195
00:08:34,380 --> 00:08:38,684
ALABAMA.  THESE FOUR INDIVIDUALS

196
00:08:38,751 --> 00:08:40,319
ON THIS STAGE REPRESENT

197
00:08:40,386 --> 00:08:42,388
EXCELLENCE, AND AT THE HIGHEST

198
00:08:42,455 --> 00:08:44,590

00:08:47,927 --> 00:08:48,160
FLOWERS.

202
00:08:48,227 --> 00:08:58,771
I'M GOING TO CALL MY COLLEAGUETY

00:09:00,039 --> 00:09:02,408
KIANA ATKINS BACK TO THE STAGE

204
00:09:02,475 --> 00:09:02,708
TO MODERATE.

205
00:09:02,775 --> 00:09:03,843
THEY HAVE ALL HAD A MAJOR

206
00:09:03,910 --> 00:09:04,911
INFLUENCE ON MY CAREER.

207
00:09:04,977 --> 00:09:06,545
I WOULD NOT BE HERE TODAY

208
00:09:06,612 --> 00:09:09,315
WITHOUT THEM AND COUNT MYSELF

209
00:09:09,382 --> 00:09:11,484
AMONG THE MANY FORTUNATE

210
00:09:11,550 --> 00:09:13,452
HISTORICALLY UNDERREPRESENTED

211
00:09:13,519 --> 00:09:15,087
MINORITIES TO HAVE BENEFITED

212
00:09:15,154 --> 00:09:17,623
FROM THEIR WORK AND WITNESS.

213
00:09:17,690 --> 00:09:20,192
[APPLAUSE]

214
00:09:24,130 --> 00:09:25,798
>> HELLO AGAIN.

215
00:09:25,865 --> 00:09:27,033
GOOD AFTERNOON.

216
00:09:27,099 --> 00:09:28,534
BEFORE I START TO MODERATE THE

217
00:09:28,601 --> 00:09:29,769
SESSION, I WOULD ALSO JUST LIKE

218
00:09:29,835 --> 00:09:33,139
TO GIVE A SPECIAL THANKS TO DR.

219
00:09:33,205 --> 00:09:33,439
BERTAGNOLLI.

220
00:09:33,506 --> 00:09:36,108
SHE COULD NOT BE WITH US TODAY.

221
00:09:36,175 --> 00:09:39,612
HOWEVER, SHE REALLY TRIED TO,

222
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,281
AND SHE WISHED SHE COULD SHARE

223
00:09:42,348 --> 00:09:46,018
AND BE ABLE TO WELCOME AND

224
00:09:46,085 --> 00:09:46,552
SUPPORT.

225
00:09:46,619 --> 00:09:48,087
AGAIN, SHE WAS UNABLE BUT WE

226
00:09:48,154 --> 00:09:50,723
WANT TO THANK HER FOR MAKING THE

227
00:09:50,790 --> 00:09:52,925
THINGS THAT SHE DID HAPPEN,

228
00:09:52,992 --> 00:09:54,327
HAPPEN FOR US.

229
00:09:54,393 --> 00:09:57,263
SO, I'M GOING TO START WITH THE

230
00:09:57,330 --> 00:10:00,333
CAREER JOURNEYS.

231
00:10:00,399 --> 00:10:02,435
YOUR CAREER JOURNEYS AND ASK DR.

232
00:10:02,501 --> 00:10:04,737
OLDEN TO START THE PANEL FIRST

233
00:10:04,804 --> 00:10:06,806
AND WE'LL MOVE CLOSER FURTHER

234
00:10:06,872 --> 00:10:07,807
TOWARDS ME.

235
00:10:07,873 --> 00:10:09,875
SO, THE FIRST QUESTION WE'D LIKE

236
00:10:09,942 --> 00:10:13,245
TO KNOW, IS MORE ABOUT YOUR

237
00:10:13,312 --> 00:10:14,780
CAREER JOURNEYS AT NIH.

238
00:10:14,847 --> 00:10:16,215
DURING YOUR TENURE, YOUR CAREERS

239
00:10:16,282 --> 00:10:18,417
HERE, WHAT DID YOU FIND TO BE

240
00:10:18,484 --> 00:10:21,287
THE MOST CHALLENGING AND THE

241
00:10:21,354 --> 00:10:23,856
MOST REWARDING?

242
00:10:29,895 --> 00:10:32,465
>> WELL, WHEN I INTERVIEWED FOR

243
00:10:32,531 --> 00:10:36,402
THE POSITION AS DIRECTOR FOR

244
00:10:36,469 --> 00:10:37,970
NIEHS WITH DR. HEALEY, SHE ASKED

245
00:10:38,037 --> 00:10:40,239
ME WHAT WOULD I MAKE AS MY

246
00:10:40,306 --> 00:10:42,641
NUMBER ONE PRIORITY IF I WAS TO

247
00:10:42,708 --> 00:10:45,277
BE SELECTED AS DIRECTOR OF

248
00:10:45,344 --> 00:10:45,611
NIEHS.

249
00:10:45,678 --> 00:10:48,147
I TOLD HER TWO THINGS.

250
00:10:48,214 --> 00:10:50,449
FIRST, I WOULD MAKE THE

251
00:10:50,516 --> 00:10:51,650
INSTITUTE RESPONSIVE TO THE

252
00:10:51,717 --> 00:10:54,053
NEEDS OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE,

253
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:57,323
NUMBER ONE.

254
00:10:57,390 --> 00:11:02,928
AND NUMBER TWO, MY VISION OF

255
00:11:02,995 --> 00:11:05,664
ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH WAS

256
00:11:05,731 --> 00:11:07,299
BROADER, MORE EXPANSIVE, THAN

257
00:11:07,366 --> 00:11:09,068
FOCUSED ON CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL

258
00:11:09,135 --> 00:11:11,737
AGENTS IN THE ENVIRONMENT.

259
00:11:11,804 --> 00:11:13,739
THAT SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF

260
00:11:13,806 --> 00:11:15,508
HEALTH, IN MY ESTIMATION, WERE

261
00:11:15,574 --> 00:11:19,445
MAJOR PART OF WHAT WE SHOULD BE

262
00:11:19,512 --> 00:11:20,413
DOING IN NIEHS.

263
00:11:20,479 --> 00:11:23,382
AND IF I WAS TO BECOME DIRECTOR,

264
00:11:23,449 --> 00:11:27,553
THAT SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF

265
00:11:27,620 --> 00:11:30,289
HEALTH WOULD BE ONE OF THE

266
00:11:30,356 --> 00:11:33,893
PROGRAMS THAT WE WOULD DEVELOP.

267
00:11:33,959 --> 00:11:44,370
AND I WOULD SAY DR. HEALEY AND

268
00:11:44,437 --> 00:11:52,411
DR. DRAHONI AND DR. COLLINS,

269
00:11:52,478 --> 00:11:56,015
THANK YOU, WELL COLLINS WASN'T

270
00:11:56,082 --> 00:11:58,984
THERE, DR. VARMUS, ALL SUPPORTED

271
00:11:59,051 --> 00:11:59,285
THAT EFFORT.

272
00:11:59,351 --> 00:12:03,255
SO I THINK IT WAS A JOY TO

273
00:12:03,322 --> 00:12:06,792
INTRODUCE SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF

274
00:12:06,859 --> 00:12:12,064
HEALTH INTO ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH

275
00:12:12,131 --> 00:12:12,398
.

276
00:12:12,465 --> 00:12:16,669
IN 1991, DAVID WILLIAMS AT

277
00:12:16,735 --> 00:12:17,536
HARVARD DID A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW

278
00:12:17,603 --> 00:12:20,372
OF THE NUMBER OF PAPERS BEING

279
00:12:20,439 --> 00:12:21,574
PUBLISHED ON SOCIAL DETERMINANTS

280
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,210
OF HEALTH THAT MENTIONED JUST

281
00:12:24,276 --> 00:12:25,744
THOSE TWO WORDS.

282
00:12:25,811 --> 00:12:27,813
IT TURNS OUT THERE WERE EIGHT

283
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,549
PAPERS AT THAT TIME.

284
00:12:30,616 --> 00:12:33,519
BASED ON OUR INVESTMENTS, PLUS

285
00:12:33,586 --> 00:12:35,588
OTHERS, AND WE GOT THE NATIONAL

286
00:12:35,654 --> 00:12:36,455
ACADEMY OF SCIENCE INVOLVED,

287
00:12:36,522 --> 00:12:38,858
THERE ARE NOW HUNDREDS OF PAPERS

288
00:12:38,924 --> 00:12:41,026
ON SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF

289
00:12:41,093 --> 00:12:41,260
HEALTH.

290
00:12:41,327 --> 00:12:44,763
AND THERE ARE NOW DISCUSSIONS TO

291
00:12:44,830 --> 00:12:47,733
INCLUDE SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF

292
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:49,935
HEALTH INTO PRECISION MEDICINE.

293
00:12:50,002 --> 00:12:51,804
IN OTHER WORDS, THE SOCIAL

294
00:12:51,871 --> 00:12:54,206
ENDPOINTS CAN BE IDENTIFIED,

295
00:12:54,273 --> 00:12:57,576
JUST AS DRIVER MUTATION CAN BE

296
00:12:57,643 --> 00:13:00,446
IDENTIFIED, AND SO I'M EXCITED

297
00:13:00,513 --> 00:13:06,719
AND PLEASED THAT I'M AROUND TO

298
00:13:06,785 --> 00:13:09,255
SEE HOW AFTER 30 OR SO YEARS,

299
00:13:09,321 --> 00:13:12,391
SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH IS

300
00:13:12,458 --> 00:13:13,392
NOW A MAJOR PART OF

301
00:13:13,459 --> 00:13:16,395
ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH.

302
00:13:23,702 --> 00:13:30,442
>> THANK YOU, DR. OLDEN.

303
00:13:30,509 --> 00:13:31,210
DR. HARDEN?

304
00:13:31,277 --> 00:13:34,713
>> WELL, THANK YOU FOR THE

305
00:13:34,780 --> 00:13:34,980
QUESTION.

306
00:13:35,047 --> 00:13:38,651
WHEN HE ARRIVED AT THE NATIONAL

307
00:13:38,717 --> 00:13:43,822
INSTITUTE ON AGING, I KNEW I HAD

308
00:13:43,889 --> 00:13:45,791
FOUND A GREAT HOME.

309
00:13:45,858 --> 00:13:47,526
ONE OF THE BARRIERS, SOME OF THE

310
00:13:47,593 --> 00:13:50,930
CHALLENGES AT THAT TIME WHEN I

311
00:13:50,996 --> 00:13:54,433
ARRIVED DEALT WITH THIS NOTION

312
00:13:54,500 --> 00:13:55,634
OF AN ISM.

313
00:13:55,701 --> 00:13:58,837
WE ALL KNOW ABOUT SEXISM.

314
00:13:58,904 --> 00:14:01,140
WE KNOW ABOUT RACISM.

315
00:14:01,207 --> 00:14:03,409
BUT AT THAT TIME, AND AS WE

316
00:14:03,475 --> 00:14:10,482
CONTINUE TO THIS VERY DAY, WE

317
00:14:10,549 --> 00:14:12,451
CONFRONT ISSUES AROUND AGEISM.

318
00:14:12,518 --> 00:14:14,620
WHEN I JOINED THE NIA, AS I SAID

319
00:14:14,687 --> 00:14:16,589
BEFORE, I KNEW I WAS AT HOME

320
00:14:16,655 --> 00:14:19,558
BECAUSE THESE WERE PEOPLE WHO

321
00:14:19,625 --> 00:14:25,798
WERE QUITE KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT

322
00:14:25,864 --> 00:14:27,666
THAT PARTICULAR ISM, AGEISM.

323
00:14:27,733 --> 00:14:29,068
I KNEW WITH THAT KIND OF

324
00:14:29,134 --> 00:14:31,403
BACKGROUND THEY COULD UNDERSTAND

325
00:14:31,470 --> 00:14:38,644
PERHAPS MY BACKGROUND OF RACISM.

326
00:14:38,711 --> 00:14:41,347
SO AS WE CONFRONTED ISSUES OF

327
00:14:41,413 --> 00:14:42,414
AGEISM AT THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE

328
00:14:42,481 --> 00:14:49,688
ON AGING, WE WERE ABLE TO

329
00:14:49,755 --> 00:14:52,224
ADDRESS A MULTITUDE OF ISSUES.

330
00:14:52,291 --> 00:14:56,395
FOR OLDER ADULTS THERE WAS A

331
00:14:56,462 --> 00:14:58,664
SITUATION OF DISCRIMINATION JUST

332
00:14:58,731 --> 00:15:02,101
LIKE PEOPLE LIKE ME HAD

333
00:15:02,167 --> 00:15:03,168
CONFRONTED.

334
00:15:03,235 --> 00:15:06,905
WE ALSO HAD ISSUES FOR OLDER

335
00:15:06,972 --> 00:15:09,308
ADULTS WITH SEPARATION, AGAIN

336
00:15:09,375 --> 00:15:14,980
GIVEN MY HISTORY DEFINITELY

337
00:15:15,047 --> 00:15:15,681
UNDERSTOOD THE CHALLENGES AND

338
00:15:15,748 --> 00:15:17,316
BARRIERS WHEN ONE IS CONFRONTED.

339
00:15:17,383 --> 00:15:20,619
AND YOU THINK ABOUT EVEN TO THIS

340
00:15:20,686 --> 00:15:24,890
DAY, OLDER ADULTS WITHOUT

341
00:15:24,957 --> 00:15:25,958
FAMILIES ARE STILL SOMEWHAT

342
00:15:26,025 --> 00:15:28,594
SEPARATED WHEN THEY NEED CARE AT

343
00:15:28,661 --> 00:15:30,362
THE END OF LIFE.

344
00:15:30,429 --> 00:15:34,300
THEY ENDS UP IN ASSISTED CARE

345
00:15:34,366 --> 00:15:35,934
FACILITIES, ASSISTED LIVING

346
00:15:36,001 --> 00:15:36,568
FACILITIES, AND NURSING HOMES,

347
00:15:36,635 --> 00:15:40,339
WHERE THEY ARE OFTEN SEPARATED

348
00:15:40,406 --> 00:15:44,510
AND  SEGREGATED AT TIMES.

349
00:15:44,576 --> 00:15:48,247
THERE'S ALSO THIS ISSUE OF

350
00:15:48,314 --> 00:15:49,381
DISCRIMINATION, AND

351
00:15:49,448 --> 00:15:50,983
UNFORTUNATELY IT'S PLAYING OUT

352
00:15:51,050 --> 00:15:55,154
THIS VERY DAY IN OUR NATIONAL

353
00:15:55,220 --> 00:15:58,991
POLITICS, THAT AGEISM IS

354
00:15:59,058 --> 00:16:01,660
SURFACING IN OUR NATIONAL

355
00:16:01,727 --> 00:16:01,960
DEBATE.

356
00:16:02,027 --> 00:16:04,863
WE REALLY HAVE A REAL NEED FOR

357
00:16:04,930 --> 00:16:08,300
THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE ON AGING

358
00:16:08,367 --> 00:16:10,703
AS WE CONTINUE TO CONFRONT THE

359
00:16:10,769 --> 00:16:15,240
BARRIERS NOT ONLY FOR AGE BUT

360
00:16:15,307 --> 00:16:17,876
FOR RACE AND FOR GENDER.

361
00:16:17,943 --> 00:16:18,744
THESE WERE BARRIERS, CHALLENGES

362
00:16:18,811 --> 00:16:27,152
IF YOU WILL, WHEN I ARRIVED.

363
00:16:27,219 --> 00:16:28,253
WE CONTINUE TO ADDRESS THESE

364
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:34,059
ISSUES TODAY.

365
00:16:34,126 --> 00:16:36,161
>> THANK YOU, DR. HARDEN.

366
00:16:36,228 --> 00:16:39,531
DR. STINSON?

367
00:16:39,598 --> 00:16:43,369
>> I THINK ONE OF THE BIGGEST

368
00:16:43,435 --> 00:16:49,074
CHALLENGES HAS BEEN THE NIH

369
00:16:49,141 --> 00:16:49,641
CULTURE.

370
00:16:49,708 --> 00:16:51,777
CULTURE IS LEARNED.

371
00:16:51,844 --> 00:16:53,045
IT'S SHARED.

372
00:16:53,112 --> 00:16:54,246
IT'S SYMBOLIC.

373
00:16:54,313 --> 00:16:58,183
AND IT'S ALSO INTEGRATED INTO

374
00:16:58,250 --> 00:17:01,553
THE FABRIC OF, YOU KNOW, SOCIETY

375
00:17:01,620 --> 00:17:02,855
OR ORGANIZATIONS.

376
00:17:02,921 --> 00:17:04,857
BUT IT'S NOT STATIC.

377
00:17:04,923 --> 00:17:06,058
I MEAN, IT'S DYNAMIC.

378
00:17:06,125 --> 00:17:11,964
IT'S NOT TOO LONG AGO THAT THERE

379
00:17:12,030 --> 00:17:14,266
WERE TOPICS LIKE MINORITY

380
00:17:14,333 --> 00:17:14,833
HEALTH, HEALTH DISPARITIES,

381
00:17:14,900 --> 00:17:15,801
SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH,

382
00:17:15,868 --> 00:17:18,670
THAT HAD VERY LITTLE CURRENCY,

383
00:17:18,737 --> 00:17:21,073
YOU KNOW, AT NIH.

384
00:17:21,140 --> 00:17:23,242
BUT SOME OF THE THINGS THAT HAVE

385
00:17:23,308 --> 00:17:26,345
HAPPENED OVER THE LAST, YOU

386
00:17:26,412 --> 00:17:29,181
KNOW, THREE OR SO YEARS

387
00:17:29,248 --> 00:17:31,250
UNFORTUNATELY, GEORGE FLOYD, THE

388
00:17:31,316 --> 00:17:33,886
COVID-19 PANDEMIC, HAS REALLY

389
00:17:33,952 --> 00:17:36,855
CAUSED A SEISMIC SHIFT, YOU

390
00:17:36,922 --> 00:17:38,223
KNOW, AT NIH WHERE THERE'S A

391
00:17:38,290 --> 00:17:40,893
GREATER APPRECIATION AND

392
00:17:40,959 --> 00:17:45,063
UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT'S REALLY

393
00:17:45,130 --> 00:17:45,731
IMPORTANT.

394
00:17:45,798 --> 00:17:49,234
NIH HAS ALWAYS BEEN THIS

395
00:17:49,301 --> 00:17:51,437
BEHEMOTH OF A BIOMEDICAL

396
00:17:51,503 --> 00:17:54,706
RESEARCH BUT NOW THERE'S OTHER

397
00:17:54,773 --> 00:17:56,475
TYPES OF RESEARCH THAT HAVE

398
00:17:56,542 --> 00:18:02,047
TAKEN ON A NEW SIGNIFICANCE, IN

399
00:18:02,114 --> 00:18:03,482
THE EFFORTS TO IMPROVE THE

400
00:18:03,549 --> 00:18:05,551
HEALTH OF EVERYONE IN THE

401
00:18:05,617 --> 00:18:06,151
COUNTRY.

402
00:18:06,218 --> 00:18:07,519
TWO EXAMPLES.

403
00:18:07,586 --> 00:18:12,491
ONE IS CEAL, COMMUNITY

404
00:18:12,558 --> 00:18:14,560
ENGAGEMENT ALLIANCE, WHERE

405
00:18:14,626 --> 00:18:19,264
COVID-19 HIT THE WORLD AND THE

406
00:18:19,331 --> 00:18:22,801
DIRECTOR OF NIH TASKED DR. PEREZ

407
00:18:22,868 --> 00:18:25,671
ESTABLE OF NIMHD AND DR. GARY

408
00:18:25,737 --> 00:18:28,040
GIBBONS OF NHLBI TO COME UP WITH

409
00:18:28,106 --> 00:18:32,678
FULL-COURT PRESS TO ENSURE

410
00:18:32,744 --> 00:18:33,445
INDIVIDUALS IN

411
00:18:33,512 --> 00:18:34,379
DISPROPORTIONATELY AFFECTED

412
00:18:34,446 --> 00:18:37,382
COMMUNITIES HAD ACCESS TO

413
00:18:37,449 --> 00:18:42,654
TESTING FOR COVID, AND COULD

414
00:18:42,721 --> 00:18:43,956
PARTICIPATE IN THE INEVITABLE

415
00:18:44,022 --> 00:18:48,227
CLINICAL TRIALS FOR VACCINES AND

416
00:18:48,293 --> 00:18:50,529
FOR TREATMENTS.

417
00:18:50,596 --> 00:18:52,297
AND THEN THERE'S COMPASS,

418
00:18:52,364 --> 00:18:56,869
COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS TO

419
00:18:56,935 --> 00:18:59,371
ADVANCE SCIENCE FOR SOCIETY,

420
00:18:59,438 --> 00:19:00,305
WHERE THE NIH COMMON FUND OUT OF

421
00:19:00,372 --> 00:19:04,977
THE OFFICE OF THE DIRECTOR IS

422
00:19:05,043 --> 00:19:06,778
INVESTING TENS OF MILLIONS OF

423
00:19:06,845 --> 00:19:09,715
DOLLARS FOR THE NEXT TEN YEARS

424
00:19:09,781 --> 00:19:14,186
TO PROVIDE DIRECT SUPPORT TO

425
00:19:14,253 --> 00:19:14,786
COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS,

426
00:19:14,853 --> 00:19:16,588
AND THEY DECIDE WHO THEIR

427
00:19:16,655 --> 00:19:18,257
ACADEMIC PARTNERS ARE.

