Traditional media outlets have been facing budget cuts and layoffs for years, with specialized reporters often among the first to go. And yet last year, Boston Globe Media Partners made a significant investment in launching STAT, a new publication that focuses on health, medicine and scientific discovery. STAT executive editor Rick Berke, national correspondent Carl Zimmer, and reporter Rebecca Robbins discussed the publication’s progress and how the field of science journalism is changing. Moderated by MIT's Seth Mnookin.
