Her Excellency Adrienne Clarkson, presents the 2002 Michener-Deacon Fellowship to Margaret Munro, a science writer with the National Post.
Ms Munro plans to use her 4 month study leave to examine the potential conflicts of interest and ethical challenges arising from the pharmaceutical industry’s funding of medical research.
The Fellowship was presented during the annual Michener Award ceremony held at Rideau Hall, Ottawa, on April 10th, 2003.
The Michener-Deacon fellowship is awarded annually to a deserving recipient and helps to advance education in the field of journalism and serves the public interest through the promotion of values that benefit the community.
