About 50 people attended the annual gathering of the University Research Magazine Association.<\/p>\n

Attendees heard presentations from notables such as Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reporters Kathleen Gallagher and Mark Johnson, who won a Pulitzer Prize for their \u201cOne in a Billion\u201d series about how doctors for the first time used gene sequencing to treat a dying boy.<\/p>\n

They also heard from Associated Press chief medical writer Marilynn Marchione, Discover magazine editor in chief Becky Lang, science journalist Michael Lemonick and from researchers and communicators who handled the announcement of the LIGO gravitational waves discovery.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe learned valuable lessons from colleagues in research communications this week,\u201d said Rachel Coker, URMA president and director of research advancement at Binghamton University in New York. \u201cUWM did a fantastic job hosting and made sure our group had a chance to see and experience some of Milwaukee’s most interesting and beautiful places. We’ll all be going home with new ideas about how to do our jobs more effectively.\u201d<\/p>\n

The conference also showed off UWM \u2013 sessions were held at the School of Freshwater Sciences, the Zilber School of Public Health and the Kenwood Interdisciplinary Research Complex \u2013 and Milwaukee, with visits to Summerfest and the Newsroom Pub downtown.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