428
00:19:18,323 --> 00:19:22,961
THEY ARE THE ONES THAT CONTROL

429
00:19:23,028 --> 00:19:25,163
THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE

430
00:19:25,230 --> 00:19:25,797
INTERVENTION IN THEIR

431
00:19:25,864 --> 00:19:27,132
COMMUNITIES.

432
00:19:27,199 --> 00:19:29,968
THEY ARE THE ONES THAT ENGAGE

433
00:19:30,035 --> 00:19:36,074
DIRECTLY WITH NIH, AS FAR AS THE

434
00:19:36,141 --> 00:19:36,708
PROGRESS AND IMPROVEMENTS THAT

435
00:19:36,775 --> 00:19:38,510
THEY ARE, YOU KNOW, SEEING IN

436
00:19:38,577 --> 00:19:39,478
THEIR COMMUNITIES.

437
00:19:39,545 --> 00:19:41,346
THERE WAS A TIME NOT LONG AGO I

438
00:19:41,413 --> 00:19:44,116
WOULD HAVE BET ANYTHING THAT I

439
00:19:44,182 --> 00:19:46,585
WOULD NEVER SEE ANYTHING LIKE

440
00:19:46,652 --> 00:19:48,253
THAT AT NIH.

441
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:49,688
BUT THAT'S THE CHANGE IN THE

442
00:19:49,755 --> 00:19:50,923
CULTURE.

443
00:19:50,989 --> 00:19:52,391
THERE'S MORE THAT NEEDS TO BE

444
00:19:52,457 --> 00:19:53,425
DONE, FOR SURE.

445
00:19:53,492 --> 00:19:56,562
THERE'S NO QUESTION ABOUT THAT.

446
00:19:56,628 --> 00:19:58,630
BUT THIS IS A DIFFERENT, YOU

447
00:19:58,697 --> 00:20:00,732
KNOW, THIS IS A DIFFERENT NIH

448
00:20:00,799 --> 00:20:02,568
THAN IT WAS BEFORE BECAUSE

449
00:20:02,634 --> 00:20:05,337
THERE'S A GREATER INCLUSIVITY

450
00:20:05,404 --> 00:20:09,174
AND EMBRACEMENT OF A WIDER

451
00:20:09,241 --> 00:20:10,309
ASPECT OF RESEARCH.

452
00:20:10,375 --> 00:20:11,810
AND ULTIMATELY THIS WILL BE TO

453
00:20:11,877 --> 00:20:14,379
THE BENEFIT OF EVERYONE IN THIS

454
00:20:14,446 --> 00:20:18,417
COUNTRY.

455
00:20:18,483 --> 00:20:23,388
>> THANK YOU.

456
00:20:23,522 --> 00:20:24,289
>> RECOGNIZING THAT HE OF THE

457
00:20:24,356 --> 00:20:27,726
FOUR OF US IS THE ONLY ONE WHO

458
00:20:27,793 --> 00:20:29,895
IS STILL EMPLOYED AT THE NIH,

459
00:20:29,962 --> 00:20:31,763
BUT THEN THAT KIND OF OPENS UP

460
00:20:31,830 --> 00:20:33,165
THE FLOOR A LITTLE BIT BECAUSE

461
00:20:33,231 --> 00:20:36,335
WE CAN SAY A BIT MORE ABOUT

462
00:20:36,401 --> 00:20:37,336
MAYBE WHAT WE'RE THINKING

463
00:20:37,402 --> 00:20:38,837
ALTHOUGH I'M SURE HE WAS HONEST

464
00:20:38,904 --> 00:20:41,306
IN WHAT HE GAVE IN HIS REMARKS.

465
00:20:41,373 --> 00:20:45,777
BUT I HAVE TO SAY THAT WHEN I

466
00:20:45,844 --> 00:20:48,080
CAME IN 1991, AS DR. OLDEN

467
00:20:48,146 --> 00:20:49,648
POINTED OUT, DR. HEALEY WAS THE

468
00:20:49,715 --> 00:20:50,182
DIRECTOR.

469
00:20:50,248 --> 00:20:52,117
THAT WAS GOOD BECAUSE I HAD

470
00:20:52,184 --> 00:20:53,652
KNOWN HER SINCE SHE WAS A

471
00:20:53,719 --> 00:20:54,686
MEDICAL STUDENT AND ACTUALLY

472
00:20:54,753 --> 00:20:56,288
TAUGHT HER, WITH THE PRESS HAD A

473
00:20:56,355 --> 00:21:01,193
GREAT JOB WITH CALLING IT THE

474
00:21:01,259 --> 00:21:02,227
OLD GIRLS NETWORK BECAUSE TALKED

475
00:21:02,294 --> 00:21:04,696
SO MUCH ABOUT THE OLD BOYS

476
00:21:04,763 --> 00:21:05,697
NETWORK.

477
00:21:05,764 --> 00:21:06,765
ALSO BECAUSE DR. OLDEN HAD BEEN

478
00:21:06,832 --> 00:21:08,834
HEAD OF THE CANCER CENTER AT

479
00:21:08,900 --> 00:21:11,169
HOWARD WHERE I HAD BEEN CHAIR OF

480
00:21:11,236 --> 00:21:12,037
PATHOLOGY BEFORE COMING HERE.

481
00:21:12,104 --> 00:21:14,106
IN FACT HE WAS THE ONE THAT

482
00:21:14,172 --> 00:21:16,842
HELPED INTRODUCE OUR TESTING FOR

483
00:21:16,908 --> 00:21:17,943
BREAST CANCER, HORMONE LEVELS

484
00:21:18,010 --> 00:21:18,477
FOR US.

485
00:21:18,543 --> 00:21:20,345
SO I KNEW HIM FROM HOWARD.

486
00:21:20,412 --> 00:21:23,415
AND KNOWING HE WAS THE FIRST

487
00:21:23,482 --> 00:21:25,550
INSTITUTE DIRECTOR AT NIH, HE

488
00:21:25,617 --> 00:21:27,452
BROKE A LOT OF THE CHALLENGES

489
00:21:27,519 --> 00:21:29,121
AND A LOT OF CEILINGS THAT SOME

490
00:21:29,187 --> 00:21:30,656
OF US COMING ALONG BEHIND HIM

491
00:21:30,722 --> 00:21:31,523
HAD TO FACE.

492
00:21:31,590 --> 00:21:34,092
SO WE OWE HIM A DEBT OF

493
00:21:34,159 --> 00:21:35,927
GRATITUDE BECAUSE HE CAME ON AS

494
00:21:35,994 --> 00:21:39,665
DIRECTOR OF NIEHS, DID A BANG-UP

495
00:21:39,731 --> 00:21:41,400
JOB LEADING THAT, NO COMPROMISES

496
00:21:41,466 --> 00:21:43,068
IN ANYTHING.

497
00:21:43,135 --> 00:21:45,370
AND REALLY SORT OF SET STANDARDS

498
00:21:45,437 --> 00:21:46,238
THAT MADE IT POSSIBLE FOR THE

499
00:21:46,304 --> 00:21:48,106
REST OF US TO COME ON AND DO

500
00:21:48,173 --> 00:21:55,480
WHAT WE NEEDED TO DO.

501
00:21:55,547 --> 00:21:57,883
IT WAS GREAT TO HAVE DR. HEALEY

502
00:21:57,949 --> 00:21:58,417
AS DIRECTOR.

503
00:21:58,483 --> 00:21:59,718
THE OFFICE OF RESEARCH ON

504
00:21:59,785 --> 00:22:01,019
WOMEN'S HEALTH WAS BRAND NEW.

505
00:22:01,086 --> 00:22:02,688
ONE NICE THING, THEY HAD NOBODY

506
00:22:02,754 --> 00:22:04,423
TO COMPARE ME TO BECAUSE NOBODY

507
00:22:04,489 --> 00:22:06,058
HAD EVER DONE IT BEFORE.

508
00:22:06,124 --> 00:22:09,027
BUT IT ALSO WAS A CHALLENGE FOR

509
00:22:09,094 --> 00:22:13,398
ME BECAUSE IN DEFINING THE ROLE

510
00:22:13,465 --> 00:22:15,133
AND EVENTUALLY DEFINING WHAT THE

511
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:16,034
POSITION DESCRIPTION WAS, I

512
00:22:16,101 --> 00:22:19,971
NEEDED TO DELIVER AND SHOW

513
00:22:20,038 --> 00:22:20,572
SOMETHING OF SCIENTIFIC

514
00:22:20,639 --> 00:22:22,274
CONTRIBUTION TO THE NIH TO

515
00:22:22,340 --> 00:22:23,842
SUSTAIN THAT OFFICE.

516
00:22:23,909 --> 00:22:26,344
ONE OF MY GREATEST CHALLENGES

517
00:22:26,411 --> 00:22:27,979
WAS ACTUALLY BECAUSE THAT OFFICE

518
00:22:28,046 --> 00:22:30,182
WAS REALLY FIRST SEEN AS THE

519
00:22:30,248 --> 00:22:32,250
OFFICE TO ENSURE THE INCLUSION

520
00:22:32,317 --> 00:22:35,087
OF WOMEN, AND OF PEOPLE OF -- OF

521
00:22:35,153 --> 00:22:37,155
MINORITIES, AS WAS WORDED THEN,

522
00:22:37,222 --> 00:22:38,023
IN CLINICAL RESEARCH STUDIES

523
00:22:38,090 --> 00:22:39,357
FUNDED BY THE NIH.

524
00:22:39,424 --> 00:22:41,426
AND WE ACTUALLY WANTED TO EXPAND

525
00:22:41,493 --> 00:22:44,262
THAT TO NOT JUST BEING A

526
00:22:44,329 --> 00:22:46,031
MONITORING OFFICE BUT A POLICY

527
00:22:46,098 --> 00:22:47,466
OFFICE AND A RESEARCH OFFICE.

528
00:22:47,532 --> 00:22:49,868
AND WE WERE ABLE TO DO THAT WITH

529
00:22:49,935 --> 00:22:51,837
DR. HEALEY SORT OF SAYING GO FOR

530
00:22:51,903 --> 00:22:53,905
IT BECAUSE SHE WAS INTERESTED IN

531
00:22:53,972 --> 00:22:55,440
WOMEN'S HEALTH AND ALLOWED US TO

532
00:22:55,507 --> 00:22:56,408
GO FORWARD.

533
00:22:56,475 --> 00:22:59,044
SHE JUST SAID KEEP HER INFORMED,

534
00:22:59,111 --> 00:22:59,911
DON'T LET HER BE SURPRISED AT

535
00:22:59,978 --> 00:23:02,214
SOMETHING BY HEARING IT FROM A

536
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:05,484
REPORTER, TO MAKE SURE SHE KNEW

537
00:23:05,550 --> 00:23:08,220
BIT. -- ABOUT IT.

538
00:23:08,286 --> 00:23:11,523
SHE WAS SUPPORTIVE OF EFFORTS TO

539
00:23:11,590 --> 00:23:13,158
INCREASE THOSE OF US OF COLOR AS

540
00:23:13,225 --> 00:23:14,693
WELL AS WOMEN IN LEADERSHIP

541
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:16,661
POSITIONS AT THE NIH.

542
00:23:16,728 --> 00:23:18,196
AND I REALLY ENJOYED SOME OF THE

543
00:23:18,263 --> 00:23:19,931
THINGS THAT SHE DID.

544
00:23:19,998 --> 00:23:22,033
SHE HAD MEETINGS WERE

545
00:23:22,100 --> 00:23:22,934
CONGRESSMEN STOKES, LOUIS

546
00:23:23,001 --> 00:23:24,870
STOKES, ON THE HILL THEN.

547
00:23:24,936 --> 00:23:26,738
AND HE WOULD HAVE MEETINGS WITH

548
00:23:26,805 --> 00:23:29,574
HER, I THINK ABOUT TWICE A YEAR.

549
00:23:29,641 --> 00:23:31,643
AND I REMEMBER HIM EXPRESSING

550
00:23:31,710 --> 00:23:33,178
HOW PLEASED HE WAS TO SEE THE

551
00:23:33,245 --> 00:23:34,713
NUMBER OF PEOPLE OF COLOR THAT

552
00:23:34,780 --> 00:23:36,581
SHE NOW HAD IN HER

553
00:23:36,648 --> 00:23:38,216
ADMINISTRATION WHEN SHE WOULD

554
00:23:38,283 --> 00:23:41,486
BRING ALL OF US WITH HER.

555
00:23:41,553 --> 00:23:43,155
I REMEMBER LATER NIH DIRECTOR

556
00:23:43,221 --> 00:23:44,623
WHO WAS GOING FOR THAT MEETING,

557
00:23:44,689 --> 00:23:46,324
I SORT OF ASKED HIM, AM I GOING

558
00:23:46,391 --> 00:23:48,727
TO GET TO GO, AND I WAS TOLD I

559
00:23:48,794 --> 00:23:50,128
WAS NOT NEEDED.

560
00:23:50,195 --> 00:23:51,596
IN FACT THOSE MEETINGS NO LONGER

561
00:23:51,663 --> 00:23:52,330
WENT FORWARD AFTER THAT.

562
00:23:52,397 --> 00:23:54,332
I WON'T CALL THE NAME OF THAT

563
00:23:54,399 --> 00:23:57,269
DIRECTOR BUT I CAN RECALL THAT

564
00:23:57,335 --> 00:23:57,502
VIVIDLY.

565
00:23:57,569 --> 00:24:00,038
SO, I HAVE SEEN AS WE MOVE

566
00:24:00,105 --> 00:24:01,339
FORWARD, WE HAVE MOVED FORWARD

567
00:24:01,406 --> 00:24:04,943
QUITE A BIT AT NIH, BUT THERE'S

568
00:24:05,010 --> 00:24:06,144
STILL SOME AREAS THAT

569
00:24:06,211 --> 00:24:07,946
HISTORICALLY WE SORT OF SEE

570
00:24:08,013 --> 00:24:08,980
REPEAT THEMSELVES.

571
00:24:09,047 --> 00:24:11,016
I HAVE TO SAY ONE OF THE

572
00:24:11,082 --> 00:24:14,786
CHALLENGES I HAD IN THE OFFICE

573
00:24:14,853 --> 00:24:16,121
RESEARCH ON WOMEN'S HEALTH, IT

574
00:24:16,188 --> 00:24:17,322
WAS SEEN AS A POLICY OFFICE.

575
00:24:17,389 --> 00:24:18,957
WE SET UP A STRATEGIC PLAN FOR

576
00:24:19,024 --> 00:24:20,025
RESEARCH BUT ONE OF THE THINGS I

577
00:24:20,091 --> 00:24:22,027
WANTED TO DO WAS TO MAKE SURE

578
00:24:22,093 --> 00:24:23,461
WHEN WE WERE ADDRESSING WOMEN'S

579
00:24:23,528 --> 00:24:25,397
HEALTH THAT WE WERE ADDRESSING

580
00:24:25,463 --> 00:24:27,032
THE HEALTH OF ALL WOMEN.

581
00:24:27,098 --> 00:24:29,334
AND ONE OF THE THINGS WHEN WE

582
00:24:29,401 --> 00:24:30,235
WERE LOOKING AT CAREERS FOR

583
00:24:30,302 --> 00:24:32,103
WOMEN THAT MANY OF OUR

584
00:24:32,170 --> 00:24:33,839
CONSTITUENTS POINT OUT WHICH I

585
00:24:33,905 --> 00:24:35,040
REALLY KNEW AND THAT IS THAT

586
00:24:35,106 --> 00:24:40,312
SOME OF THE THINGS THAT MIGHT

587
00:24:40,378 --> 00:24:42,480
WORK FOR WOMEN IN GENERAL MIGHT

588
00:24:42,547 --> 00:24:43,915
NOT ALWAYS BE HELPFUL FOR WOMEN

589
00:24:43,982 --> 00:24:44,783
OF COLOR.

590
00:24:44,850 --> 00:24:47,419
SO, I REALLY WANTED TO SET UP A

591
00:24:47,485 --> 00:24:49,688
SPECIAL GROUP TO LOOK AT WOMEN

592
00:24:49,754 --> 00:24:51,523
OF COLOR, AND THEIR CAREERS AND

593
00:24:51,590 --> 00:24:53,859
WHAT NIH NEEDED TO DO OR SHOULD

594
00:24:53,925 --> 00:24:55,393
BE DOING TO BETTER ENHANCE AND

595
00:24:55,460 --> 00:24:57,462
SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT OF WOMEN

596
00:24:57,529 --> 00:24:58,797
OF COLOR.

597
00:24:58,864 --> 00:25:02,167
SO, WITHIN OUR COMMITTEE ON

598
00:25:02,234 --> 00:25:04,469
WOMEN IN BIOMEDICAL CAREERS, I

599
00:25:04,536 --> 00:25:05,704
ASKED DR. TAYLOR HARDEN IF SHE

600
00:25:05,770 --> 00:25:08,340
WOULD CHAIR A SUBGROUP FOR US ON

601
00:25:08,406 --> 00:25:09,574
WOMEN OF COLOR.

602
00:25:09,641 --> 00:25:11,643
AND I HATE TO TELL YOU, I GUESS

603
00:25:11,710 --> 00:25:18,950
THIS IS WHAT THE SIGN OF THE

604
00:25:19,017 --> 00:25:21,386
TIMES WAS, THIS WAS LATE '90s,

605
00:25:21,453 --> 00:25:22,053
ABOUT 2000.

606
00:25:22,120 --> 00:25:24,890
SO, WHEN WE PRESENTED THIS TO

607
00:25:24,956 --> 00:25:26,658
THE COMMITTEE, WE DIDN'T GET

608
00:25:26,725 --> 00:25:28,426
DISCUSSIONS OF WHY WAS THIS

609
00:25:28,493 --> 00:25:30,595
IMPORTANT, WHY DID WE NEED TO DO

610
00:25:30,662 --> 00:25:30,795
THAT.

611
00:25:30,862 --> 00:25:32,130
IT WAS, WHY ARE YOU GOING TO

612
00:25:32,197 --> 00:25:33,865
CALL THEM PEOPLE OF COLOR?

613
00:25:33,932 --> 00:25:35,333
HOW WILL THEY KNOW IF THEY ARE A

614
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:37,068
PERSON OF COLOR OR NOT?

615
00:25:37,135 --> 00:25:41,239
AND WE HAD THIS WHOLE MEETING,

616
00:25:41,306 --> 00:25:42,774
JUST WENT ON THE TACK OF WHY ARE

617
00:25:42,841 --> 00:25:44,843
YOU GOING TO LABEL IT PEOPLE OF

618
00:25:44,910 --> 00:25:45,277
COLOR?

619
00:25:45,343 --> 00:25:46,711
WON'T THAT BE INSULTS?

620
00:25:46,778 --> 00:25:49,447
I FINALLY JUST SAID, WE OF COLOR

621
00:25:49,514 --> 00:25:51,416
WILL KNOW WE ARE OF COLOR AND

622
00:25:51,483 --> 00:25:52,951
LET'S GO FORWARD.

623
00:25:53,018 --> 00:25:55,687
TAYLOR LED THAT.

624
00:25:55,754 --> 00:25:58,123
I THINK THAT COMMITTEE HAS

625
00:25:58,189 --> 00:25:58,390
CONTINUED.

626
00:25:58,456 --> 00:25:59,424
MARIE BERNARD HEADED THAT.

627
00:25:59,491 --> 00:26:00,959
I'M NOT SURE IF SHE'S STILL

628
00:26:01,026 --> 00:26:02,460
DOING THAT NOW BUT LOOKING FOR

629
00:26:02,527 --> 00:26:03,895
ISSUES OF WOMEN OF COLOR FOR ME

630
00:26:03,962 --> 00:26:06,865
WAS VERY IMPORTANT TO MAKE SURE

631
00:26:06,932 --> 00:26:09,334
THAT THERE WERE WAS ATTENTION TO

632
00:26:09,401 --> 00:26:11,336
DIVERSITY OF WOMEN IN ALL OF THE

633
00:26:11,403 --> 00:26:12,537
PROGRAMS OF THE OFFICE OF

634
00:26:12,604 --> 00:26:14,306
RESEARCH ON WOMEN'S HEALTH.

635
00:26:14,372 --> 00:26:17,809
I WON'T GO INTO MORE THINGS BUT

636
00:26:17,876 --> 00:26:19,778
I WANTED TO POINT OUT WHAT YOU

637
00:26:19,844 --> 00:26:21,546
SEE BEFORE US, EACH OF US HAVE

638
00:26:21,613 --> 00:26:23,081
OUR OWN CAREERS, OUR OWN

639
00:26:23,148 --> 00:26:23,515
CHALLENGES.

640
00:26:23,581 --> 00:26:24,616
WE HAD OUR OWN WAYS OF DEALING

641
00:26:24,683 --> 00:26:25,684
WITH THEM.

642
00:26:25,750 --> 00:26:27,886
BUT TO ME, THE GREATEST BENEFIT

643
00:26:27,953 --> 00:26:30,622
WE HAD WAS THAT WE EACH KIND OF

644
00:26:30,689 --> 00:26:32,190
SUPPORTED EACH OTHER.

645
00:26:32,257 --> 00:26:33,692
AND WE LOOKED UP TO THE

646
00:26:33,758 --> 00:26:34,893
ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF OTHERS AND

647
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:35,727
THAT HELPED US.

648
00:26:35,794 --> 00:26:37,629
AND WE NEEDED TO DO THE SAME

649
00:26:37,696 --> 00:26:39,164
THING IN BRINGING OTHERS ON

650
00:26:39,230 --> 00:26:40,699
BOARD BECAUSE IF WE DIDN'T REACH

651
00:26:40,765 --> 00:26:42,334
DOWN AND HELP THOSE WHO WERE

652
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:43,935
COMING TO BE ABLE TO BE

653
00:26:44,002 --> 00:26:45,603
SUCCESSFUL IN WHAT THEY WERE

654
00:26:45,670 --> 00:26:48,440
DOING, ESPECIALLY IN THE EARLY

655
00:26:48,506 --> 00:26:51,309
YEARS, THAT I THINK WE WOULD NOT

656
00:26:51,376 --> 00:26:52,978
HAVE THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS THAT

657
00:26:53,044 --> 00:26:55,246
DR. STINSON POINTED OUT.

