual, daylong event focused on a single research topic. The event, Science Writers Boot Camp, ran for 14 years through 2022. Journalists enjoyed firsthand access to Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine researchers and physicians, getting the opportunity to learn about the latest advancements in health, medicine and science. Past events focused on topics ranging from sensory biology to epigenetics to pain and tissue regeneration and the brain to metabolism research and the immune system and immunology. Up to 100 journalists and science writers from all regions in the U.S. and Canada attended this exclusive event each year. 

The final Science Writers' Boot Camp was held June 6, 2022. The focus of the day was research and clinical advancements in women's health.
