Christine M. Lovly: Such an inspiring day for women in medicine and women in science

Christine M. Lovly posted on LinkedIn:

”Such an inspiring day for women in medicine and women in science. The director of The National Institutes of Health and the director of National Cancer Institute (NCI) – two of the most senior healthcare and medical research positions in the USA – are both outstanding female leaders (and both oncologists)! This is a historic time, in terms of leadership at NIH and NCI, and a watershed moment in terms of elevating inspiring female role models. Kudos and congratulations beyond words to my boss extraordinaire Kimryn Rathmell for her appointment as NCI director. Her commitment to science, medicine, transparent leadership, mentorship, inclusivity, and team building is simply beyond measure. She will elevate our national cancer program to unparalleled new levels!”