658
00:26:55,313 --> 00:26:57,215
SOMETIMES I WONDER HOW DEEP

659
00:26:57,282 --> 00:26:58,116
THOSE ACCOMPLISHMENTS GO IN

660
00:26:58,183 --> 00:27:00,118
SEEING SOME OF THE THINGS.

661
00:27:00,185 --> 00:27:06,124
I'M REALLY DELIGHTED TO SEE HOW

662
00:27:06,191 --> 00:27:07,225
YOUR INSTITUTE DEVELOPED

663
00:27:07,292 --> 00:27:07,926
RESEARCH PROGRAMS, GOTTEN

664
00:27:07,993 --> 00:27:09,060
ADDITIONAL FUNDING.

665
00:27:09,127 --> 00:27:12,263
THAT IS COMING A LONG WAY, I'M

666
00:27:12,330 --> 00:27:13,465
SURE YOU REMEMBER WHEN THEY DID

667
00:27:13,531 --> 00:27:15,633
NOT WANT US TO HAVE AN INSTITUTE

668
00:27:15,700 --> 00:27:20,939
LOOKING AT HEALTH DISPARITIES OR

669
00:27:21,006 --> 00:27:21,573
SO-CALLED MINORITIES.

670
00:27:21,639 --> 00:27:22,674
THERE ARE LITTLE THINGS THAT

671
00:27:22,741 --> 00:27:24,442
STILL HAPPEN AT NIH THAT I HEAR

672
00:27:24,509 --> 00:27:25,944
ABOUT THAT BOTHER ME.

673
00:27:26,011 --> 00:27:27,712
ONE LAST THING I WON'T GO ON

674
00:27:27,779 --> 00:27:29,481
BECAUSE I THINK WE'VE USED UP SO

675
00:27:29,547 --> 00:27:30,582
MUCH TIME ON QUESTION NUMBER

676
00:27:30,648 --> 00:27:32,884
ONE, BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT

677
00:27:32,951 --> 00:27:36,121
WAS MOST DISTURBING TO ME WAS,

678
00:27:36,187 --> 00:27:38,023
AND I THINK I'VE SEEN DR. OWENS

679
00:27:38,089 --> 00:27:40,425
IN THE AUDIENCE, I'M SURE HE CAN

680
00:27:40,492 --> 00:27:42,761
RELATE TO THIS, WHEN I FIRST

681
00:27:42,827 --> 00:27:47,999
CAME TO NIH THERE WERE  A NUMBER

682
00:27:48,066 --> 00:27:50,101
OF PEOPLE OF COLOR, GUYS AND

683
00:27:50,168 --> 00:27:51,503
GALS OF COLOR, SCIENTISTS IN THE

684
00:27:51,569 --> 00:27:52,504
INTRAMURAL COMMUNITY.

685
00:27:52,570 --> 00:27:56,007
AND WHO WERE AIMING TO BECOME

686
00:27:56,074 --> 00:27:56,274
TENURED.

687
00:27:56,341 --> 00:27:59,377
AND I SAW MANY LEAVE FOR GREAT

688
00:27:59,444 --> 00:28:00,378
ACADEMIC APPOINTMENTS ELSEWHERE

689
00:28:00,445 --> 00:28:02,180
BUT WONDERED WHY WE COULDN'T

690
00:28:02,247 --> 00:28:03,448
KEEP THEM AT THE NIH.

691
00:28:03,515 --> 00:28:06,251
GLAD THEY GOT THE EXPERIENCE AND

692
00:28:06,317 --> 00:28:08,586
GOT THE CREDENTIALS OF THE NIH

693
00:28:08,653 --> 00:28:09,788
BUT I THOUGHT WE LOST MORE THAN

694
00:28:09,854 --> 00:28:10,755
WE NEEDED TO.

695
00:28:10,822 --> 00:28:12,957
I WAS SORT OF FRUSTRATED BECAUSE

696
00:28:13,024 --> 00:28:14,759
MANY OF THEM WOULD COME, I WAS

697
00:28:14,826 --> 00:28:19,731
NEW TO CAMPUS, A LITTLE MORE

698
00:28:19,798 --> 00:28:25,236
OUTSPOKEN BECAUSE I WASN'T

699
00:28:25,303 --> 00:28:26,971
WORRIED, IF I WAS FIRED WOULD

700
00:28:27,038 --> 00:28:27,739
FIND ANOTHER JOB.

701
00:28:27,806 --> 00:28:28,940
PEOPLE TALKED ABOUT THEIR

702
00:28:29,007 --> 00:28:29,240
EXPERIENCES.

703
00:28:29,307 --> 00:28:31,776
I WOULD TRY TO DO WHAT I COULD

704
00:28:31,843 --> 00:28:33,078
TO HELP THEM.

705
00:28:33,144 --> 00:28:34,746
ROLAND WAS INVOLVED IN A LOT OF

706
00:28:34,813 --> 00:28:39,017
THIS IN THOSE DAYS.

707
00:28:39,084 --> 00:28:40,852
HE CAN SPEAK FOR HIMSELF BUT FOR

708
00:28:40,919 --> 00:28:42,587
ME IT WAS DISCOURAGING TO NOT

709
00:28:42,654 --> 00:28:44,456
SEE ACTUAL INCREASE IN NUMBER OF

710
00:28:44,522 --> 00:28:48,526
SCIENTISTS OF COLOR WHO WENT ON

711
00:28:48,593 --> 00:28:50,595
TO BECOME TENURED FACULTY HERE,

712
00:28:50,662 --> 00:28:51,396
TENURED SCIENTISTS HERE AT THE

713
00:28:51,463 --> 00:28:51,796
NIH.

714
00:28:51,863 --> 00:28:53,998
THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS

715
00:28:54,065 --> 00:28:54,866
DISCOURAGING.

716
00:28:54,933 --> 00:28:56,301
BUT OVERALL MY EXPERIENCES AT

717
00:28:56,367 --> 00:29:00,105
NIH WERE FABULOUS.

718
00:29:00,171 --> 00:29:01,840
I WOULDN'T HAVE GIVEN ANYTHING

719
00:29:01,906 --> 00:29:03,875
TO HAVE HAD THIS OPPORTUNITY.

720
00:29:03,942 --> 00:29:04,642
I'LL STOP THERE.

721
00:29:04,709 --> 00:29:06,711
I THINK I JUST TOUCHED ON A

722
00:29:06,778 --> 00:29:09,647
BUNCH OF STUFF RAMBLING BUT

723
00:29:09,714 --> 00:29:11,950
THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOUR

724
00:29:12,016 --> 00:29:13,051
LAST AND OLDEST.

725
00:29:13,118 --> 00:29:15,787
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH, DR. PINN.

726
00:29:15,854 --> 00:29:18,423
EACH OF YOU HAVE DEFINITELY

727
00:29:18,490 --> 00:29:20,158
CONTRIBUTED TO THE PROGRESS WE

728
00:29:20,225 --> 00:29:21,826
HAVE CURRENTLY MADE AND WHERE WE

729
00:29:21,893 --> 00:29:21,993
ARE.

730
00:29:22,060 --> 00:29:24,462
SO WE REALLY THANK YOU FOR THAT.

731
00:29:24,529 --> 00:29:27,732
AND IT SEEMS THAT IT'S BEEN

732
00:29:27,799 --> 00:29:30,802
DIFFERENT AREAS OF IMPACT.

733
00:29:30,869 --> 00:29:33,104
SO AS WE ARE LOOKING AT THAT,

734
00:29:33,171 --> 00:29:36,174
AND HOW YOU GOT TO THOSE POINTS

735
00:29:36,241 --> 00:29:39,344
AT NIH, WE WANT TO TRANSITION TO

736
00:29:39,410 --> 00:29:41,546
THE ROLE OF THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT

737
00:29:41,613 --> 00:29:43,414
BECAUSE WE ARE 60 YEARS LATER

738
00:29:43,481 --> 00:29:46,351
FROM THAT ERA, AND AS WE THINK

739
00:29:46,417 --> 00:29:48,953
ABOUT THAT, HOW DID, AS YOU

740
00:29:49,020 --> 00:29:52,056
TRANSITION THE CIVIL RIGHTS ERA,

741
00:29:52,123 --> 00:29:53,925
THAT IMPACT YOU, YOUR JOURNEY,

742
00:29:53,992 --> 00:29:57,495
AND HOW DO YOU THINK IT OPENED

743
00:29:57,562 --> 00:29:58,530
OPPORTUNITIES FOR BLACKS IN

744
00:29:58,596 --> 00:30:03,401
SCIENCE AND MEDICINE?

745
00:30:03,468 --> 00:30:08,439
DR. OLDEN?

746
00:30:09,841 --> 00:30:11,976
>> WELL, CLEARLY CIVIL RIGHTS

747
00:30:12,043 --> 00:30:20,084
MOVEMENT HAD A HUGE IMPACT ON

748
00:30:20,151 --> 00:30:27,091
MANY PROGRAMS THAT BENEFITED US.

749
00:30:27,158 --> 00:30:31,462
AND I WAS AT THAT POINT IN

750
00:30:31,529 --> 00:30:34,866
GRADUATE SCHOOL, AND THINKING

751
00:30:34,933 --> 00:30:38,670
ABOUT A POSTDOCTORAL WORK.

752
00:30:38,736 --> 00:30:43,374
AND I THINK THOUGH THAT MOST OF

753
00:30:43,441 --> 00:30:44,375
THE IMPROVEMENTS, ADVANCEMENTS

754
00:30:44,442 --> 00:30:50,481
THAT WERE MADE OVER THE YEARS,

755
00:30:50,548 --> 00:30:52,116
HAVE -- INSTITUTIONS DID SOME,

756
00:30:52,183 --> 00:30:55,853
BUT I THINK MOST OF THE CHANGE

757
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:57,355
THAT HAPPENED AT INSTITUTIONS

758
00:30:57,422 --> 00:31:03,661
HAPPENED BECAUSE THERE WAS

759
00:31:03,728 --> 00:31:06,931
SOMEONE THERE, SOME BODIES

760
00:31:06,998 --> 00:31:09,867
THERE, WHO WERE COMMITTED TO

761
00:31:09,934 --> 00:31:11,869
INCLUSION AND DIVERSITY, AND IT

762
00:31:11,936 --> 00:31:15,273
WASN'T NOT SO MUCH THE

763
00:31:15,340 --> 00:31:18,443
INSTITUTIONAL COMMITMENT BUT

764
00:31:18,509 --> 00:31:19,744
THERE WERE INDIVIDUALS WHO

765
00:31:19,811 --> 00:31:21,045
UNDERSTOOD WHAT THE STRUGGLE WAS

766
00:31:21,112 --> 00:31:22,814
ALL ABOUT.

767
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:25,316
AND THOSE INDIVIDUALS, AS I

768
00:31:25,383 --> 00:31:28,386
THINK BACK, WERE THE ONES THAT

769
00:31:28,453 --> 00:31:30,088
MADE THINGS HAPPEN.

770
00:31:30,154 --> 00:31:33,024
WHEN I APPLIED FOR A

771
00:31:33,091 --> 00:31:37,629
POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP TO

772
00:31:37,695 --> 00:31:38,496
HARVARD, IN PHYSIOLOGY

773
00:31:38,563 --> 00:31:40,198
DEPARTMENT, THE PERSON I WROTE

774
00:31:40,265 --> 00:31:43,635
TO WAS -- AGREED I SHOULD COME.

775
00:31:43,701 --> 00:31:48,106
BUT ONCE I GOT THERE I

776
00:31:48,172 --> 00:31:51,175
DISCOVERED THAT THE INSTITUTION

777
00:31:51,242 --> 00:31:53,711
HAD ALSO ADMITTED THE FIRST TIME

778
00:31:53,778 --> 00:31:58,549
20 AFRICAN AMERICAN STUDENTS IN

779
00:31:58,616 --> 00:32:01,686
THE SCHOOL OF MEDICINE.

780
00:32:01,753 --> 00:32:02,754
NOW, IN PHYSIOLOGY DEPARTMENT,

781
00:32:02,820 --> 00:32:05,256
THERE ENDED UP BEING THREE OF

782
00:32:05,323 --> 00:32:08,593
US, AND IT WAS MOSTLY DUE TO TWO

783
00:32:08,660 --> 00:32:09,761
PEOPLE IN THAT DEPARTMENT.

784
00:32:09,827 --> 00:32:17,669
AND ALMOST NONE OF THE OTHER

785
00:32:17,735 --> 00:32:20,405
DEPARTMENTS HAD ANYONE THAT

786
00:32:20,471 --> 00:32:21,806
WAS -- I REALIZED, I THINK

787
00:32:21,873 --> 00:32:22,940
THAT'S STILL THE CASE TODAY.

788
00:32:23,007 --> 00:32:28,046
I LOOK AT MY FRIENDS WHO ARE IN

789
00:32:28,112 --> 00:32:29,814
BUSINESS AND OTHER PROFESSIONS,

790
00:32:29,881 --> 00:32:37,055
AND YOU CAN ALMOST IN EVERY CASE

791
00:32:37,121 --> 00:32:43,127
IDENTIFY AN INDIVIDUAL WHO

792
00:32:43,194 --> 00:32:45,697
UNDERSTOOD THE STRUGGLES AND

793
00:32:45,763 --> 00:32:55,840
EQUAL OPPORTUNITY HAD NOT BEEN

794
00:32:55,907 --> 00:32:57,608
COMMON, IN AMERICA.

795
00:32:57,675 --> 00:33:00,578
AND SO, YES, THE NIH WAS

796
00:33:00,645 --> 00:33:03,081
IMPORTANT IN MY LIFE.

797
00:33:03,147 --> 00:33:07,452
I HAD A GOOD -- GREAT

798
00:33:07,518 --> 00:33:08,753
OPPORTUNITIES HERE.

799
00:33:08,820 --> 00:33:12,156
BUT I THINK IT WAS PEOPLE

800
00:33:12,223 --> 00:33:22,700
LIKE -- I CAN SAY HER NAME,

801
00:33:27,171 --> 00:33:28,373
RUTH KIRSHSTEIN AND AL PASTAN, I

802
00:33:28,439 --> 00:33:32,610
DIDN'T WRITE TO THE DIRECTOR OF

803
00:33:32,677 --> 00:33:35,480
THE NIH, IRA PASSTON TOOK ME

804
00:33:35,546 --> 00:33:40,084
INTO HIS LABORATORY.

805
00:33:40,151 --> 00:33:42,186
AFTER THREE YEARS PROMOTED ME TO

806
00:33:42,253 --> 00:33:43,888
TENURE WITH MY OWN RESOURCES,

807
00:33:43,955 --> 00:33:46,324
I'M PRETTY SURE THAT WAS THE

808
00:33:46,391 --> 00:33:48,126
FIRST AFRICAN AMERICAN TO BE

809
00:33:48,192 --> 00:33:53,464
PROMOTED TO TENURE AS A

810
00:33:53,531 --> 00:34:00,405
RESEARCHER IN THE NIH.

811
00:34:00,471 --> 00:34:01,973
THAT WAS 1977.

812
00:34:02,039 --> 00:34:02,240
[APPLAUSE]

813
00:34:02,306 --> 00:34:05,576
SO I THINK IT WOULDN'T HAVE

814
00:34:05,643 --> 00:34:13,117
HAPPENED PROBABLY WITHOUT IRA

815
00:34:13,184 --> 00:34:16,087
PASTAN, RUTH KIRSHSTEIN AND AL

816
00:34:16,154 --> 00:34:16,320
RAPTON.

817
00:34:16,387 --> 00:34:20,558
WHEN I WAS HERE I PUBLISHED WHO

818
00:34:20,625 --> 00:34:25,363
OF MY CITED PAPERS IN 1978 THAT

819
00:34:25,430 --> 00:34:27,131
BECAME CITATION CLASSICS.

820
00:34:27,198 --> 00:34:30,168
I DID WHAT I KNEW I COULD DO,

821
00:34:30,234 --> 00:34:35,006
AND THEY EXPECTED ME TO DO.

822
00:34:35,072 --> 00:34:39,577
SO, I THINK THOUGH IN MY LIFE,

823
00:34:39,644 --> 00:34:41,779
IT HAS BEEN INDIVIDUALS THAT

824
00:34:41,846 --> 00:34:42,747
HAVE MADE THE DIFFERENCE.

825
00:34:42,814 --> 00:34:44,982
I HOPE WE'LL GET TO A QUESTION I

826
00:34:45,049 --> 00:34:47,251
CAN SPEAK TO MY TIME AT THE

827
00:34:47,318 --> 00:34:48,786
UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE AS AN

828
00:34:48,853 --> 00:34:50,822
UNDERGRADUATE, AND THAT WAS THE

829
00:34:50,888 --> 00:34:52,123
CASE THERE AS WELL.

830
00:34:52,190 --> 00:34:54,792
IT WAS A PERSON, ONE PERSON, WHO

831
00:34:54,859 --> 00:34:56,594
REALLY WANTED TO MAKE A

832
00:34:56,661 --> 00:34:56,928
DIFFERENCE.

833
00:34:56,994 --> 00:35:04,101
HE WENT OUT OF HIS WAY TO MAKE

834
00:35:04,168 --> 00:35:06,571
SURE THAT PERSONS, INCLUSION AND

835
00:35:06,637 --> 00:35:07,538
DIVERSITY WAS A REALITY.

836
00:35:07,605 --> 00:35:12,877
I'LL  STOP THERE.

837
00:35:12,944 --> 00:35:13,644
>> YOU'RE WELCOME TO CONTINUE

838
00:35:13,711 --> 00:35:16,380
YOUR STORY IF IT'S RELEVANT TO

839
00:35:16,447 --> 00:35:16,814
THIS.

840
00:35:16,881 --> 00:35:18,783
FEEL FREE.

841
00:35:18,850 --> 00:35:20,651
>> WELL, I WAS UNDERGRADUATE

842
00:35:20,718 --> 00:35:29,494
STUDENT AT HISTORICAL BLACK

843
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:32,263
COLLEGE, KNOXVILLE, TENNESSEE.

844
00:35:32,330 --> 00:35:33,130
I'M A TENNESSEAN.

845
00:35:33,197 --> 00:35:35,566
RURAL AREA, VERY POOR.

846
00:35:35,633 --> 00:35:38,236
MY LAST YEAR IN COLLEGE I HAD AN

847
00:35:38,302 --> 00:35:41,038
OPPORTUNITY TO GO TO THE

848
00:35:41,105 --> 00:35:44,075
UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE TO DO

849
00:35:44,141 --> 00:35:44,408
RESEARCH.

850
00:35:44,475 --> 00:35:49,113
AND ONE PERSON MADE THAT HAPPEN

851
00:35:49,180 --> 00:35:50,815
NAMED ARTHUR JONES, CAUCASIAN

852
00:35:50,882 --> 00:35:54,051
FELLOW, PROFESSOR AT THE

853
00:35:54,118 --> 00:35:54,719
UNIVERSITY.

854
00:35:54,785 --> 00:36:01,058
AND HE TOOK ME AND AN AFRICAN

855
00:36:01,125 --> 00:36:02,226
AMERICAN WOMAN FROM KNOXVILLE

856
00:36:02,293 --> 00:36:03,094
COLLEGE INTO HIS LABORATORY.

857
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:06,397
I WAS GOING TO GO TO MEDICAL

858
00:36:06,464 --> 00:36:08,499
SCHOOL, PRE-MED, SENIOR YEAR.

859
00:36:08,566 --> 00:36:10,268
I DECIDED THOUGH AFTER DOING

860
00:36:10,334 --> 00:36:11,469
RESEARCH IN HIS LABORATORY I WAS

861
00:36:11,536 --> 00:36:13,638
EXCITED ABOUT THE WORK.

862
00:36:13,704 --> 00:36:16,507
IT WAS INTERESTING, AND I

863
00:36:16,574 --> 00:36:17,708
REALIZED AS AN AFRICAN AMERICAN

864
00:36:17,775 --> 00:36:21,746
I CAN MAKE A MORE IMPORTANT

865
00:36:21,812 --> 00:36:23,381
CONTRIBUTION AS A RESEARCHER.

866
00:36:23,447 --> 00:36:27,418
SO I SAID I'M GOING TO BECOME A

867
00:36:27,485 --> 00:36:28,085
NATIONALLY COMPETITIVE

868
00:36:28,152 --> 00:36:28,386
RESEARCHER.

869
00:36:28,452 --> 00:36:29,720
AND THERE ARE A LOT OF PROBLEMS

870
00:36:29,787 --> 00:36:32,690
THAT ARE NOT BEING ADDRESSED

871
00:36:32,757 --> 00:36:36,961
THAT I CAN CONTRIBUTE TOWARD.

872
00:36:37,028 --> 00:36:40,765
SO, I MADE IT -- I CHANGED MY

873
00:36:40,831 --> 00:36:42,433
GOALS AND DECIDED TO GO.

874
00:36:42,500 --> 00:36:46,370
BUT IT WAS THAT PIVOTAL -- THAT

875
00:36:46,437 --> 00:36:49,006
EXPERIENCE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF

876
00:36:49,073 --> 00:36:51,175
TENNESSEE THAT MADE ALL THE

877
00:36:51,242 --> 00:36:53,144
DIFFERENCE IN MY LIFE, ALL THE

878
00:36:53,210 --> 00:36:56,681
DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD IN MY

879
00:36:56,747 --> 00:36:57,048
LIFE.

