Mary Jeanne Kreek’s 1966 discovery that methadone could help opioid addicts transition to normal lives launched a new framework for understanding addiction as a disease rather than a moral weakness. #WomensHistoryMonth

Our trailer is live!   Throughout history, thousands of female scientists have made monumental contributions to their fields, but too many of them have been overlooked. We’re trying to fix this by revisiting the historical record one extraordinary scientist at a time.   #podcast

Thank you all. cbc.ca/news/canada/mo…

While I may be the first woman in this office, I will not be the last—because every little girl watching tonight sees that this is a country of possibilities.

Congratulations Drs. Charpentier and Doudna! An incredibly well-deserved prize to two inspirational #WomenInSTEM for discovery of the gene editing potential of CRISPR, which has impacted all of our science.

2020 Nobel Laureate Charles Rice sent us his first ever selfie right after hearing he had been awarded this year’s #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine. Congratulations!
