The Foundation s headquarters at 41 Portland Place, London W1B 1BN, provide library facilities, open to graduates in science and allied disciplines. Media relations are fostered by regular press conferences and by articles prepared by the Foundation s Science Writer in Residence. The Foundation offers accommodation and meeting facilities to visiting scientists and their societies. 

Address media relations and other support staff, e.g. engineering, logistics, etc. 

You have surely come across the items of news that appear quite frequently in the media, related to world-class athletes and sports personalities abusing anabolic steroids, e.g. nandrolone, to enhance performance and also to improve physical appearance. What are these substances Well, all these drugs and many other important drugs belong to the class of compounds called steroids.

What is needed is careful empirical analysis of source-media relations which builds upon and tests this macro-level theory (Anderson 1997 Cottle 1998). The aim of this final section of the chapter, therefore, is to examine two case studies of the communication of chemical risks, the Brent Spar in 1995 and the Prestige oil disaster... 

Future case studies, it is hoped, will further illuminate the shifting dynamics of source-media relations in the communication of chemical risks and lead to improvements in reporting practices. Further work needs to systematically examine the kinds of discursive strategies that are used by stakeholders in their efforts to frame issues within the news media. In doing so, there is a need to go beyond a media-centred approach to consider the complexities and contingencies of social processes and the wider play of political power.

In addition to elucidation of molecular structures, NMR can also extract valuable information about physicochemical parameters. Because of the omnipresence of protonated solvents in CE/CEC, mobile-phase events can be monitored with NMR. Early studies using E-NMR involved the calculation of diffusion coefficients, electrophoretic mobilities, and viscosity [27]. Stagnant mobile-phase mass transfer kinetics and diffusion effects [60] and fluid mass transfer resistance in porous media-related chromatographic stationary phases [61] have been studied with NMR spectroscopy. NMR imaging of the chromatographic process [62] and NMR microscopy of chromatographic columns [63] have also been reported. Several applications of NMR to on-line studies of CE/ and CEC/ NMR are highlighted. 

In today s mass society, mass-mediated emergency response must be an integral part of effective disaster management—especially in the face of bioterrorism, emerging infectious diseases, or other public health crises. Although each emergency situation has its own unique features and requires different approaches for dealing with public information and media relations, this chapter...

Participants asked that WHO establish more effective relations with key media groups (to brief them on health issues during disasters and to identify myths that hinder response efforts), and to develop guidance on media relations.

Remember to have a media relations expert ready to deal with the media, and only that individual should release any details of the emergency, or the hospital s response to it, to the media. Guest services workers can gather lists of examined and treated individuals and telephone relatives to inform them of their loved one s status. 

The most recent motivation for the use of surfactant-based reaction media relates to the Green Chemistry discussion. It is generally recommended to use water instead of an organic solvent that could be harmful to the environment. Since water is non-toxic and inflammable, it is regarded as the ideal solvent. Methods for water purification after industrial use are well established and available in industrial scale. 

A major source of confusion in the media relates to how science tries to separate unavoidable death due to natural causes from avoidable death due to modem drugs or chemicals. This is the field of risk assessment and is a crucial function of our regulatory agencies. Confusion and unnecessary anxiety arise from the complexity of the underlying science, misinterpretation of the meaning of scientific results, and a lack of understanding of the basic principles of probability, statistics, and causal inference (assigning cause and effect to an event).