880
00:36:57,114 --> 00:36:59,050
I'VE ENJOYED RESEARCH, AND I'VE

881
00:36:59,116 --> 00:37:00,585
DONE WELL IN IT.

882
00:37:00,651 --> 00:37:03,454
AND I WAS HAPPY THAT TO END UP

883
00:37:03,521 --> 00:37:04,956
AS DIRECTOR OF AN INSTITUTE HERE

884
00:37:05,022 --> 00:37:06,557
AT THE NIH.

885
00:37:06,624 --> 00:37:09,594
THANK YOU.

886
00:37:09,660 --> 00:37:15,600
>> THANK YOU, DR. OLDEN.

887
00:37:15,666 --> 00:37:16,500
DR. HARDEN?

888
00:37:16,567 --> 00:37:17,535
>> BEFORE I ADDRESS THE QUESTION

889
00:37:17,602 --> 00:37:19,537
RELATED TO CIVIL RIGHTS I WANT

890
00:37:19,604 --> 00:37:20,972
TO JUST ACKNOWLEDGE ANOTHER

891
00:37:21,038 --> 00:37:23,774
SCIENTIST THAT IS CURRENTLY HERE

892
00:37:23,841 --> 00:37:24,976
AT THE NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF

893
00:37:25,042 --> 00:37:26,243
HEALTH AT THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE

894
00:37:26,310 --> 00:37:31,148
ON AGING.

895
00:37:31,215 --> 00:37:34,919
HER NAME IS DR. SARESE ELLIOTT,

896
00:37:34,986 --> 00:37:36,954
HELPED TO ESTABLISH THAT WOMEN

897
00:37:37,021 --> 00:37:39,657
OF COLOR RESEARCH NETWORK THAT

898
00:37:39,724 --> 00:37:41,325
CONTINUES TO GO FORWARD AND

899
00:37:41,392 --> 00:37:46,030
ACTUALLY IT'S IN PARTNERSHIP,

900
00:37:46,097 --> 00:37:47,231
AND I DEFINITELY WANTED HER TO

901
00:37:47,298 --> 00:37:50,735
BE  RECOGNIZED FOR HER EFFORTS

902
00:37:50,801 --> 00:37:52,370
THAT CONTINUE TO THIS VERY DAY

903
00:37:52,436 --> 00:37:53,404
ADVANCING THAT NETWORK.

904
00:37:53,471 --> 00:37:57,074
IT WAS AN EFFORT TO BRING

905
00:37:57,141 --> 00:37:58,509
INTRAMURAL AND EXTRAMURAL

906
00:37:58,576 --> 00:37:59,310
SCIENTISTS TOGETHER FOR THE

907
00:37:59,377 --> 00:38:01,145
WOMEN THAT ARE SCIENTISTS AND

908
00:38:01,212 --> 00:38:03,648
THE MEN THAT CARE ABOUT WOMEN

909
00:38:03,714 --> 00:38:04,749
THAT ARE SCIENTISTS.

910
00:38:04,815 --> 00:38:06,384
IF YOU CARE, GO ON THE NIH

911
00:38:06,450 --> 00:38:09,553
WEBSITE AND LOOK FOR THE WOMEN

912
00:38:09,620 --> 00:38:10,788
OF COLOR RESEARCH NETWORK, AND

913
00:38:10,855 --> 00:38:13,290
YOU'LL SEE THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF

914
00:38:13,357 --> 00:38:16,060
WOMEN, THOUSANDS, THAT ARE

915
00:38:16,127 --> 00:38:18,229
CONNECTING ACROSS OUR NATION

916
00:38:18,295 --> 00:38:19,664
THAT CONSUME THE VERY PRODUCTS

917
00:38:19,730 --> 00:38:22,833
THAT ARE PRODUCED HERE AT THE

918
00:38:22,900 --> 00:38:23,334
NIH.

919
00:38:23,401 --> 00:38:26,003
SO, BACK TO THE QUESTION RELATED

920
00:38:26,070 --> 00:38:30,875
TO CIVIL RIGHTS.

921
00:38:30,941 --> 00:38:34,245
SO, I WAS IN 1964 HIGH SCHOOLER,

922
00:38:34,311 --> 00:38:37,181
LARGE AFRO, IF YOU CAN IMAGINE,

923
00:38:37,248 --> 00:38:39,417
THAT WAS THE TIME.

924
00:38:39,483 --> 00:38:41,352
THAT WAS THE CULTURE.

925
00:38:41,419 --> 00:38:44,155
PROTEST WAS ON OUR MIND.

926
00:38:44,288 --> 00:38:47,491
HAD WITNESSED A LOT OF THE

927
00:38:47,558 --> 00:38:48,926
DESTRUCTION AND RIOTS THAT

928
00:38:48,993 --> 00:38:52,296
OCCURRED IN THIS AREA.

929
00:38:52,363 --> 00:38:55,066
NATIVE VIRGINIAN, GREW UP IN

930
00:38:55,132 --> 00:38:55,666
WASHINGTON, D.C.

931
00:38:55,733 --> 00:39:01,372
PRODUCT OF A HIGH SCHOOL THAT AT

932
00:39:01,439 --> 00:39:03,574
THE TIME WAS A COMPETITIVE -- IT

933
00:39:03,641 --> 00:39:05,276
WAS A MAGNET SCHOOL, DIDN'T HAVE

934
00:39:05,342 --> 00:39:06,977
THAT DESIGNATION BUT IT WAS A

935
00:39:07,044 --> 00:39:08,713
MAGNET SCHOOL.

936
00:39:08,779 --> 00:39:14,085
IT WAS CALLED THE WILLIAM

937
00:39:14,151 --> 00:39:16,454
MCKINLEY TECH, TECHNOLOGICAL

938
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:17,555
HIGH SCHOOL.

939
00:39:17,621 --> 00:39:22,293
AND IT WAS MY SECOND EXPOSURE TO

940
00:39:22,359 --> 00:39:24,128
TEACHERS THAT DID NOT LOOK LIKE

941
00:39:24,195 --> 00:39:24,361
ME.

942
00:39:24,428 --> 00:39:28,199
I HAD GONE TO A PRETTY MUCH

943
00:39:28,265 --> 00:39:29,867
SEGREGATED AND SEPARATED MIDDLE

944
00:39:29,934 --> 00:39:32,636
SCHOOL WITH ALL AFRICAN AMERICAN

945
00:39:32,703 --> 00:39:37,174
TEACHERS, BUT MY HIGH SCHOOL WAS

946
00:39:37,241 --> 00:39:39,910
I THINK FORTUNATE TO HAVE REAL

947
00:39:39,977 --> 00:39:42,346
DIVERSITY IN THE TEACHING RANKS,

948
00:39:42,413 --> 00:39:45,182
DIVERSITY IN TERMS OF THE

949
00:39:45,249 --> 00:39:46,584
SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY EXPERTISE

950
00:39:46,650 --> 00:39:47,785
AT THAT HIGH SCHOOL.

951
00:39:47,852 --> 00:39:51,956
SO, I WAS HAPPY ABOUT THAT.

952
00:39:52,022 --> 00:39:54,158
BUT, AGAIN, THAT RECKLESSNESS IN

953
00:39:54,225 --> 00:39:54,825
KNOWING THAT THE CIVIL RIGHTS

954
00:39:54,892 --> 00:39:57,995
ACT HAD BEEN PASSED IN 1964, YOU

955
00:39:58,062 --> 00:39:59,764
HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THE HISTORY

956
00:39:59,830 --> 00:40:02,032
AND THE FIGHT AND THE STRUGGLE

957
00:40:02,099 --> 00:40:04,902
TO GET THAT ACT PASSED.

958
00:40:04,969 --> 00:40:07,872
AND WHAT IT DID FOR OUR NATION,

959
00:40:07,938 --> 00:40:13,344
WHAT IT DID FOR ME, WAS TO HELP

960
00:40:13,410 --> 00:40:17,248
CONTROL, HELP TO SLOW SOME OF

961
00:40:17,314 --> 00:40:19,817
THE OBSTACLES AND BARRIERS

962
00:40:19,884 --> 00:40:21,886
RELATED TO SOCIAL ENGINEERING.

963
00:40:21,952 --> 00:40:25,256
BY THAT, I MEAN AT THE TIME OUR

964
00:40:25,322 --> 00:40:26,690
COUNTRY TRIED -- I'M GOING BACK

965
00:40:26,757 --> 00:40:32,830
TO THIS THEME OVER AND OVER

966
00:40:32,897 --> 00:40:33,664
AGAIN, DISCRIMINATION,

967
00:40:33,731 --> 00:40:35,900
SEPARATION, AND SEGREGATION.

968
00:40:35,966 --> 00:40:39,303
SO I SAID MY MIDDLE SCHOOL WAS

969
00:40:39,370 --> 00:40:40,171
PREDOMINANTLY AFRICAN AMERICAN

970
00:40:40,237 --> 00:40:42,573
IN STUDENT POPULATION AND

971
00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:43,240
TEACHER POPULATION.

972
00:40:43,307 --> 00:40:45,009
THAT'S BECAUSE WE WERE IN A

973
00:40:45,075 --> 00:40:49,480
SEGREGATED AREA OF THE CITY,

974
00:40:49,547 --> 00:40:52,116
WHERE MOSTLY PEOPLE THAT LOOKED

975
00:40:52,183 --> 00:40:54,518
LIKE ME LIVED.

976
00:40:54,585 --> 00:40:55,553
IT WAS SEGREGATED IN TERMS OF

977
00:40:55,619 --> 00:40:58,989
WHEN YOU GOT ON THE PUBLIC

978
00:40:59,056 --> 00:41:02,393
TRANSPORTATION BUSES AT THE TIME

979
00:41:02,459 --> 00:41:03,260
DIDN'T HAVE SUBWAY THEN, THAT

980
00:41:03,327 --> 00:41:05,896
WAS THE ONLY WAY TO GET TO THE

981
00:41:05,963 --> 00:41:11,268
PART OF THE CITY, IF YOU WILL.

982
00:41:11,335 --> 00:41:12,703
THE MORE ESTABLISHED PART, THE

983
00:41:12,770 --> 00:41:14,205
PART WITH MORE RESOURCES.

984
00:41:14,271 --> 00:41:17,741
I WAS MENTIONING EARLIER TODAY

985
00:41:17,808 --> 00:41:20,110
EVEN TODAY THERE ARE PROBABLY

986
00:41:20,177 --> 00:41:24,949
CHILDREN IN THE SOUTHEAST SECTOR

987
00:41:25,015 --> 00:41:28,085
OF OUR NATION, OF THIS CITY, THE

988
00:41:28,152 --> 00:41:29,753
SOUTHEAST SECTOR OF WASHINGTON,

989
00:41:29,820 --> 00:41:32,289
D.C., THAT DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE

990
00:41:32,356 --> 00:41:34,024
NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH.

991
00:41:34,091 --> 00:41:35,459
THEY MAY HAVE RIDDEN BY AND

992
00:41:35,526 --> 00:41:37,094
THOUGHT, OH, THAT LOOKS LIKE A

993
00:41:37,161 --> 00:41:37,962
COLLEGE CAMPUS, I'VE SEEN THAT

994
00:41:38,028 --> 00:41:39,196
ON TV.

995
00:41:39,263 --> 00:41:45,636
BUT THEY DON'T REALLY, REALLY

996
00:41:45,703 --> 00:41:45,870
KNOW.

997
00:41:45,936 --> 00:41:49,607
SO, WHAT HAPPENED WITH THIS ACT,

998
00:41:49,673 --> 00:41:56,146
CIVIL RIGHTS AFTER  -- ACT OF

999
00:41:56,213 --> 00:41:57,815
1964, I OPENED DOORS OF

1000
00:41:57,882 --> 00:41:58,282
OPPORTUNITY.

1001
00:41:58,349 --> 00:41:59,316
I WEAR THE BADGE PROUDLY.

1002
00:41:59,383 --> 00:42:01,619
IF YOU TELL MY I'M AN

1003
00:42:01,685 --> 00:42:03,254
AFFIRMATIVE ACTION HIRE, OKAY,

1004
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:04,221
I'LL TAKE IT BECAUSE IT HAS LED

1005
00:42:04,288 --> 00:42:07,858
ME TO WHERE I AM TODAY.

1006
00:42:07,925 --> 00:42:10,728
CALL ME A DIVERSITY HIRE.

1007
00:42:10,794 --> 00:42:13,797
WHATEVER THE LABEL IS RELATED TO

1008
00:42:13,864 --> 00:42:16,300
THAT DOOR BEING OPENED, I WALKED

1009
00:42:16,367 --> 00:42:17,067
THROUGH THAT DOOR.

1010
00:42:17,134 --> 00:42:21,872
I WAS ABLE TO GO TO A GREAT HIGH

1011
00:42:21,939 --> 00:42:22,673
SCHOOL.

1012
00:42:22,740 --> 00:42:25,476
I WAS ADMITTED INTO A UNIVERSITY

1013
00:42:25,542 --> 00:42:28,112
THAT I PROBABLY WOULD NOT HAVE

1014
00:42:28,178 --> 00:42:28,712
NECESSARILY BEEN ADMITTED TO,

1015
00:42:28,779 --> 00:42:32,182
NOT THAT I DIDN'T HAVE THE

1016
00:42:32,249 --> 00:42:36,553
GRADES, BUT, AGAIN, REMEMBER

1017
00:42:36,620 --> 00:42:37,354
DISCRIMINATION, SEGREGATION,

1018
00:42:37,421 --> 00:42:37,888
SEPARATION.

1019
00:42:37,955 --> 00:42:39,924
SO I WAS ADMITTED TO THE

1020
00:42:39,990 --> 00:42:42,893
UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND, TO THE

1021
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:43,928
SCHOOL OF NURSING.

1022
00:42:43,994 --> 00:42:48,732
IT'S A COMPETITIVE PROGRAM.

1023
00:42:48,799 --> 00:42:52,436
YOU WOULD THINK THAT WITH OPEN

1024
00:42:52,503 --> 00:42:53,704
AND FAIR COMPETITION WHY WAS IT

1025
00:42:53,771 --> 00:42:57,041
THAT IN EACH OF THE CLASSES

1026
00:42:57,107 --> 00:42:59,443
BEFORE ME AND EVEN SUBSEQUENT

1027
00:42:59,510 --> 00:43:04,615
CLASSES AFTER ME, THERE WERE

1028
00:43:04,682 --> 00:43:06,350
ONLY TWO AFRICAN AMERICANS?

1029
00:43:06,417 --> 00:43:10,587
AGAIN, I GO BACK TO THOSE ISSUES

1030
00:43:10,654 --> 00:43:13,457
OF DISCRIMINATION, SEGREGATION,

1031
00:43:13,524 --> 00:43:16,727
AND SEPARATION.

1032
00:43:16,794 --> 00:43:20,998
A LEADER, MARY MCCLOUD BETHUNE,

1033
00:43:21,065 --> 00:43:23,968
SAID THERE CAN BE NO

1034
00:43:24,034 --> 00:43:26,136
DISCRIMINATION, NO SEGREGATION,

1035
00:43:26,203 --> 00:43:29,106
AND NO SEPARATION OF SOME OF THE

1036
00:43:29,173 --> 00:43:30,541
CITIZENS FROM THE RIGHTS THAT

1037
00:43:30,607 --> 00:43:32,176
ARE DUE TO ALL OF US.

1038
00:43:32,242 --> 00:43:35,579
AND I CONTINUED TO LIVE BY THAT

1039
00:43:35,646 --> 00:43:39,483
CREED SO I'M THANKFUL FOR THE

1040
00:43:39,550 --> 00:43:43,220
DOORS THAT WERE OPENED BY THE

1041
00:43:43,287 --> 00:43:45,856
CIVIL RIGHTS ACT OF 1964, AND AS

1042
00:43:45,923 --> 00:43:51,328
MARY MCCLOUD BETHUNE SAID, WE'RE

1043
00:43:51,395 --> 00:43:52,896
ON OUR WAY, AND WE ARE.

1044
00:43:52,963 --> 00:43:54,064
WE'VE MADE GREAT STRIDES.

1045
00:43:54,131 --> 00:43:55,733
WHEN YOU LOOK AROUND, AND FOR

1046
00:43:55,799 --> 00:43:58,435
THIS PERSON TO SIT HERE NOW AND

1047
00:43:58,502 --> 00:44:01,739
BE THE FIRST, WE HAVE TO ASK WHO

1048
00:44:01,805 --> 00:44:03,374
WAS THE SECOND INSTITUTE

1049
00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:04,341
DIRECTOR?

1050
00:44:04,408 --> 00:44:05,676
WHO WAS THE THIRD?

1051
00:44:05,743 --> 00:44:09,513
BUT THE QUESTION I ASK TO YOU,

1052
00:44:09,580 --> 00:44:12,049
DO WE KNOW WHO THE TENTH IS?

1053
00:44:12,116 --> 00:44:13,784
OR IS THAT SOMEBODY WHO IS OUT

1054
00:44:13,851 --> 00:44:21,658
THERE WAITING TO BE APPOINTED?

1055
00:44:21,725 --> 00:44:24,294
HAVE WE HAD TEN DIVERSE

1056
00:44:24,361 --> 00:44:25,596
DIRECTORS OF INSTITUTES?

1057
00:44:25,662 --> 00:44:28,999
NOT CENTERS, I'M TALKING ABOUT

1058
00:44:29,066 --> 00:44:29,700
INSTITUTES, HERE AT THE NATIONAL

1059
00:44:29,767 --> 00:44:31,435
INSTITUTES  NATIONAL INSTITUTES

1060
00:44:31,502 --> 00:44:32,069
OF HEALTH.

1061
00:44:32,136 --> 00:44:34,138
THERE'S MORE WORK TO BE DONE.

1062
00:44:34,204 --> 00:44:36,540
AND THE ONE THING I'M CONFIDENT

1063
00:44:36,607 --> 00:44:41,245
OF IS THAT HERE AT THE NATIONAL

1064
00:44:41,311 --> 00:44:46,183
INSTITUTES OF HEALTH, PEOPLE DO

1065
00:44:46,250 --> 00:44:46,383
CARE.

1066
00:44:46,450 --> 00:44:49,920
WE UNDERSTAND AS SCIENTISTS

1067
00:44:49,987 --> 00:44:52,990
COLLECTIVELY WHAT THE PROBLEM

1068
00:44:53,057 --> 00:44:53,724
IS.

1069
00:44:53,791 --> 00:44:56,693
WE FOLLOW THE RESEARCH PROCESS.

1070
00:44:56,760 --> 00:45:00,664
WE KNOW WHAT'S STATED IN THE

1071
00:45:00,731 --> 00:45:01,432
LITERATURE.

1072
00:45:01,498 --> 00:45:04,268
WE KNOW A METHODOLOGY TO HELP

1073
00:45:04,334 --> 00:45:09,840
CORRECT SOME OF THE PROBLEMS.

1074
00:45:09,907 --> 00:45:13,477
BUT WITHOUT LEGISLATION, WITHOUT

1075
00:45:13,544 --> 00:45:16,947
THE ONE, WITHOUT PEOPLE WHO ARE

1076
00:45:17,014 --> 00:45:19,583
COMMITTED TO MAKING A

1077
00:45:19,650 --> 00:45:22,319
DIFFERENCE, WE NEVER NECESSARILY

1078
00:45:22,386 --> 00:45:24,388
GET TO EXECUTE THOSE SOLUTIONS

1079
00:45:24,455 --> 00:45:27,257
THAT CAN WORK TO MAKE OUR NATION

1080
00:45:27,324 --> 00:45:29,760
EVEN GREATER.

1081
00:45:29,827 --> 00:45:32,596
SO, AGAIN, I APPLAUD LIKE DR.

1082
00:45:32,663 --> 00:45:35,899
PINN SAID, I WOULD NOT BE ON THE

1083
00:45:35,966 --> 00:45:38,402
STAGE WITHOUT HER INCLUDING ME

1084
00:45:38,469 --> 00:45:41,038
IN EFFORTS FROM THE OFFICE OF

1085
00:45:41,105 --> 00:45:42,973
RESEARCH ON WOMEN'S HEALTH.

1086
00:45:43,040 --> 00:45:45,409
SOME OF THOSE EFFORTS WERE

1087
00:45:45,476 --> 00:45:45,709
CHALLENGING.

1088
00:45:45,776 --> 00:45:48,112
AND I THANK HER FOR THOSE

1089
00:45:48,178 --> 00:45:50,347
ASSIGNMENTS BECAUSE I GREW.

1090
00:45:50,414 --> 00:45:51,882
I GREW IN WAYS THAT I DIDN'T

1091
00:45:51,949 --> 00:45:54,985
KNOW WAS POSSIBLE.

1092
00:45:55,052 --> 00:45:57,121
BUT YOU NEVER WANT TO

1093
00:45:57,187 --> 00:45:57,721
DISAPPOINT.

1094
00:45:57,788 --> 00:46:00,958
AND I THINK THAT'S BEEN PART OF

1095
00:46:01,024 --> 00:46:02,192
THE AFRICAN AMERICAN EXPERIENCE

1096
00:46:02,259 --> 00:46:03,494
FOR MANY OF US.

1097
00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:05,996
WHEN WE CAN LOOK AROUND AND SEE

1098
00:46:06,063 --> 00:46:07,531
THOSE THAT HAVE MENTORED US AND

1099
00:46:07,598 --> 00:46:09,633
MADE A DIFFERENCE IN OUR LIVES,

1100
00:46:09,700 --> 00:46:10,834
WE DON'T WANT TO DISAPPOINT.

1101
00:46:10,901 --> 00:46:13,904
WE WANT TO CONTINUE TO PUSH

1102
00:46:13,971 --> 00:46:14,872
THOSE BOUNDARIES FORWARD.

