There are many outlets to publicize your research & activities, including the Meyer Cancer Center site & internal publications (newsletter, weekly events & funding round-up, annual report); the Weill Cornell site, press releases, social media.
Please contact us for support and guidance, and specifically for any of the following:
- Publications: Let us know ASAP about any upcoming or recently released publications. Weill Cornell’s Office of External Affairs requests as much lead time as possible (ideally 6 weeks) in order to prepare press releases and acquire approvals. They work with journals to ensure embargos are followed.
- External press releases: Please let us know about any releases being issued by funding sources, journals or other external organizations, as they are supposed to be vetted by the Office of External Affairs. Allow 7-10 business days, if at all possible.
- Patient stories: We are always keen to feature clinical successes and patient stories, for our website and to pitch to media. Please let us know of any leads. Release forms are also required.
- Photography: To schedule headshots or other lab photography/video needs. Release forms are required for any patients/students/non-staff. Photos for use on lab sites, presentations, or other purposes are available here
- External media: Media conducting interviews on campus are required to be escorted by staff from the Office of External Affairs. Please let us know about any requests.
- Scientific conferences: Media support may be available for those presenting at major scientific conferences, such as ASCO, AACR, ASH, ASTRO. Let us know when your abstracts are accepted.
