San Diego Postdoctoral Scholars Program Enhances Diversity in Biomedical Research
“I’m most proud of how this program is truly impacting the diversity of academia by including individuals from backgrounds historically underrepresented in STEM and the biomedical research workforce,” says JoAnn Trejo, Ph.D., professor at University of California San Diego (UCSD) and director of San Diego’s Institutional Research and Academic Career Development Award (IRACDA). The program, now in its 20th year of NIGMS funding, aims to train a diverse group of postdoctoral fellows (postdocs) for both the teaching and independent research aspects of a career as a professor in the biomedical sciences.

Lou Lasagna and the MIC “Integrated Career Ladder” – More Than Just A “Revolving Door.”
BY MIKE MAGEE
The New York Times recently shinned a light on the FDA’s top science regulator of the tobacco industry, Matt Holman, who announced his retirement after 20 years to join Phillip Morris. As they noted, “To critics, Dr. Holman’s move is a particularly concerning example of the ‘revolving door’ between federal officials and the industries they regulate…”
As a Medical Historian, I’ve never been a fan of the casual “revolving door” metaphor because it doesn’t quite capture the highly structured and deliberate attempts of a variety of academic medical scientists over a number of decade...

Is It Time For The Australasian Institute Of Digital Health To Really Be More Than A Conference Organiser?
The objective would be to eventually have an organisation that had an academic as well as a managerial board and which maybe developed a journal to highlight Australian research and progress in digital health. To my eye these activities are rather under done and could be ramped up to develop a more balanced organisation into the future.I am sure some will think all is OK as it is, or that the AIDH is irrelevant anyway or that I am just an elderly out-of-touch curmudgeon but I do feel improvement and more balance is possible, and Australian Digital Health would be better for it. Does anyone have any views?David. (Sour...

Hospital Libraries are More than a Cost Center
The cost of health care is expensive. Hospitals want to treat patients in a cost efficient manner without sacrificing patient care. It is a balancing act. The hospital librarian can help with that balancing act.
An article published in Health Information & Libraries Journal, describes how clinical librarians providing information to hospital staff in the critical care unit can improve patient care, time savings, and may generate a positive return on investment.
The study was conducted in the United Kingdom, so there may be differences depending on the country your hospital library is in. Over the course of 15 mo...