1103
00:46:14,938 --> 00:46:17,508
AND AS I SAID, I'M VERY GRATEFUL

1104
00:46:17,574 --> 00:46:20,077
FOR WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE

1105
00:46:20,144 --> 00:46:23,213
PASSAGE OF THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT

1106
00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:23,547
OF 1964.

1107
00:46:23,614 --> 00:46:24,314
I'LL STOP THERE.

1108
00:46:24,381 --> 00:46:30,654
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH, DR.

1109
00:46:30,721 --> 00:46:30,988
HARDEN.

1110
00:46:31,054 --> 00:46:33,390
NOW DR. STINSON AND THEN DR.

1111
00:46:33,457 --> 00:46:33,624
PINN.

1112
00:46:33,690 --> 00:46:35,993
>> HOW DO I FOLLOW THAT?

1113
00:46:36,059 --> 00:46:38,095
I'M NOT SURE ANYTHING I SAY

1114
00:46:38,162 --> 00:46:44,234
WILL, YOU KNOW, ADD TO WHAT DR.

1115
00:46:44,301 --> 00:46:45,536
HARDEN JUST SAID.

1116
00:46:45,602 --> 00:46:47,070
IT'S AN INTRIGUING QUESTION

1117
00:46:47,137 --> 00:46:50,040
BECAUSE THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT

1118
00:46:50,107 --> 00:46:51,141
IS -- IT'S FOUNDATIONAL TO ALL

1119
00:46:51,208 --> 00:46:53,544
OF THIS.

1120
00:46:53,610 --> 00:46:59,917
I MEAN, IT REALLY OPENED UP THE

1121
00:46:59,983 --> 00:47:02,653
DOOR FOR OPPORTUNITIES IN SUCH A

1122
00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:05,923
VERY BROAD SCALE, NOT THAT IT

1123
00:47:05,989 --> 00:47:08,425
HAS EASY FOR IF ANYONE TO, YOU

1124
00:47:08,492 --> 00:47:10,494
KNOW, TRAVEL THAT PARTICULAR

1125
00:47:10,561 --> 00:47:10,727
PATHWAY.

1126
00:47:10,794 --> 00:47:15,532
AND THERE ARE EVEN TO THIS DAY,

1127
00:47:15,599 --> 00:47:18,936
ATTEMPTS TO ROLL THINGS BACK, TO

1128
00:47:19,002 --> 00:47:23,207
A TIME WHERE THERE WAS UNEQUAL

1129
00:47:23,273 --> 00:47:26,043
TREATMENT OF INDIVIDUALS IN THE

1130
00:47:26,109 --> 00:47:26,543
COUNTRY.

1131
00:47:26,610 --> 00:47:28,912
ONE OF MY -- I'M FROM

1132
00:47:28,979 --> 00:47:30,447
WASHINGTON, GREW UP IN

1133
00:47:30,514 --> 00:47:32,082
WASHINGTON, D.C. AS WELL, AS WE

1134
00:47:32,149 --> 00:47:34,484
CHATTED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT.

1135
00:47:34,551 --> 00:47:36,553
SHE MAY ACTUALLY KNOW MY

1136
00:47:36,620 --> 00:47:36,787
BROTHER.

1137
00:47:36,853 --> 00:47:39,389
SHE IS GOING TO LOOK HIM UP IN

1138
00:47:39,456 --> 00:47:40,057
THE YEARBOOK.

1139
00:47:40,123 --> 00:47:44,561
BUT ONE OF MY MOST VIVID

1140
00:47:44,628 --> 00:47:47,631
MEMORIES GROWING UP WAS MY

1141
00:47:47,698 --> 00:47:53,637
PARENTS BEING PART OF A GROUP

1142
00:47:53,704 --> 00:47:57,241
THAT MET AT EACH FAMILY'S HOME.

1143
00:47:57,307 --> 00:47:59,876
IT WAS BLACK COUPLES AND WHITE

1144
00:47:59,943 --> 00:48:01,111
COUPLES.

1145
00:48:01,178 --> 00:48:02,846
THEY WOULD ALTERNATE MEETING AT

1146
00:48:02,913 --> 00:48:05,449
THEIR HOMES, AND THEY WOULD TALK

1147
00:48:05,515 --> 00:48:08,518
ABOUT RACE, JUST TALK ABOUT

1148
00:48:08,585 --> 00:48:08,752
RACE.

1149
00:48:08,819 --> 00:48:10,621
AND I REMEMBER MAYBE I WAS JUST

1150
00:48:10,687 --> 00:48:13,790
BEING A LITTLE NOSY OR JUST, YOU

1151
00:48:13,857 --> 00:48:14,658
KNOW, LOOKING FOR TROUBLE, I

1152
00:48:14,725 --> 00:48:17,094
DON'T KNOW, BUT FROM TIME TO

1153
00:48:17,160 --> 00:48:20,030
TIME I WOULD HIDE IN THE COAT

1154
00:48:20,097 --> 00:48:23,200
CLOSET AND LISTEN TO WHAT THEY

1155
00:48:23,267 --> 00:48:24,534
WERE TALKING ABOUT.

1156
00:48:24,601 --> 00:48:27,271
AS BEST I CAN REMEMBER AS BEING

1157
00:48:27,337 --> 00:48:32,843
AN EARLY TEEN AT THAT TIME, THEY

1158
00:48:32,909 --> 00:48:33,944
WERE FRANK AND DIRECT

1159
00:48:34,011 --> 00:48:36,179
DISCUSSIONS ABOUT SOMETHING THAT

1160
00:48:36,246 --> 00:48:39,383
TODAY STILL SEEMS TO BE

1161
00:48:39,449 --> 00:48:40,784
INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT TO HAVE A

1162
00:48:40,851 --> 00:48:41,785
CONVERSATION ABOUT.

1163
00:48:41,852 --> 00:48:45,489
AND AS DR. OLDEN WAS SAYING, IT

1164
00:48:45,555 --> 00:48:48,025
JUST MADE ME -- IT REINFORCED IN

1165
00:48:48,091 --> 00:48:50,327
MY MIND THAT CHANGE REALLY COMES

1166
00:48:50,394 --> 00:48:53,797
FROM INDIVIDUALS WHO WILL MAKE

1167
00:48:53,864 --> 00:48:56,133
THAT CHANGE, WHO ARE COMMITTED

1168
00:48:56,199 --> 00:49:00,170
TO THAT AND WILL PUSH SOCIETY OR

1169
00:49:00,237 --> 00:49:02,806
PUSH THE POLICIES THAT WILL

1170
00:49:02,873 --> 00:49:03,874
ALLOW BENEFICIAL CHANGE TO

1171
00:49:03,940 --> 00:49:04,675
HAPPEN.

1172
00:49:04,741 --> 00:49:06,643
AND I THINK ABOUT THE

1173
00:49:06,710 --> 00:49:09,579
INDIVIDUALS WHO AT THAT TIME

1174
00:49:09,646 --> 00:49:10,681
FORMED THAT GROUP.

1175
00:49:10,747 --> 00:49:12,516
YOU KNOW, TO HAVE THE FORESIGHT

1176
00:49:12,582 --> 00:49:14,651
OF WHAT WAS REALLY IMPORTANT OR

1177
00:49:14,718 --> 00:49:16,253
WHAT WAS SOMETHING THAT WOULD

1178
00:49:16,320 --> 00:49:20,991
HELP THE NATION AS A WHOLE, IS

1179
00:49:21,058 --> 00:49:22,626
SOMETHING THAT IS REALLY

1180
00:49:22,693 --> 00:49:27,097
REMARKABLE IN MANY WAYS, YOU

1181
00:49:27,164 --> 00:49:30,967
KNOW, IN MY MIND.

1182
00:49:31,034 --> 00:49:36,973
AND I OFTEN THINK ABOUT A QUOTE

1183
00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:38,275
FROM MAYA ANGELOU, BECAUSE I

1184
00:49:38,342 --> 00:49:39,943
THINK WHAT THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT

1185
00:49:40,010 --> 00:49:44,414
DID IS THAT IT REALLY, YOU KNOW,

1186
00:49:44,481 --> 00:49:46,283
CHANGED THE LANDSCAPE TO WHERE

1187
00:49:46,350 --> 00:49:47,818
PEOPLE RECOGNIZED THAT NO ONE'S

1188
00:49:47,884 --> 00:49:49,986
BETTER THAN YOU, NO ONE'S WORSE

1189
00:49:50,053 --> 00:49:50,520
THAN YOU.

1190
00:49:50,587 --> 00:49:53,690
AND SO YOU SHOULD HAVE THE SAME

1191
00:49:53,757 --> 00:49:55,392
OPPORTUNITIES THAT ANYONE ELSE

1192
00:49:55,459 --> 00:49:55,559
HAS.

1193
00:49:55,625 --> 00:49:57,327
AND SHE CAME, I THINK IN 2009,

1194
00:49:57,394 --> 00:49:59,196
SHE CAME TO NIH AND ONE OF THE

1195
00:49:59,262 --> 00:50:01,932
THINGS SHE SAID I WILL ALWAYS

1196
00:50:01,998 --> 00:50:02,399
REMEMBER.

1197
00:50:02,466 --> 00:50:04,101
SHE SAID, EQUITY IS LIKE AIR.

1198
00:50:04,167 --> 00:50:07,637
IT BELONGS TO ALL OF US.

1199
00:50:07,704 --> 00:50:09,940
I THINK ABOUT THAT ALL THE TIME

1200
00:50:10,006 --> 00:50:14,878
BECAUSE IT IS SO, SO TRUE.

1201
00:50:14,945 --> 00:50:17,080
>> THANK YOU, DR. STINSON.

1202
00:50:17,147 --> 00:50:17,514
DR. PINN?

1203
00:50:17,581 --> 00:50:19,816
>> WELL, I THINK MY COLLEAGUES

1204
00:50:19,883 --> 00:50:23,320
HAVE COVERED THIS SO WELL, AND I

1205
00:50:23,387 --> 00:50:24,988
AGREE WITH THE MAJOR CONCEPTS

1206
00:50:25,055 --> 00:50:26,089
THEY PUT FORWARD.

1207
00:50:26,156 --> 00:50:29,126
AND I REFLECT ON THE CIVIL

1208
00:50:29,192 --> 00:50:30,861
RIGHTS ACT, AND WHAT CHANGES I

1209
00:50:30,927 --> 00:50:32,729
SAW BEFORE AND AFTER.

1210
00:50:32,796 --> 00:50:34,664
SO 1964, I WAS ALREADY IN

1211
00:50:34,731 --> 00:50:36,333
MEDICAL SCHOOL, I STARTED

1212
00:50:36,400 --> 00:50:37,200
MEDICAL SCHOOL IN 1963.

1213
00:50:37,267 --> 00:50:40,270
I WAS ALREADY IN MEDICAL SCHOOL

1214
00:50:40,337 --> 00:50:45,776
IN A CITY STILL SEGREGATED, THAT

1215
00:50:45,842 --> 00:50:48,845
STILL WAS NOT TAKING WOMEN IN

1216
00:50:48,912 --> 00:50:49,746
ITS UNDERGRADUATE UNIVERSITY,

1217
00:50:49,813 --> 00:50:51,681
WHERE THE CITY ITSELF WAS STILL

1218
00:50:51,748 --> 00:50:52,115
SEGREGATED.

1219
00:50:52,182 --> 00:50:53,784
IN FACT I WENT TO SEGREGATED

1220
00:50:53,850 --> 00:50:55,952
SCHOOLS ALL THE WAY THROUGH HIGH

1221
00:50:56,019 --> 00:50:57,487
SCHOOL UNTIL -- AND THIS WAS IN

1222
00:50:57,554 --> 00:51:01,858
VIRGINIA ALSO, BUT THE REAL

1223
00:51:01,925 --> 00:51:02,626
VIRGINIA, SOUTHERN VIRGINIA, AND

1224
00:51:02,692 --> 00:51:05,395
THEN UNTIL I WENT TO BOSTON, TO

1225
00:51:05,462 --> 00:51:06,696
COLLEGE, EVEN THOUGH BOSTON WAS

1226
00:51:06,763 --> 00:51:08,432
THE NORTH AND WAS SUPPOSEDLY

1227
00:51:08,498 --> 00:51:09,433
INTEGRATED, I DON'T KNOW HOW

1228
00:51:09,499 --> 00:51:12,169
MANY OF YOU REMEMBER WHAT WAS

1229
00:51:12,235 --> 00:51:13,570
HAPPENING IN SOUTH BOSTON WHERE

1230
00:51:13,637 --> 00:51:15,439
THEY DID NOT WANT TO INTEGRATE

1231
00:51:15,505 --> 00:51:16,540
THE SCHOOLS.

1232
00:51:16,606 --> 00:51:18,842
AND THE BUSING EPISODES THERE.

1233
00:51:18,909 --> 00:51:20,944
SO I SAW ALL OF THAT.

1234
00:51:21,011 --> 00:51:22,979
AND THEN I SAW THE CIVIL RIGHTS

1235
00:51:23,046 --> 00:51:23,980
ACT COME ABOUT.

1236
00:51:24,047 --> 00:51:26,817
AND I THINK THE LESSON THAT I

1237
00:51:26,883 --> 00:51:29,986
SAW FROM THAT IS WHAT DR. OLDEN

1238
00:51:30,053 --> 00:51:32,088
AND DR. STINSON HAVE POINTED

1239
00:51:32,155 --> 00:51:32,289
OUT.

1240
00:51:32,355 --> 00:51:33,457
THE LAW ITSELF DIDN'T JUST MAKE

1241
00:51:33,523 --> 00:51:35,492
EVERYBODY ALL OF A SUDDEN CHANGE

1242
00:51:35,559 --> 00:51:37,160
AND SAY THE DOORS ARE OPEN AND

1243
00:51:37,227 --> 00:51:40,163
WE'RE GOING TO BE OPEN AND BRING

1244
00:51:40,230 --> 00:51:41,264
IN EVERYBODY.

1245
00:51:41,331 --> 00:51:42,599
IT ACTUALLY TOOK AN INDIVIDUAL

1246
00:51:42,666 --> 00:51:44,768
HERE OR A COUPLE INDIVIDUALS

1247
00:51:44,835 --> 00:51:46,970
THERE WHO REALLY TOOK THIS

1248
00:51:47,037 --> 00:51:48,705
SERIOUSLY.

1249
00:51:48,772 --> 00:51:54,544
AND WHO REALLY FELT DEDICATED TO

1250
00:51:54,611 --> 00:51:55,512
PRINCIPLES OF DIVERSITY MAKING

1251
00:51:55,579 --> 00:51:58,915
THOSE OPPORTUNITIES EXIST.

1252
00:51:58,982 --> 00:52:00,650
YOU SAW EVERY PLACE THERE WAS A

1253
00:52:00,717 --> 00:52:01,418
PROGRAM FOR MINORITIES,

1254
00:52:01,485 --> 00:52:02,853
ESPECIALLY BLACKS COMING INTO

1255
00:52:02,919 --> 00:52:05,155
Ph.D. PROGRAMS, COMING IN,

1256
00:52:05,222 --> 00:52:06,556
EVEN PRE-MED PROGRAMS, COMING

1257
00:52:06,623 --> 00:52:08,558
INTO MEDICAL SCHOOL, AND YOU SAW

1258
00:52:08,625 --> 00:52:09,359
THE CHANGES.

1259
00:52:09,426 --> 00:52:11,394
ALMOST EVERY ONE OF THOSE YOU

1260
00:52:11,461 --> 00:52:12,929
COULD IDENTIFY ONE PERSON ON THE

1261
00:52:12,996 --> 00:52:14,798
FACULTY THERE WHO REALLY WAS

1262
00:52:14,865 --> 00:52:17,000
CREATING AND TAKING THAT

1263
00:52:17,067 --> 00:52:17,234
FORWARD.

1264
00:52:17,300 --> 00:52:19,236
BUT IT DID MAKE A CHANGE BECAUSE

1265
00:52:19,302 --> 00:52:20,537
IT BECAME PART OF THE LAW.

1266
00:52:20,604 --> 00:52:22,606
I CAN COMMENT ON OTHER THINGS

1267
00:52:22,672 --> 00:52:24,474
BUT I THINK THAT'S BEEN COVERED.

1268
00:52:24,541 --> 00:52:26,343
I DON'T WANT TO REPEAT WHAT

1269
00:52:26,409 --> 00:52:27,077
EVERYBODY ELSE SAID.

1270
00:52:27,143 --> 00:52:28,745
I'M GOING TO ISSUE A BIT OF

1271
00:52:28,812 --> 00:52:29,045
WARNING.

1272
00:52:29,112 --> 00:52:31,248
AND THAT IS THAT WE SHOULD NOT

1273
00:52:31,314 --> 00:52:33,750
TAKE WHAT WE GAIN UNDER THE

1274
00:52:33,817 --> 00:52:37,354
CIVIL RIGHTS ACT AS ESTABLISHED

1275
00:52:37,420 --> 00:52:38,555
AND PERMANENT BECAUSE YOU CAN

1276
00:52:38,622 --> 00:52:40,223
SEE WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THE

1277
00:52:40,290 --> 00:52:41,091
POLITICAL WORLD TODAY.

1278
00:52:41,157 --> 00:52:44,294
AND WE NEED TO MAKE SURE JUST AS

1279
00:52:44,361 --> 00:52:45,595
WHAT HAPPENED WITH VOTING RIGHTS

1280
00:52:45,662 --> 00:52:48,899
ACT, WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT

1281
00:52:48,965 --> 00:52:49,499
OUR RIGHTS UNDER THE CIVIL

1282
00:52:49,566 --> 00:52:51,868
RIGHTS ACT CONTINUE TO BE

1283
00:52:51,935 --> 00:52:54,137
RECOGNIZED AND ENFORCED AS WE GO

1284
00:52:54,204 --> 00:52:55,372
FORWARD SO THE YOUNG FOLKS

1285
00:52:55,438 --> 00:52:57,440
COMING BEHIND US DON'T HAVE TO

1286
00:52:57,507 --> 00:52:59,409
FIGHT THE SAME BATTLES.

1287
00:52:59,476 --> 00:53:00,911
I JUST SEE ALMOST EVERY DAY,

1288
00:53:00,977 --> 00:53:03,213
LOOK AT WHAT'S IN THE NEWS AND

1289
00:53:03,280 --> 00:53:05,115
WHAT'S HAPPENING, AND I GET VERY

1290
00:53:05,181 --> 00:53:05,782
CONCERNED BECAUSE WE'RE FIGHTING

1291
00:53:05,849 --> 00:53:08,351
A LOT OF THE SAME BATTLES,

1292
00:53:08,418 --> 00:53:09,920
ESPECIALLY AS RELATES TO WOMEN'S

1293
00:53:09,986 --> 00:53:13,390
HEALTH, AS RELATES TO VOTING, AS

1294
00:53:13,456 --> 00:53:15,158
RELATES TO VOTER SUPPRESSION, AS

1295
00:53:15,225 --> 00:53:16,927
RELATES TO BEING ADMITTED TO

1296
00:53:16,993 --> 00:53:18,128
MEDICAL AND GRADUATE SCHOOLS.

1297
00:53:18,194 --> 00:53:20,430
AND TO ME IT'S LIKE REVISITING

1298
00:53:20,497 --> 00:53:23,366
WHAT IT WAS LIKE IN THE '40s

1299
00:53:23,433 --> 00:53:24,701
AND '50s AND '60s, BEFORE

1300
00:53:24,768 --> 00:53:26,002
THE CIVIL RIGHTS ERA.

1301
00:53:26,069 --> 00:53:29,406
SO, I JUST ASK THAT WE ALL

1302
00:53:29,472 --> 00:53:30,707
REMAIN DEDICATED TO KEEPING

1303
00:53:30,774 --> 00:53:32,909
THOSE LAWS AND THE PRINCIPLES

1304
00:53:32,976 --> 00:53:35,645
BEHIND THOSE LAWS CURRENT AND

1305
00:53:35,712 --> 00:53:37,380
GIVE OUR EVERY EFFORT TO

1306
00:53:37,447 --> 00:53:38,281
PRESERVING THEM.

1307
00:53:38,348 --> 00:53:41,651
I'LL JUST STOP THERE.

1308
00:53:41,718 --> 00:53:46,523
>> THANK YOU, DR. PINN.

1309
00:53:47,390 --> 00:53:49,426
SUCH WONDERFUL AND INSPIRING

1310
00:53:49,492 --> 00:53:53,229
INFORMATION, YOUR HISTORY, YOUR

1311
00:53:53,296 --> 00:53:53,463
STORIES.

1312
00:53:53,530 --> 00:53:57,500
AND THE -- I WILL SAY JOURNEY.

1313
00:53:57,567 --> 00:54:00,236
I WILL SAY YOUR JOURNEY.

1314
00:54:00,303 --> 00:54:02,339
I'M THINKING FOR A DIFFERENT

1315
00:54:02,405 --> 00:54:04,307
WORD BUT YOUR JOURNEYS, THEY ARE

1316
00:54:04,374 --> 00:54:04,574
INSPIRING.

1317
00:54:04,641 --> 00:54:07,377
SO AS WE LOOK FORWARD AND MOVE

1318
00:54:07,444 --> 00:54:11,548
TO THE FUTURE, AND WHERE WE ARE

1319
00:54:11,615 --> 00:54:17,253
NOW WITH BLACK SCIENTISTS,

1320
00:54:17,320 --> 00:54:20,557
ASPIRING SCIENTISTS, ASPIRING

1321
00:54:20,624 --> 00:54:22,959
BLACKS IN PUBLIC HEALTH, WHAT

1322
00:54:23,026 --> 00:54:25,028
ADVICE, IF ANY, COULD YOU GIVE

1323
00:54:25,095 --> 00:54:28,298
THEM AS THEY JOURNEY THROUGH

1324
00:54:28,365 --> 00:54:32,135
THEIR CAREERS AND THEIR PATHWAY?

