It was a privilege to hear from @FLOTUS at today’s “Power of Research: The Need for Gender Equity” luncheon hosted by @SWHR and @womensalz about the importance of investments in women’s health research and her commitment to the White House Initiative on #WomensHealthResearch.
That's the power of research, to investigate and innovative, to help and to heal, to build a better health care system. One that places women and their experiences at its center. Where women don’t just survive, they lead long, healthy, and happy lives. - @FLOTUS

One thought re: FSU and penalizing a team for a key injury: It incentivizes teams to lie about injuries and/or rush players back from injuries before they’re ready.
That is so wrong.

This morning, the @WhiteHouse announced its first-ever Initiative on Women's Health Research. I'm hopeful this long overdue step will help us course-correct and make up for a decades-long lag in women's health research. Excited to see what's to come! whitehouse.gov/briefing-room…

The level of misinformation in all directions at this moment is incredibly high, especially on this platform.
If you see a claim, photo, or video that triggers a strong emotional reaction, take a moment to pause and check for veracity/confirmation from multiple sources.
Loved being on the Hill today with @SWHR @FibroidFoun and @WeCan_WearWhite for a press conference on the reintroduction of the Stephanie Tubbs Jones Uterine Fibroid Research and Education Act. We’re long past due to pass this legislation!

We had a great time with @PWHR_Canada yesterday, kicking off #OSSD2023 with the pre-conference symposium "From Cells to Society: Research and Advocacy to Advance Mature Women’s Health." @OSSDtweets
Research can inform policies and practices that can then improve health and quality of life outcomes. It has an impact — researchers can connect those dots! #OSSD2023
What a day! I’m constantly inspired by the women’s health research community, and I can’t wait to see the advancements that will undoubtedly be made by the people that were in this room.
We were thrilled to cohost a luncheon today w/ @mariashriver @womensalz at @ClevelandClinic on the topic of “The Power of Research: Bridging the Gap.” We can do better - and the future is bright for this research!

Words can’t adequately express how highly I think of @DrSimpsonHSR. She is a phenomenal leader, a passionate advocate, and exceptionally bright. I know how much she will be missed at AcademyHealth, but I’m excited to see what she does next. Congratulations, Lisa!
After 13 rewarding years, our President & CEO @DrSimpsonHSR announces her intention to step down in February 2024.
