For the first time in NIH's history, we have 10 women leading institutes and centers.  Read the blog post for more experiences and insights from women leaders at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). |
"Engaging with women leaders in partnership with our male colleagues sends a powerful and strong message. It's not that we stand apart, it's that we stand among." Patricia Flatley Brennan, R.N., Ph.D.
Director
National Library of Medicine (NLM)
"I think being able to manage stress and stay healthy throughout pregnancy, taking care of small children, and pursuing one's career is difficult. You need help from all directions. . . staying healthy through that process is very important, too." Helene Langevin, M.D.
Director
National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH)
"Having had the privilege of testifying at a House Appropriations Subcommittee meeting in April, it was very noticeable to me that nine of the 13 representatives on the committee were women. And indeed, one of the members of Congress was eight months pregnant. This created a perceptible difference in both the tone and the types of questions asked. . . We at NIH are a reflection of diversity that's occurring in Congress as well. It's a very exciting time to be here." Diana W. Bianchi, M.D.
Director
Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) |