1325
00:54:32,202 --> 00:54:32,902
DR. OLDEN?

1326
00:54:32,969 --> 00:54:34,337
OH, DR. PINN?

1327
00:54:34,404 --> 00:54:36,506
GO AHEAD.

1328
00:54:36,573 --> 00:54:38,875
OKAY.

1329
00:54:50,353 --> 00:54:54,357
>> THERE ARE A LOT OF EFFORTS

1330
00:54:54,424 --> 00:54:55,892
UNDERWAY, BUT ONE THING, I'M ON

1331
00:54:55,959 --> 00:54:57,427
A ROUNDTABLE AT THE NATIONAL

1332
00:54:57,494 --> 00:54:59,496
ACADEMY OF SCIENCE, ENGINEERING

1333
00:54:59,562 --> 00:55:04,134
AND MEDICINE THAT'S DEDICATED TO

1334
00:55:04,200 --> 00:55:05,402
INCREASING OPPORTUNITIES FOR

1335
00:55:05,468 --> 00:55:06,736
WOMEN, AND SUPPOSEDLY STARTED

1336
00:55:06,803 --> 00:55:09,105
WITH BLACK MEN BUT I COULDN'T BE

1337
00:55:09,172 --> 00:55:11,074
THERE AND NOT ADDRESS WOMEN ALSO

1338
00:55:11,141 --> 00:55:17,013
SO IT'S A ROUNDTABLE ADDRESSING

1339
00:55:17,080 --> 00:55:17,881
IMPROVING OPPORTUNITIES FOR

1340
00:55:17,947 --> 00:55:20,950
BLACK WOMEN AND BLACK MEN IN

1341
00:55:21,017 --> 00:55:22,052
SCIENCE, ENGINEERING, AND

1342
00:55:22,118 --> 00:55:22,318
MEDICINE.

1343
00:55:22,385 --> 00:55:24,320
AND SO WE'VE BEEN HAVING A

1344
00:55:24,387 --> 00:55:25,989
SERIES OF MEETINGS AND PROGRAMS

1345
00:55:26,056 --> 00:55:28,024
OVER THE PAST -- WE'VE BEEN IN

1346
00:55:28,091 --> 00:55:28,925
EXISTENCE NOW A LITTLE OVER

1347
00:55:28,992 --> 00:55:30,360
THREE YEARS.

1348
00:55:30,427 --> 00:55:32,128
AFTER IT BECAME OBVIOUS WE WERE

1349
00:55:32,195 --> 00:55:34,431
NOT -- NUMBERS OF BLACK MEN IN

1350
00:55:34,497 --> 00:55:36,332
MEDICINE HAD REMAINED STAGNANT

1351
00:55:36,399 --> 00:55:39,536
SINCE THE '70s, AND SO WE HAD

1352
00:55:39,602 --> 00:55:40,970
NOT BEEN INCREASING, WHILE

1353
00:55:41,037 --> 00:55:42,338
INCREASING BLACKS IN MEDICINE

1354
00:55:42,405 --> 00:55:43,840
WAS MOSTLY RELATED TO TAKING

1355
00:55:43,907 --> 00:55:45,875
MORE WOMEN IN AND THAT LOOKED

1356
00:55:45,942 --> 00:55:47,544
GREAT UNTIL YOU STOPPED AND SAW

1357
00:55:47,610 --> 00:55:49,512
WHAT'S HAPPENING TO OUR MALE

1358
00:55:49,579 --> 00:55:50,947
COLLEAGUES AND MALE STUDENTS,

1359
00:55:51,014 --> 00:55:52,148
AND THEY WERE NOT GETTING THE

1360
00:55:52,215 --> 00:55:53,216
SAME OPPORTUNITIES.

1361
00:55:53,283 --> 00:55:54,017
SO THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF

1362
00:55:54,084 --> 00:55:55,418
ATTENTION GIVEN TO THAT.

1363
00:55:55,485 --> 00:55:58,054
AND LOOKING AT THE BARRIERS THAT

1364
00:55:58,121 --> 00:56:00,657
STUDENTS FACE ALONG THE

1365
00:56:00,724 --> 00:56:00,924
PATHWAYS.

1366
00:56:00,990 --> 00:56:03,426
I WON'T GO INTO ALL THE BARRIERS

1367
00:56:03,493 --> 00:56:04,828
BECAUSE THEY ARE THERE.

1368
00:56:04,894 --> 00:56:07,564
ONE OF THE MAJOR ONES IS LOOKING

1369
00:56:07,630 --> 00:56:09,099
AT INSTITUTIONAL RACISM.

1370
00:56:09,165 --> 00:56:11,534
AND THAT WE REALLY NEED TO

1371
00:56:11,601 --> 00:56:14,704
ELIMINATE RACISM AS IT EXISTS

1372
00:56:14,771 --> 00:56:15,205
THROUGHOUT INSTITUTIONS.

1373
00:56:15,271 --> 00:56:17,340
BY THAT I MEAN WHETHER THE

1374
00:56:17,407 --> 00:56:20,944
INSTITUTION IS THE UNIVERSITY,

1375
00:56:21,010 --> 00:56:22,479
AN ORGANIZATION, OR SCHOOL, BUT

1376
00:56:22,545 --> 00:56:24,247
JUST THAT WE SHOULDN'T ALWAYS

1377
00:56:24,314 --> 00:56:25,882
THINK WE HAVE TO CHANGE TO FIT

1378
00:56:25,949 --> 00:56:27,283
INTO THE SYSTEM.

1379
00:56:27,350 --> 00:56:30,019
MAYBE THE SYSTEM NEEDS TO ADAPT

1380
00:56:30,086 --> 00:56:31,988
TO HAVING MORE DIVERSE

1381
00:56:32,055 --> 00:56:34,491
PARTICIPANTS IN THAT SYSTEM, AND

1382
00:56:34,557 --> 00:56:37,260
THAT'S WHERE WE THINK THE

1383
00:56:37,327 --> 00:56:39,229
EFFORTS NEED TO GO.

1384
00:56:39,295 --> 00:56:40,764
BUT TO NOT GO FURTHER INTO THAT

1385
00:56:40,830 --> 00:56:43,700
IF THERE'S TIME I'D LOVE TO TELL

1386
00:56:43,767 --> 00:56:45,568
YOU MORE ABOUT THAT AND ALSO THE

1387
00:56:45,635 --> 00:56:46,669
NATIONAL MEDICAL ASSOCIATION

1388
00:56:46,736 --> 00:56:49,939
ALSO HAS AN EFFORT UNDERGOING

1389
00:56:50,006 --> 00:56:52,475
WITH THE AAMC, ASSOCIATION OF

1390
00:56:52,542 --> 00:56:53,977
AMERICAN MEDICAL COLLEGES,

1391
00:56:54,043 --> 00:56:55,311
ADDRESSING THE SAME ISSUE,

1392
00:56:55,378 --> 00:56:57,614
REALLY LOOKING AT INCREASING

1393
00:56:57,680 --> 00:56:59,015
BLACK MEN IN MEDICINE AND

1394
00:56:59,082 --> 00:56:59,282
SCIENCE.

1395
00:56:59,349 --> 00:57:04,487
AND I THINK WE NEED  NEED TO

1396
00:57:04,554 --> 00:57:06,356
LOOK BEYOND MEDICINE, LOOKING AT

1397
00:57:06,422 --> 00:57:07,490
CAREERS IN SCIENCE IN GENERAL.

1398
00:57:07,557 --> 00:57:08,992
NOT EVERYBODY NEEDS TO BE A

1399
00:57:09,058 --> 00:57:09,259
DOCTOR.

1400
00:57:09,325 --> 00:57:12,695
THERE ARE  ROLES YOU CAN HAVE IN

1401
00:57:12,762 --> 00:57:13,897
SCIENCE AND MEDICINE.

1402
00:57:13,963 --> 00:57:15,598
BUT IT'S, TO ME, IT'S PLEASING

1403
00:57:15,665 --> 00:57:19,369
TO SEE THAT THERE ARE ACTUALLY

1404
00:57:19,435 --> 00:57:20,904
ORGANIZATIONAL EFFORTS LIKE

1405
00:57:20,970 --> 00:57:23,206
HAVING THE AAMC WHICH HAS NEVER

1406
00:57:23,273 --> 00:57:27,043
BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN REACHING

1407
00:57:27,110 --> 00:57:28,678
PARITY FOR BLACKS ADMITTED TO

1408
00:57:28,745 --> 00:57:29,779
MEDICAL SCHOOL AND GRADUATING,

1409
00:57:29,846 --> 00:57:30,980
THEY ARE FOCUSING ON THAT.

1410
00:57:31,047 --> 00:57:33,249
AND THEN IT IS SOMETHING OF A

1411
00:57:33,316 --> 00:57:35,151
FIRST FOR THE NATIONAL ACADEMY

1412
00:57:35,218 --> 00:57:36,019
OF SCIENCE, ENGINEERING AND

1413
00:57:36,085 --> 00:57:37,821
MEDICINE, MANY OF OF YOU MAY

1414
00:57:37,887 --> 00:57:39,622
KNOW IT, USED TO BE CALLED

1415
00:57:39,689 --> 00:57:42,392
INSTITUTE OF MEDICINE, TO HAVE

1416
00:57:42,458 --> 00:57:43,092
ACTUAL ROUNDTABLE ADDRESSING

1417
00:57:43,159 --> 00:57:44,561
THESE SPECIFIC ISSUES.

1418
00:57:44,627 --> 00:57:46,196
THE ONLY PROBLEM IS IT CAN ONLY

1419
00:57:46,262 --> 00:57:47,897
COME UP WITH SUGGESTION ALSO AND

1420
00:57:47,964 --> 00:57:51,935
THOUGHTS, IT DOES NOT HAVE THE

1421
00:57:52,001 --> 00:57:53,169
POWER OF IMPLEMENTATION.

1422
00:57:53,236 --> 00:57:54,204
SO THAT'S WHERE OUR EFFORT IS.

1423
00:57:54,270 --> 00:57:55,972
WE COME UP WITH GREAT IDEAS,

1424
00:57:56,039 --> 00:57:57,807
GREAT THOUGHTS, BUT WE NEED TO

1425
00:57:57,874 --> 00:57:59,375
MAKE SURE THAT INSTITUTIONS ARE

1426
00:57:59,442 --> 00:58:00,210
PAYING ATTENTION.

1427
00:58:00,276 --> 00:58:02,212
BUT THE FINAL THING IS BECAUSE

1428
00:58:02,278 --> 00:58:03,446
THE QUESTION REALLY WAS NOT THAT

1429
00:58:03,513 --> 00:58:08,017
I JUST WANTED TO POINT OUT AT

1430
00:58:08,084 --> 00:58:09,652
REALLY LOOKING AT WHAT ADVICE WE

1431
00:58:09,719 --> 00:58:11,521
CAN BETTER GIVE AND MAKE

1432
00:58:11,588 --> 00:58:12,622
INSTITUTIONS MORE RECEPTIVE.

1433
00:58:12,689 --> 00:58:14,824
BUT I WOULD SAY TO ANYONE

1434
00:58:14,891 --> 00:58:16,793
ASPIRING TO CAREERS IN SCIENCE

1435
00:58:16,860 --> 00:58:18,661
AND MEDICINE, TO GO FORWARD.

1436
00:58:18,728 --> 00:58:21,297
I THINK THERE'S NOTHING MORE

1437
00:58:21,364 --> 00:58:22,932
FASCINATING, NOTHING MORE

1438
00:58:22,999 --> 00:58:24,601
FULFILLING, THAN KNOWING THAT

1439
00:58:24,667 --> 00:58:26,002
YOU'RE MAKING A DIFFERENCE,

1440
00:58:26,069 --> 00:58:27,437
DISCOVERING SOMETHING FROM

1441
00:58:27,503 --> 00:58:29,305
SCIENCE NO ONE NEW BEFORE OR

1442
00:58:29,372 --> 00:58:29,973
YOU'RE BEGINNING TO UNDERSTAND

1443
00:58:30,039 --> 00:58:32,575
MORE ABOUT THE BODY OR THE

1444
00:58:32,642 --> 00:58:33,877
ENVIRONMENT OR OUR CLIMATE, OR

1445
00:58:33,943 --> 00:58:35,745
WHATEVER, THAT YOU HAVE A BETTER

1446
00:58:35,812 --> 00:58:39,349
UNDERSTANDING TO EMBRACE THAT

1447
00:58:39,415 --> 00:58:42,418
AND WHAT WE CAN DO TO IMPROVE

1448
00:58:42,485 --> 00:58:43,186
AND PRESERVE FOR FUTURE

1449
00:58:43,253 --> 00:58:45,021
GENERATIONS, JUST LOOK AT OUR

1450
00:58:45,088 --> 00:58:46,456
CLIMATE AS AN EXAMPLE.

1451
00:58:46,522 --> 00:58:48,024
AND THAT THERE WILL BE

1452
00:58:48,091 --> 00:58:49,993
CHALLENGES ALONG THE WAY.

1453
00:58:50,059 --> 00:58:51,895
AND, BOY, I CAN RECOUNT

1454
00:58:51,961 --> 00:58:52,228
CHALLENGES.

1455
00:58:52,295 --> 00:58:55,031
SOMETIMES I THINK WHEN I HEAR

1456
00:58:55,098 --> 00:58:57,333
STUDENTS COMPLAIN ABOUT SOME OF

1457
00:58:57,400 --> 00:58:58,668
THE MICROAGGRESSIONS THEY FACE

1458
00:58:58,735 --> 00:59:00,203
AND COMMENTS THEY ARE CALLED,

1459
00:59:00,270 --> 00:59:02,071
NAMES THEY ARE CALLED, I'M

1460
00:59:02,138 --> 00:59:03,706
THINKING, GEE WHIZ, WHAT WOULD

1461
00:59:03,773 --> 00:59:05,141
YOU HAVE DONE IF YOU WERE COMING

1462
00:59:05,208 --> 00:59:06,576
THROUGH WHEN I WAS COMING

1463
00:59:06,643 --> 00:59:07,777
THROUGH 50 YEARS AGO, SOME OF

1464
00:59:07,844 --> 00:59:09,445
THE THINGS WE WERE CALLED, HOW

1465
00:59:09,512 --> 00:59:11,414
WE WERE ADDRESSED, AND I STOP

1466
00:59:11,481 --> 00:59:17,754
AND THINK, NO, THAT'S NOT FAIR.

1467
00:59:17,820 --> 00:59:19,689
FIFTY YEARS LATER, EVEN IF WE

1468
00:59:19,756 --> 00:59:21,257
DID ENDURE THOSE 50 YEARS AGO,

1469
00:59:21,324 --> 00:59:22,926
STUDENTS TODAY SHOULD NOT HAVE

1470
00:59:22,992 --> 00:59:24,694
TO FACE THOSE SAME CHALLENGES IF

1471
00:59:24,761 --> 00:59:26,629
WE MADE ANY PROGRESS.

1472
00:59:26,696 --> 00:59:31,567
SO, MY WORD OF ADVICE IS GO FOR

1473
00:59:31,634 --> 00:59:31,801
IT.

1474
00:59:31,868 --> 00:59:34,404
BE INTERESTED.

1475
00:59:34,470 --> 00:59:37,607
DON'T LET ALL THESE DISTRACTIONS

1476
00:59:37,674 --> 00:59:43,713
AND CHALLENGES AND ISMS, BE THEY

1477
00:59:43,780 --> 00:59:44,948
RACISM, SEXISM, HOMOPHOBISMS,

1478
00:59:45,014 --> 00:59:46,349
DON'T LET THEM DISTRACT YOU FROM

1479
00:59:46,416 --> 00:59:47,450
YOUR PURPOSE.

1480
00:59:47,517 --> 00:59:48,885
REMEMBER WHAT YOU ARE STRIVING

1481
00:59:48,952 --> 00:59:49,319
FOR.

1482
00:59:49,385 --> 00:59:51,821
YES, YOU TRY TO COMBAT THOSE

1483
00:59:51,888 --> 00:59:54,457
THINGS, DON'T LET THESE ISSUES

1484
00:59:54,524 --> 00:59:55,558
TOTALLY TAKE YOU OVER, BUT AT

1485
00:59:55,625 --> 00:59:58,094
THE SAME TIME DON'T LET THEM

1486
00:59:58,161 --> 01:00:01,030
DISTRACT YOU FROM WHAT YOU'RE

1487
01:00:01,097 --> 01:00:01,798
THERE FOR.

1488
01:00:01,864 --> 01:00:03,232
THAT'S MY BOTTOM LINE.

1489
01:00:03,299 --> 01:00:04,867
ALWAYS KNOW CAN YOU DO BETTER

1490
01:00:04,934 --> 01:00:05,969
THAN THOSE FOLKS WHO THINK YOU

1491
01:00:06,035 --> 01:00:07,036
CAN'T DO AS WELL.

1492
01:00:07,103 --> 01:00:11,474
THAT'S THE END OF MY MESSAGE ON

1493
01:00:11,541 --> 01:00:14,277
THIS ONE.

1494
01:00:14,344 --> 01:00:16,346
>> THANK YOU.

1495
01:00:16,412 --> 01:00:18,247
DR. STINSON?

1496
01:00:18,314 --> 01:00:21,484
>> TWO PIECES OF ADVICE.

1497
01:00:21,551 --> 01:00:22,919
FIRST ONE, WHICH ALIGNS WITH

1498
01:00:22,986 --> 01:00:25,421
WHAT DR. PINN JUST SAID,

1499
01:00:25,488 --> 01:00:27,523
UNDERSTAND WHAT YOUR GOAL IS.

1500
01:00:27,590 --> 01:00:30,493
A GOAL IS WHAT YOU WANT TO BE OR

1501
01:00:30,560 --> 01:00:34,464
WHAT YOU WANT TO ACHIEVE.

1502
01:00:34,530 --> 01:00:36,966
AND DON'T SHORTCHANGE YOURSELF.

1503
01:00:37,033 --> 01:00:41,004
TOO OFTEN I THINK THERE'S A

1504
01:00:41,070 --> 01:00:43,406
TENDENCY TO TRY TO DECIDE WHAT'S

1505
01:00:43,473 --> 01:00:44,407
ACHIEVABLE, YOU KNOW, WHAT IS IT

1506
01:00:44,474 --> 01:00:46,809
SO I CAN SAY THAT I WAS

1507
01:00:46,876 --> 01:00:48,111
SUCCESSFUL BECAUSE I MET THAT.

1508
01:00:48,177 --> 01:00:51,748
THAT MAY NOT BE REALLY WHAT YOU

1509
01:00:51,814 --> 01:00:53,049
ASPIRE TO.

1510
01:00:53,116 --> 01:00:55,451
THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH

1511
01:00:55,518 --> 01:00:59,922
ASPIRING TO THE MOST LOFTY LEVEL

1512
01:00:59,989 --> 01:01:01,691
OR POSITION AND GETTING CLOSE IS

1513
01:01:01,758 --> 01:01:02,892
NOT FAILURE.

1514
01:01:02,959 --> 01:01:05,194
THAT MAY BE VERY FAR FROM, YOU

1515
01:01:05,261 --> 01:01:09,565
KNOW, SETTING SOME TYPE OF GOAL

1516
01:01:09,632 --> 01:01:17,040
THAT YOU CAN EASILY ACHIEVE.

1517
01:01:17,106 --> 01:01:18,875
SO DON'T SHORTCHANGE YOURSELF.

1518
01:01:18,941 --> 01:01:20,209
YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'RE

1519
01:01:20,276 --> 01:01:21,744
ACTUALLY ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH.

1520
01:01:21,811 --> 01:01:26,916
THE SECOND PIECE OF ADVICE,

1521
01:01:26,983 --> 01:01:29,085
DVICE, FIND THAT SPECIAL MENTOR

1522
01:01:29,152 --> 01:01:31,054
AND THAT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE IN

1523
01:01:31,120 --> 01:01:32,455
THE SCIENTIFIC AREA.

1524
01:01:32,522 --> 01:01:35,858
AND WHAT I MEAN BY, QUOTE,

1525
01:01:35,925 --> 01:01:36,959
"SPECIAL" IS FIND THAT PERSON

1526
01:01:37,026 --> 01:01:40,029
THAT SEES SOMETHING IN YOU THAT

1527
01:01:40,096 --> 01:01:42,432
YOU DON'T EVEN RECOGNIZE.

1528
01:01:42,498 --> 01:01:45,168
FOR ME, I WASN'T ONE OF THOSE

1529
01:01:45,234 --> 01:01:48,671
INDIVIDUALS WHO WANTED TO BE A

1530
01:01:48,738 --> 01:01:51,274
SCIENTIST FROM THIRD GRADE OR

1531
01:01:51,340 --> 01:01:56,112
PARTICIPATED IN SCHOOL SCIENCE

1532
01:01:56,179 --> 01:01:56,546
AFFAIRS.

1533
01:01:56,612 --> 01:01:58,047
QUITE FRANKLY MY FIRST YEAR OF

1534
01:01:58,114 --> 01:01:59,482
COLLEGE I SPENT MORE TIME IN THE

1535
01:01:59,549 --> 01:02:01,150
STUDENT UNION GAME ROOM THAN I

1536
01:02:01,217 --> 01:02:02,985
DID IN THE LIBRARY.

1537
01:02:03,052 --> 01:02:06,722
AND I HAVE SUCH A VIVID MEMORY

1538
01:02:06,789 --> 01:02:09,292
OF, YOU KNOW, ENGLISH CLASS AND

1539
01:02:09,358 --> 01:02:10,326
THE PROFESSOR COMING UP TO ME AT

1540
01:02:10,393 --> 01:02:12,028
THE END OF THE CLASS SAYING HE

1541
01:02:12,095 --> 01:02:17,767
WANTED ME TO COME TO HIS OFFICE

1542
01:02:17,834 --> 01:02:18,468
HOURS.

