The journalists behind a blockbuster front-page investigation into the deadly trade in recycled lead will share the behind-the-scenes story of how the project came together — and how the reporting has driven change at the community and global levels.

The discussion will bring together members of the journalism and public health communities to examine how investigative reporting and scientific expertise can work in tandem to address urgent global health threats.

Light refreshments will be served at the event.
