What Reporting on Long COVID Taught Me, ft. Ed Yong

This public lecture was featured during the Spring 2024 President's Dream Colloquium on One Health: Connections and Collaborations at Simon Fraser University.
Ed Yong first started reporting on long COVID in June 2020, before the condition was widely recognized by the medical community.
In this talk, he shares how he approached his coverage, what he learned, why it mattered, and how this work changed him--his understanding of complex chronic illnesses, his attitudes to journalism, and his hopes for what his field can achieve.