1543
01:02:18,534 --> 01:02:20,470
I SAID, OKAY, ALL RIGHT.

1544
01:02:20,536 --> 01:02:22,371
BUT I WAS PERPLEXED BECAUSE I

1545
01:02:22,438 --> 01:02:25,208
WASN'T DOING BAD IN THE CLASS, I

1546
01:02:25,274 --> 01:02:27,043
MEAN I WAS PASSING, LET ME SAY

1547
01:02:27,110 --> 01:02:28,144
IT THAT WAY.

1548
01:02:28,211 --> 01:02:29,812
I WASN'T FALLING ASLEEP IN

1549
01:02:29,879 --> 01:02:31,013
CLASS, I WASN'T DISRUPTIVE IN

1550
01:02:31,080 --> 01:02:31,447
CLASS.

1551
01:02:31,514 --> 01:02:33,516
I HAD NO IDEA WHAT HE REALLY

1552
01:02:33,583 --> 01:02:35,351
WANTED TO TALK TO ME ABOUT.

1553
01:02:35,418 --> 01:02:37,887
AND WHEN I WENT IN TO SEE HIM,

1554
01:02:37,954 --> 01:02:42,391
WHAT HE SAID TO ME IS THAT I

1555
01:02:42,458 --> 01:02:44,127
JUST HAVE A FEELING OR A SENSE

1556
01:02:44,193 --> 01:02:48,397
YOU'RE NOT WORKING TO YOUR

1557
01:02:48,464 --> 01:02:49,065
POTENTIAL.

1558
01:02:49,132 --> 01:02:51,701
AND ROY LUCKY IS LIST NAME, I

1559
01:02:51,767 --> 01:02:54,537
WILL NEVER FORGET THIS MAN, WHO

1560
01:02:54,604 --> 01:02:56,072
CENTRALLY, YOU KNOW, WAS MORE

1561
01:02:56,139 --> 01:02:59,242
CONCERNED ABOUT ME THAN I WAS

1562
01:02:59,308 --> 01:03:02,211
ABOUT MYSELF AT THAT POINT IN

1563
01:03:02,278 --> 01:03:02,545
TIME.

1564
01:03:02,612 --> 01:03:04,280
AND IT REALLY WAS

1565
01:03:04,347 --> 01:03:05,214
TRANSFORMATIONAL BECAUSE I HAD

1566
01:03:05,281 --> 01:03:06,149
TO STEP BACK.

1567
01:03:06,215 --> 01:03:07,817
IT FORCED ME TO STEP BACK AND

1568
01:03:07,884 --> 01:03:09,652
THINK, WELL, WHAT IS IT THAT I

1569
01:03:09,719 --> 01:03:10,720
REALLY WANT TO DO?

1570
01:03:10,786 --> 01:03:13,556
WHY AM I IN COLLEGE?

1571
01:03:13,623 --> 01:03:17,727
WHAT IS IT THAT I THINK I CAN

1572
01:03:17,793 --> 01:03:20,363
ACTUALLY, YOU KNOW, ACHIEVE AND

1573
01:03:20,429 --> 01:03:20,863
ACCOMPLISH?

1574
01:03:20,930 --> 01:03:25,268
AND SO DURING THE REST OF THE

1575
01:03:25,334 --> 01:03:27,136
TIME, DURING HIS LIFE, HE WAS

1576
01:03:27,203 --> 01:03:28,771
SOMEONE THAT I COULD HAVE A

1577
01:03:28,838 --> 01:03:30,306
CONVERSATION WITH THAT HAD

1578
01:03:30,373 --> 01:03:34,644
NOTHING TO DO WITH BIOLOGY OR

1579
01:03:34,710 --> 01:03:37,113
SCIENCE, BUT SOMEONE WHO I FEEL

1580
01:03:37,180 --> 01:03:39,081
WAS THE FOUNDATIONAL MENTOR FOR

1581
01:03:39,148 --> 01:03:41,717
ME THAT HELPED ME THINK ABOUT

1582
01:03:41,784 --> 01:03:44,654
WHAT WAS IMPORTANT TO ME, AND TO

1583
01:03:44,720 --> 01:03:48,090
USE THAT TO DETERMINE WHAT MY

1584
01:03:48,157 --> 01:03:49,825
GOALS WERE.

1585
01:03:49,892 --> 01:03:52,228
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH, DR.

1586
01:03:52,295 --> 01:03:52,562
STINSON.

1587
01:03:52,628 --> 01:03:54,964
DR. HARDEN?

1588
01:03:56,799 --> 01:03:59,902
>> THIS IS FOR MY MENTEES THAT

1589
01:03:59,969 --> 01:04:02,538
ARE PRESENT, SUCH AS BEVERLY,

1590
01:04:02,605 --> 01:04:04,073
IT'S FOR MY COLLEAGUES FROM NIA

1591
01:04:04,140 --> 01:04:06,375
THAT ARE PRESENT, AND IT'S FOR

1592
01:04:06,442 --> 01:04:07,577
MY MENTEES THAT ARE ONLINE.

1593
01:04:07,643 --> 01:04:10,213
THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD BE

1594
01:04:10,279 --> 01:04:10,580
LISTENING.

1595
01:04:10,646 --> 01:04:14,584
SO, THEY KNOW WHEN WE TALK ABOUT

1596
01:04:14,650 --> 01:04:16,552
ASPIRING SCIENTISTS, THOSE THAT

1597
01:04:16,619 --> 01:04:18,754
ARE ALREADY IN THE SCIENTIFIC

1598
01:04:18,821 --> 01:04:20,389
DOMAIN, THIS IS FOR YOU.

1599
01:04:20,456 --> 01:04:23,593
AND FOR ALL OF YOU AS WELL.

1600
01:04:23,659 --> 01:04:25,561
DO WE HAVE ANY FOOTBALL FANS

1601
01:04:25,628 --> 01:04:27,196
HERE?

1602
01:04:27,263 --> 01:04:28,731
CAN YOU RAISE YOUR HANDS SO I

1603
01:04:28,798 --> 01:04:30,600
CAN SEE?

1604
01:04:30,666 --> 01:04:31,901
I'M NEW TO FOOTBALL.

1605
01:04:31,968 --> 01:04:36,172
BUT IT'S MY NEW THING.

1606
01:04:36,239 --> 01:04:40,876
AND THE REASON IT'S MY NEW THING

1607
01:04:40,943 --> 01:04:47,083
IS I THINK OF SCIENCE AND

1608
01:04:47,149 --> 01:04:51,821
ASPIRATIONS, BEING ON A FOOTBALL

1609
01:04:51,887 --> 01:04:52,255
FIELD.

1610
01:04:52,321 --> 01:04:54,390
THINK ABOUT THE CURRENT SUPER

1611
01:04:54,457 --> 01:04:56,125
BOWL CHAMPS.

1612
01:04:56,192 --> 01:04:58,527
YOU HAVE A TEAM.

1613
01:04:58,594 --> 01:05:02,632
WE DIDN'T GET TO TEAM SCIENCE AT

1614
01:05:02,698 --> 01:05:04,467
NIH AS IF IT WAS SOMETHING NEW.

1615
01:05:04,533 --> 01:05:06,402
TEAM SPORTS HAD ALREADY BEEN OUT

1616
01:05:06,469 --> 01:05:06,736
THERE.

1617
01:05:06,802 --> 01:05:09,472
AND THE REASON YOU HAVE A GOOD

1618
01:05:09,538 --> 01:05:11,474
TEAM IS BECAUSE YOU WANT TO GET

1619
01:05:11,540 --> 01:05:14,944
TO THE GOAL LINE.

1620
01:05:15,011 --> 01:05:17,980
THE GOAL LINE IS WHATEVER

1621
01:05:18,047 --> 01:05:19,215
SCIENTIFIC QUESTION YOU'RE

1622
01:05:19,282 --> 01:05:19,815
EXPLORING.

1623
01:05:19,882 --> 01:05:22,718
YOU WANT TO SOLVE THAT THING.

1624
01:05:22,785 --> 01:05:24,687
THAT'S YOUR GOAL.

1625
01:05:24,754 --> 01:05:27,189
AND YOU WANT TO RECRUIT THE BEST

1626
01:05:27,256 --> 01:05:31,894
PEOPLE AROUND YOU, THE BEST

1627
01:05:31,961 --> 01:05:32,561
PEOPLE IN THE WORLD.

1628
01:05:32,628 --> 01:05:35,631
THAT HAS BEEN THE LEGACY OF THE

1629
01:05:35,698 --> 01:05:37,600
TEAM SCIENCE AND TEAM SPORTS.

1630
01:05:37,667 --> 01:05:40,236
YOU CAN SEND AN E-MAIL TO

1631
01:05:40,303 --> 01:05:40,469
ANYONE.

1632
01:05:40,536 --> 01:05:44,140
MOST PEOPLE, THEY LOVE GIVING

1633
01:05:44,206 --> 01:05:44,440
FREE ADVICE.

1634
01:05:44,507 --> 01:05:48,044
IT'S UP TO YOU TO BE ABLE TO

1635
01:05:48,110 --> 01:05:50,179
SCREEN THAT.

1636
01:05:50,246 --> 01:05:51,647
NOW, THE OTHER THING, SO AS NOT

1637
01:05:51,714 --> 01:05:54,116
TO TAKE UP TOO MUCH TIME, BUT

1638
01:05:54,183 --> 01:05:57,186
YOU HAVE THAT FOOTBALL ANALOGY

1639
01:05:57,253 --> 01:05:57,420
IN MIND.

1640
01:05:57,486 --> 01:05:59,955
YOU KNOW THE LAY OF THE FIELD.

1641
01:06:00,022 --> 01:06:05,428
WHAT YOU HAVE TO KEEP IN MIND AS

1642
01:06:05,494 --> 01:06:11,334
PLAYERS IS THAT WE'RE IN THE ERA

1643
01:06:11,400 --> 01:06:12,768
NOW OF D.E.I., DIVERSITY,

1644
01:06:12,835 --> 01:06:15,705
EQUITY, AND INCLUSION, AND SOME

1645
01:06:15,771 --> 01:06:17,273
ADDED A FOR ACCESSIBILITY.

1646
01:06:17,340 --> 01:06:19,675
DON'T FORGET WHERE YOU CAME

1647
01:06:19,742 --> 01:06:20,076
FROM.

1648
01:06:20,142 --> 01:06:21,644
WHEN YOU STARTED PLAYING

1649
01:06:21,711 --> 01:06:22,678
FOOTBALL.

1650
01:06:22,745 --> 01:06:25,047
SO DON'T FORGET ABOUT THE

1651
01:06:25,114 --> 01:06:26,048
DISCRIMINATION, THE SEGREGATION,

1652
01:06:26,115 --> 01:06:26,816
AND THE SEPARATION.

1653
01:06:26,882 --> 01:06:30,286
YOU HAVE TO KEEP THAT IN MIND

1654
01:06:30,353 --> 01:06:31,187
BECAUSE JUST LIKE A TEAM,

1655
01:06:31,253 --> 01:06:34,256
SOMETIMES THEY WILL TRY TO BLOCK

1656
01:06:34,323 --> 01:06:36,559
YOUR VISION, YOUR VIEW, AND HAVE

1657
01:06:36,625 --> 01:06:38,394
YOU FORGET WHERE YOU CAME FROM,

1658
01:06:38,461 --> 01:06:40,396
WHAT YOU LEARNED IN THE PAST.

1659
01:06:40,463 --> 01:06:43,065
SO DON'T EVER LOSE SIGHT OF

1660
01:06:43,132 --> 01:06:46,102
THAT.

1661
01:06:46,168 --> 01:06:51,006
THE OTHER THING IS AS A PLAYER,

1662
01:06:51,073 --> 01:06:55,444
I WANT YOU TO BE CONSCIENTIOUS.

1663
01:06:55,511 --> 01:06:56,345
A CERTAIN PERSISTENCE AND

1664
01:06:56,412 --> 01:07:03,719
DEDICATION TO YOUR CRAFT.

1665
01:07:03,786 --> 01:07:05,588
IN PSYCHOLOGY THEY SAY

1666
01:07:05,654 --> 01:07:07,556
CONSCIENTIOUSNESS IS INDEED A

1667
01:07:07,623 --> 01:07:08,057
TRAIT.

1668
01:07:08,124 --> 01:07:11,060
I ALSO BELIEVE YOU CAN LEARN

1669
01:07:11,127 --> 01:07:12,595
SOME OF THOSE BEHAVIORS.

1670
01:07:12,661 --> 01:07:16,298
IT IS THAT DEDICATION AND THAT

1671
01:07:16,365 --> 01:07:16,599
PERSISTENCE.

1672
01:07:16,665 --> 01:07:19,902
I WANT YOU AS A PLAYER IN THIS

1673
01:07:19,969 --> 01:07:24,373
GAME OF SCIENCE TO ASK

1674
01:07:24,440 --> 01:07:24,807
QUESTIONS.

1675
01:07:24,874 --> 01:07:26,909
AND IT IS TRUE THERE'S NO STUPID

1676
01:07:26,976 --> 01:07:27,309
QUESTION.

1677
01:07:27,376 --> 01:07:28,310
THE ONLY STUPID QUESTION IS THE

1678
01:07:28,377 --> 01:07:35,217
ONE THAT DOESN'T GET ASKED.

1679
01:07:35,284 --> 01:07:37,286
SO, BECOME A CONNOISSEUR OF HOW

1680
01:07:37,353 --> 01:07:39,054
TO FORMULATE THE QUESTION, HOW

1681
01:07:39,121 --> 01:07:40,322
TO EXECUTE THE QUESTION.

1682
01:07:40,389 --> 01:07:44,293
AND WHEN YOU'RE COMING UP WITH

1683
01:07:44,360 --> 01:07:46,162
YOUR RESEARCH QUESTIONS,

1684
01:07:46,228 --> 01:07:48,130
EXPLORATION, ALWAYS CONSIDER WHO

1685
01:07:48,197 --> 01:07:51,200
IS INCLUDED, WHO IS EXCLUDED.

1686
01:07:51,267 --> 01:07:53,269
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE ABOUT TODAY.

1687
01:07:53,335 --> 01:07:56,439
BECAUSE WE'VE HAD SO MANY

1688
01:07:56,505 --> 01:07:59,074
RESEARCH QUESTIONS ASKED AND

1689
01:07:59,141 --> 01:08:01,043
ANSWERED, BUT THERE WASN'T

1690
01:08:01,110 --> 01:08:03,245
ANYONE ELSE OUT THERE AT THE

1691
01:08:03,312 --> 01:08:04,547
TIME NECESSARILY ASKING.

1692
01:08:04,613 --> 01:08:10,252
SO IF WE EXPLORE THAT QUESTION,

1693
01:08:10,319 --> 01:08:13,956
WHEN WE ANSWER IT, IS IT LIKE

1694
01:08:14,023 --> 01:08:14,290
AIR?

1695
01:08:14,356 --> 01:08:15,491
IS IT EQUITABLE?

1696
01:08:15,558 --> 01:08:17,793
WHO IS INCLUDED?

1697
01:08:17,860 --> 01:08:18,794
WHO IS EXCLUDED?

1698
01:08:18,861 --> 01:08:23,632
I ALSO WANT YOU TO LEARN TO

1699
01:08:23,699 --> 01:08:24,567
WRITE BETTER.

1700
01:08:24,633 --> 01:08:26,869
DO YOU THINK THE QUARTERBACKS IN

1701
01:08:26,936 --> 01:08:29,171
THE SUPER BOWL JUST STARTED

1702
01:08:29,238 --> 01:08:31,807
LOBBING THE BALL?

1703
01:08:31,874 --> 01:08:34,443
NO, THEY HAD COACHES!

1704
01:08:34,510 --> 01:08:36,078
WAKE UP.

1705
01:08:36,145 --> 01:08:37,847
IF WE HAVE A PROBLEM, THE ONE

1706
01:08:37,913 --> 01:08:41,550
THING WE CAN ALWAYS DO IS LOB A

1707
01:08:41,617 --> 01:08:42,117
GOOD MANUSCRIPT AT IT.

1708
01:08:42,184 --> 01:08:45,921
I WANT YOU TO BE ABLE TO WRITE

1709
01:08:45,988 --> 01:08:46,388
WELL.

1710
01:08:46,455 --> 01:08:49,325
SO IF YOU WRITE WELL NOW, I WANT

1711
01:08:49,391 --> 01:08:51,727
YOU TO PRACTICE, I WANT YOU TO

1712
01:08:51,794 --> 01:08:55,464
STUDY, I WANT YOU TO BE COACHED,

1713
01:08:55,531 --> 01:08:57,867
TO BE EXCEPTIONAL IN YOUR

1714
01:08:57,933 --> 01:08:58,334
WRITING.

1715
01:08:58,400 --> 01:09:01,570
IT'S BECOMING A LOST ART.

1716
01:09:01,637 --> 01:09:02,872
PEOPLE ARE BARELY READING.

1717
01:09:02,938 --> 01:09:05,541
AND YOU KNOW AS A SCIENTIST, WE

1718
01:09:05,608 --> 01:09:08,143
KNOW HOW TO READ.

1719
01:09:08,210 --> 01:09:12,414
BUT WE ALSO MUST WRITE.

1720
01:09:12,481 --> 01:09:14,350
OUR CURRENCY REMAINS

1721
01:09:14,416 --> 01:09:16,886
PUBLICATIONS AND PRESENTATIONS.

1722
01:09:16,952 --> 01:09:20,623
SO, THINK ABOUT THE QUARTERBACK.

1723
01:09:20,689 --> 01:09:23,459
THEY PRACTICE LOBBING THE BALL.

1724
01:09:23,526 --> 01:09:24,426
PRACTICE WRITING THOSE

1725
01:09:24,493 --> 01:09:25,327
MANUSCRIPTS.

1726
01:09:25,394 --> 01:09:26,629
KEEP 'EM OUT THERE.

1727
01:09:26,695 --> 01:09:29,698
GET IT OVER THE GOAL LINE.

1728
01:09:29,765 --> 01:09:33,002
MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE

1729
01:09:33,068 --> 01:09:35,838
PROBLEMS THAT WE HAVE DECIDED TO

1730
01:09:35,905 --> 01:09:37,506
ADDRESS IN OUR OWN PARTICULAR

1731
01:09:37,573 --> 01:09:43,412
AREA OF THE INTEREST.

1732
01:09:43,479 --> 01:09:46,982
TWO MORE, LEARN TO WITHSTAND

1733
01:09:47,049 --> 01:09:47,249
CRITICISM.

1734
01:09:47,316 --> 01:09:48,217
IT'S ANOTHER ISM.

1735
01:09:48,284 --> 01:09:51,487
YOU'RE GOING TO GET CRITICIZED.

1736
01:09:51,554 --> 01:09:53,689
HELLO, WELCOME TO LIFE.

1737
01:09:53,756 --> 01:09:56,292
EVERYBODY IN HERE, RIGHT?

1738
01:09:56,358 --> 01:09:57,826
WE'VE GOTTEN CRITICISM.

1739
01:09:57,893 --> 01:09:59,695
SOME OF MY IDEAS THEY SAID, OH,

1740
01:09:59,762 --> 01:10:02,331
WE CAN'T DO IT NOW, WE DON'T

1741
01:10:02,398 --> 01:10:03,098
HAVE THE MONEY, TAYLOR.

1742
01:10:03,165 --> 01:10:05,834
WHEN ARE WE GOING TO GET MORE

1743
01:10:05,901 --> 01:10:06,802
MONEY?

1744
01:10:06,869 --> 01:10:08,671
IN THE NEXT BUDGET CYCLE SO I

1745
01:10:08,737 --> 01:10:12,274
SHOULD WAIT  ANOTHER YEAR.

1746
01:10:12,341 --> 01:10:14,476
NO, WE NEED TO DO CERTAIN THINGS

1747
01:10:14,543 --> 01:10:14,643
NOW.

1748
01:10:14,710 --> 01:10:16,645
NOW IS THE APPOINTED TIME.

1749
01:10:16,712 --> 01:10:18,847
THE LAST THING THAT I WANT TO

1750
01:10:18,914 --> 01:10:22,151
SAY TO YOU, MANY OF US HAVE BEEN

1751
01:10:22,217 --> 01:10:24,086
SOCIALIZED OVER TIME TO THINK

1752
01:10:24,153 --> 01:10:26,622
ABOUT OUR CAREERS AS A LADDER.

1753
01:10:26,689 --> 01:10:29,258
PROGRESSING UP AND UP AND UP.

1754
01:10:29,325 --> 01:10:31,994
WHAT I'VE LEARNED HERE AT THE

1755
01:10:32,061 --> 01:10:35,197
NIH, YOUR CAREER IS MORE LIKE A

1756
01:10:35,264 --> 01:10:36,832
JUNGLE GYM.

1757
01:10:36,899 --> 01:10:38,534
YOU CAN MOVE SIDEWAYS, THERE ARE

1758
01:10:38,601 --> 01:10:39,234
LATERAL MOVES.

1759
01:10:39,301 --> 01:10:41,403
IF YOU DON'T LIKE WHERE ARE YOU

1760
01:10:41,470 --> 01:10:43,405
NOW, I THINK YOU HAVE A FEW

1761
01:10:43,472 --> 01:10:47,109
OTHER INSTITUTES THAT YOU CAN

1762
01:10:47,176 --> 01:10:50,145
EXPLORE, TO FIND THE RIGHT PLACE

1763
01:10:50,212 --> 01:10:51,447
FOR YOU, THE RIGHT FIT.

1764
01:10:51,513 --> 01:10:53,115
YOU CAN GO TO THE STOP.

1765
01:10:53,182 --> 01:10:55,317
CAN YOU STAND ON THE TOP BARS

1766
01:10:55,384 --> 01:10:56,719
AND SURVEY THE LAND AROUND.

1767
01:10:56,785 --> 01:10:58,354
OR YOU CAN TURN THAT THING ALL

1768
01:10:58,420 --> 01:11:00,990
THE WAY UPSIDE DOWN ON THE

1769
01:11:01,056 --> 01:11:01,957
JUNGLE GYM.

1770
01:11:02,024 --> 01:11:05,694
SO DON'T THINK EVERYTHING HAS TO

1771
01:11:05,761 --> 01:11:07,563
BE LOCK-STEP IN GOING UP AND UP

1772
01:11:07,630 --> 01:11:08,664
IN YOUR CAREER.

1773
01:11:08,731 --> 01:11:09,632
IT'S THE JUNGLE GYM.

1774
01:11:09,698 --> 01:11:12,568
YOU CAN GO TO THE OTHER SIDE OF

1775
01:11:12,635 --> 01:11:15,971
THE JUNGLE GYM AND GAIN A WHOLE

1776
01:11:16,038 --> 01:11:18,841
NEW PERSPECTIVE.

1777
01:11:18,907 --> 01:11:21,377
BOTTOM LINE, BE FLEXIBLE, AND

1778
01:11:21,443 --> 01:11:23,712
NEVER FEEL BOXED IN.

1779
01:11:23,779 --> 01:11:25,514
YOUR CAREER IS MUCH MORE

1780
01:11:25,581 --> 01:11:28,450
EXPANSIVE THAN JUST A SIMPLE

1781
01:11:28,517 --> 01:11:28,684
LADDER.

1782
01:11:28,751 --> 01:11:32,655
YOU HAVE THE ENTIRE JUNGLE GYM

1783
01:11:32,721 --> 01:11:35,357
OF SCIENCE TO EXPLORE.

1784
01:11:35,424 --> 01:11:37,559
GOOD LUCK TO YOU, ASPIRING

1785
01:11:37,626 --> 01:11:38,827
SCIENTIST.

1786
01:11:38,894 --> 01:11:42,564
>> WOW, THANK YOU SO MUCH, DR.

1787
01:11:42,631 --> 01:11:42,965
HARDEN.

1788
01:11:43,032 --> 01:11:45,100
WE'RE GOING TO STOP OR END WITH

1789
01:11:45,167 --> 01:11:47,403
DR. OLDEN ON THIS QUESTION, AND

1790
01:11:47,469 --> 01:11:50,572
THEN WE'RE GOING TO TRANSFER

1791
01:11:50,639 --> 01:11:51,440
INTO AUDIENCE Q&A.

1792
01:11:51,507 --> 01:11:53,208
SO IF ANYONE HAS A QUESTION,

1793
01:11:53,275 --> 01:11:55,177
YOU'RE ABLE TO, IF YOU'RE IN THE

1794
01:11:55,244 --> 01:11:57,579
ROOM, COME TO THE MICS.

1795
01:11:57,646 --> 01:12:01,583
AND IF YOU'RE  ONLINE YOU CAN

1796
01:12:01,650 --> 01:12:03,185
PUT YOUR QUESTION IN THE CHAT.

1797
01:12:03,252 --> 01:12:05,587
DR. OLDEN, PLEASE EXCUSE ME.

1798
01:12:05,654 --> 01:12:07,656
>> ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU.

1799
01:12:07,723 --> 01:12:14,563
I GREW UP IN EXTREME POVERTY IN

1800
01:12:14,630 --> 01:12:17,633
TENNESSEE, ON A FARM, SON OF A

1801
01:12:17,700 --> 01:12:18,400
SHARECROPPER.

1802
01:12:18,467 --> 01:12:20,135
SHARE CROPPING, YOU KNOW WHAT

1803
01:12:20,202 --> 01:12:21,036
THAT IS.

1804
01:12:21,103 --> 01:12:26,175
AND THE FIRST THING I HAD TO DO

1805
01:12:26,241 --> 01:12:27,810
WAS DECIDE THAT I WAS GOING TO

1806
01:12:27,876 --> 01:12:29,478
BE SOMEBODY.

1807
01:12:29,545 --> 01:12:32,614
THAT WAS A CRITICAL DECISION.

1808
01:12:32,681 --> 01:12:35,050
IN OTHER WORDS, I WAS NOT GOING

1809
01:12:35,117 --> 01:12:38,554
TO BECOME WHAT WAS EXPECTED OF

1810
01:12:38,620 --> 01:12:42,691
ME BASED ON THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF

1811
01:12:42,758 --> 01:12:44,760
MY BIRTH AND UPBRINGING.

1812
01:12:44,827 --> 01:12:49,164
IN ORDER TO MAKE THAT A REALITY,

1813
01:12:49,231 --> 01:12:50,466
IT REQUIRED DETERMINATION.

1814
01:12:50,532 --> 01:12:52,101
AND I THINK MAKING A DECISION

1815
01:12:52,167 --> 01:12:57,239
THAT YOU'RE GOING TO BE A PLAYER

1816
01:12:57,306 --> 01:13:00,743
FIRST AND YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE

1817
01:13:00,809 --> 01:13:01,844
THE DETERMINATION TO SUCCEED,

1818
01:13:01,910 --> 01:13:04,346
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO ALLOW

1819
01:13:04,413 --> 01:13:07,082
ANYBODY, ANYTHING, TO PREVENT

1820
01:13:07,149 --> 01:13:09,952
YOU FROM ACHIEVING YOUR GOAL.

1821
01:13:10,018 --> 01:13:13,655
AND THEN YOU HAVE TO FOCUS ON

1822
01:13:13,722 --> 01:13:17,159
WHAT IT IS YOU HAVE CONTROL

1823
01:13:17,226 --> 01:13:17,493
OVER.

1824
01:13:17,559 --> 01:13:20,362
WHAT YOU THINK OF ME, DO YOU

1825
01:13:20,429 --> 01:13:21,864
LIKE ME DOESN'T MATTER.

1826
01:13:21,930 --> 01:13:25,501
THERE ARE THINGS THAT YOU CAN

1827
01:13:25,567 --> 01:13:29,071
CONTROL.

1828
01:13:29,138 --> 01:13:33,008
NOT THE KNOWLEDGE YOU HAVE ABOUT

1829
01:13:33,075 --> 01:13:34,977
A SUBJECT MATTER.

1830
01:13:35,043 --> 01:13:35,778
YOUR COMPETENCE, YOU CAN

1831
01:13:35,844 --> 01:13:37,279
CONTROL.

1832
01:13:37,346 --> 01:13:40,249
WHEN I WENT TO HIGH SCHOOL, WE

1833
01:13:40,315 --> 01:13:42,785
WERE BUSED FROM THE RURAL AREA

1834
01:13:42,851 --> 01:13:43,652
INTO URBAN AREA, AND THE

1835
01:13:43,719 --> 01:13:45,053
PERCEPTION OF THE PEOPLE FROM

1836
01:13:45,120 --> 01:13:49,224
THE RURAL AREA WAS THAT WE WERE

1837
01:13:49,291 --> 01:13:51,527
IGNORANT AND DUMB.

1838
01:13:51,593 --> 01:13:53,529
WELL, I ACCEPTED ONE OF THOSE,

1839
01:13:53,595 --> 01:13:55,597
AND THAT IS WE WERE IGNORANT.

1840
01:13:55,664 --> 01:14:00,002
WE HAD NOT HAD A GOOD EDUCATION.

1841
01:14:00,068 --> 01:14:01,103
BUT I FELT THAT ALL THE

1842
01:14:01,170 --> 01:14:04,072
KNOWLEDGE THAT THE OTHER KIDS

1843
01:14:04,139 --> 01:14:05,140
HAD WAS AVAILABLE TO ME.

1844
01:14:05,207 --> 01:14:06,909
I JUST HAD TO CATCH UP.

1845
01:14:06,975 --> 01:14:08,343
IT WAS AVAILABLE.

1846
01:14:08,410 --> 01:14:09,978
IT WAS OUT THERE.

1847
01:14:10,045 --> 01:14:13,582
SO I WORKED HARD ENOUGH TO CATCH

1848
01:14:13,649 --> 01:14:13,782
UP.

1849
01:14:13,849 --> 01:14:15,417
AND MAYBE PASSED A FEW OF THEM,

1850
01:14:15,484 --> 01:14:18,720
IF NOT MOST OF THEM.

1851
01:14:18,787 --> 01:14:19,655
BUT IT WAS DETERMINATION.

1852
01:14:19,721 --> 01:14:23,425
AND THEN THE FINAL THING I WOULD

1853
01:14:23,492 --> 01:14:27,930
SAY IS BE PRO-ACTIVE AND

1854
01:14:27,996 --> 01:14:29,998
AGGRESSIVE IN SEEKING MENTORS.

1855
01:14:30,065 --> 01:14:33,836
NONE OF THE MENTORS I HAD DID

1856
01:14:33,902 --> 01:14:40,843
THEY VOLUNTARILY COME TO ME AND

1857
01:14:40,909 --> 01:14:43,912
SAY, KEN, CAN I HELP YOU?

1858
01:14:43,979 --> 01:14:46,849
I WAS AGGRESSIVE AS AN AFRICAN

1859
01:14:46,915 --> 01:14:48,417
AMERICAN MALE.

1860
01:14:48,483 --> 01:14:49,051
THE PROFESSORS, DISTINGUISHED

1861
01:14:49,117 --> 01:14:51,587
PROFESSORS, THREE OF THEM AT

1862
01:14:51,653 --> 01:14:55,958
HARVARD, MY MENTORS, I WOULD

1863
01:14:56,024 --> 01:15:00,662
MEET THEM AT MEETINGS, HELLO,

1864
01:15:00,729 --> 01:15:02,297
I'M KEN OLDEN, I WORK ON

1865
01:15:02,364 --> 01:15:03,265
SO-AND-SO AND I'M INTERESTED IN

1866
01:15:03,332 --> 01:15:05,701
...

1867
01:15:05,767 --> 01:15:08,203
WHEN I BEGAN TO DO THAT AT

1868
01:15:08,270 --> 01:15:09,638
NATIONAL MEETINGS THEY WOULD BE

1869
01:15:09,705 --> 01:15:11,173
STARTLED, FIRST OF ALL, BUT

1870
01:15:11,240 --> 01:15:13,041
AFTER I WENT TO THE SAME PERSON

1871
01:15:13,108 --> 01:15:14,877
MEETING AFTER MEETING, YOU KNOW,

1872
01:15:14,943 --> 01:15:16,778
YEAR AFTER YEAR, IT WAS, OH, HI,

1873
01:15:16,845 --> 01:15:18,847
KEN, HOW ARE YOU DOING?

1874
01:15:18,914 --> 01:15:23,719
SO WHEN I NEEDED A FAVOR, WHEN I

1875
01:15:23,785 --> 01:15:25,087
NEEDED SOMEBODY WITH CLOUT TO

1876
01:15:25,153 --> 01:15:26,321
WRITE A LETTER, MAKE A PHONE

1877
01:15:26,388 --> 01:15:31,660
CALL FOR ME, THEY COULD DO THAT.

1878
01:15:34,263 --> 01:15:36,298
SO, AFTER BEING AT HARVARD 4 1/2

1879
01:15:36,365 --> 01:15:38,834
YEARS IN PHYSIOLOGY AND

1880
01:15:38,901 --> 01:15:42,971
BIOCHEMISTRY, I WANTED TO COME

1881
01:15:43,038 --> 01:15:43,939
TO NCI, NATIONAL CANCER

1882
01:15:44,006 --> 01:15:45,941
INSTITUTE TO WORK WITH IRA

1883
01:15:46,008 --> 01:15:46,808
PASTAN.

1884
01:15:46,875 --> 01:15:51,079
I WALKED UP AND TALKED TO A

1885
01:15:51,146 --> 01:15:54,683
PROFESSOR, BERNARD DAVIS.

1886
01:15:54,750 --> 01:15:55,250
MICROBIAL PHYSIOLOGY.

1887
01:15:55,317 --> 01:15:57,019
ASKED DR. DAVIS WOULD HE WRITE A

1888
01:15:57,085 --> 01:16:00,088
LETTER FOR ME TO DR. PASTAN.

1889
01:16:00,155 --> 01:16:02,257
DR.

1890
01:16:02,324 --> 01:16:03,926
DR. DAVIS WAS A MEMBER OF

1891
01:16:03,992 --> 01:16:05,160
NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES.

1892
01:16:05,227 --> 01:16:08,931
THE OTHER PERSON WHO WROTE THE

1893
01:16:08,997 --> 01:16:09,798
OTHER LETTER, DR. EUGENE

1894
01:16:09,865 --> 01:16:10,999
KENNEDY, ALSO NATIONAL ACADEMY

1895
01:16:11,066 --> 01:16:14,436
OF SCIENCE MEMBER.

1896
01:16:14,503 --> 01:16:16,305
AND IRA PASTAN IS A NATIONAL

1897
01:16:16,371 --> 01:16:17,940
ACADEMY OF SCIENCE MEMBER.

1898
01:16:18,006 --> 01:16:20,676
I KNEW THEM WELL ENOUGH TO ASK

1899
01:16:20,742 --> 01:16:22,110
FOR A LETTER.

1900
01:16:22,177 --> 01:16:25,948
AND THEY WERE HAPPY TO WRITE A

1901
01:16:26,014 --> 01:16:27,249
LETTER TO SUPPORT MY

1902
01:16:27,316 --> 01:16:29,351
APPLICATION, WHEREVER I WAS

1903
01:16:29,418 --> 01:16:30,552
GOING, BECAUSE THEY KNEW ME.

1904
01:16:30,619 --> 01:16:33,588
OVER THE YEARS I STOPPED THEM IN

1905
01:16:33,655 --> 01:16:36,458
THE HALLWAY AND TALKED TO THEM

1906
01:16:36,525 --> 01:16:38,427
ABOUT MY RESEARCH, SO THEY KNEW

1907
01:16:38,493 --> 01:16:42,230
I WAS SERIOUS ABOUT SCIENCE AND

1908
01:16:42,297 --> 01:16:47,736
I KNEW WHAT -- I KNEW SCIENCE.

1909
01:16:47,803 --> 01:16:50,238
SO, THERE ARE PEOPLE IN THIS

1910
01:16:50,305 --> 01:16:52,441
ROOM, I GUESS I SHOULDN'T SAY,

1911
01:16:52,507 --> 01:16:55,377
THAT I'VE MENTORED, AND I

1912
01:16:55,444 --> 01:16:57,879
REMEMBER SHE APPROACHED ME IN A

1913
01:16:57,946 --> 01:17:01,216
HALLWAY, MANY YEARS AGO, WHEN I

1914
01:17:01,283 --> 01:17:02,718
WAS AT CUNY, AS FOUNDING DEAN OF

1915
01:17:02,784 --> 01:17:07,556
THE SCHOOL OF PUBLIC HEALTH, TO

1916
01:17:07,622 --> 01:17:08,190
INTRODUCE HERSELF.

1917
01:17:08,256 --> 01:17:11,360
I AM NOT A FAN OF GROUP

1918
01:17:11,426 --> 01:17:11,626
MENTORING.

1919
01:17:11,693 --> 01:17:13,895
IN OTHER WORDS, THERE ARE GROUPS

1920
01:17:13,962 --> 01:17:16,398
THAT GO IN AND BRING IN 15 KIDS

1921
01:17:16,465 --> 01:17:19,701
AND TALK TO THEM ABOUT DO THIS,

1922
01:17:19,768 --> 01:17:24,973
DO THAT.

1923
01:17:25,040 --> 01:17:26,608
MY MENTORING, I HAVE TWO STARS,

1924
01:17:26,675 --> 01:17:28,810
THEY HAVE DONE WELL, BUT BOTH OF

1925
01:17:28,877 --> 01:17:29,778
THEM CAME TO ME.

1926
01:17:29,845 --> 01:17:31,780
AND I'LL TELL YOU THIS ONE STORY

1927
01:17:31,847 --> 01:17:34,383
AND I'LL END, ABOUT MENTORING.

1928
01:17:34,449 --> 01:17:38,153
A YOUNG LADY WHO WAS A STUDENT

1929
01:17:38,220 --> 01:17:40,288
AT SIDWELL FRIENDS IN D.C.,

1930
01:17:40,355 --> 01:17:42,391
WHICH IS WHERE BARACK OBAMA'S

1931
01:17:42,457 --> 01:17:46,228
DAUGHTERS WENT TO, I BELIEVE.

1932
01:17:46,294 --> 01:17:47,963
SHE CAME TO ME, FIRST AND SECOND

1933
01:17:48,030 --> 01:17:50,599
YEAR THAT I WAS DIRECTOR,

1934
01:17:50,665 --> 01:17:51,466
SCIENTIFIC DIRECTOR AT THAT

1935
01:17:51,533 --> 01:17:54,970
POINT OF THE CANCER CENTER AT

1936
01:17:55,037 --> 01:17:55,737
HOWARD.

1937
01:17:55,804 --> 01:17:57,272
SHE CAME TO ME, YOUNG BLACK

1938
01:17:57,339 --> 01:17:58,707
WOMAN, AND ASKED ME IF SHE COULD

1939
01:17:58,774 --> 01:18:01,843
COME AND WORK IN MY LABORATORY.

1940
01:18:01,910 --> 01:18:06,114
AND I WAS AS I AM NOW A GRUMPY

1941
01:18:06,181 --> 01:18:07,883
OLD MAN, AND I HAD EVERYBODY IN

1942
01:18:07,949 --> 01:18:08,884
MY LABORATORY, I DIDN'T HAVE

1943
01:18:08,950 --> 01:18:12,154
SPACE FOR HER, DIDN'T HAVE TIME

1944
01:18:12,220 --> 01:18:12,587
FOR HER.

1945
01:18:12,654 --> 01:18:14,456
SO, I TRIED TO PUT HER OFF BUT

1946
01:18:14,523 --> 01:18:15,991
SHE WOULDN'T ALLOW ME TO.

1947
01:18:16,058 --> 01:18:17,392
THANK GOODNESS SHE DIDN'T.

1948
01:18:17,459 --> 01:18:19,928
I SAT DOWN WITH HER THAT DAY AND

1949
01:18:19,995 --> 01:18:21,763
TALKED WITH HER.

1950
01:18:21,830 --> 01:18:23,632
AND I BROUGHT HER, AND SHE

1951
01:18:23,698 --> 01:18:25,700
CONVINCED ME SHE WAS WORTH

1952
01:18:25,767 --> 01:18:26,701
INVESTING IN.

1953
01:18:26,768 --> 01:18:29,104
SHE WORKED WITH ME TWO OR THREE

1954
01:18:29,171 --> 01:18:29,971
SUMMERS.

1955
01:18:30,038 --> 01:18:31,873
SHE GOT ADMITTED TO YALE

1956
01:18:31,940 --> 01:18:33,041
UNIVERSITY.

1957
01:18:33,108 --> 01:18:34,476
I GOT HER ADMITTED, I TOLD HER

1958
01:18:34,543 --> 01:18:39,181
SHE SHOULD WORK IN A FRIEND'S

1959
01:18:39,247 --> 01:18:42,150
LABORATORY, JIM JAMISON'S

1960
01:18:42,217 --> 01:18:43,919
LABORATORY, SHE WORKED IN HIS

1961
01:18:43,985 --> 01:18:46,588
LABORATORY, THEN I TOLD HER TO

1962
01:18:46,655 --> 01:18:47,722
COME TO IRA PASTAN'S LAB.

1963
01:18:47,789 --> 01:18:50,926
I SAID WHEN I WRITE A BETTER,

1964
01:18:50,992 --> 01:18:51,927
PEOPLE WILL -- YOU'RE AFRICAN

1965
01:18:51,993 --> 01:18:52,994
AMERICAN, I'M AN AFRICAN

1966
01:18:53,061 --> 01:18:56,598
AMERICAN, WE NEED SOMEONE ELSE.

1967
01:18:56,665 --> 01:18:57,833
SHE DID THAT.

1968
01:18:57,899 --> 01:18:59,601
THEN WHEN SHE FINISHED MEDICAL

1969
01:18:59,668 --> 01:19:02,971
SCHOOL, SHE WENT TO WORK WITH

1970
01:19:03,038 --> 01:19:05,707
LANCE LIOTTA HERE IN PATHOLOGY,

1971
01:19:05,774 --> 01:19:09,111
SHE IS NOW FULL PROFESSOR IN

1972
01:19:09,177 --> 01:19:10,745
PATHOLOGY AT M.D. ANDERSON.

1973
01:19:10,812 --> 01:19:12,047
THAT'S THE KIND OF MENTORING

1974
01:19:12,114 --> 01:19:15,350
THAT MATTERS.

1975
01:19:15,417 --> 01:19:18,053
WHEN I CAN DO -- PICK UP THE

1976
01:19:18,120 --> 01:19:20,355
PHONE AND SAY, ABSOLUTELY,

1977
01:19:20,422 --> 01:19:22,657
UNEQUIVOCALLY, THIS IS A PERSON

1978
01:19:22,724 --> 01:19:25,060
THAT I WOULD INVEST, YOU CANNOT

1979
01:19:25,127 --> 01:19:26,595
GO WRONG, YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE

1980
01:19:26,661 --> 01:19:27,028
LONG.

1981
01:19:27,095 --> 01:19:29,698
THAT'S ALL YOU NEED SAY.

1982
01:19:29,764 --> 01:19:32,501
AND THAT WORKS.

1983
01:19:32,567 --> 01:19:33,635
SO BE AGGRESSIVE.

1984
01:19:33,702 --> 01:19:35,470
MAKE PEOPLE KNOW WHO YOU ARE.

1985
01:19:35,537 --> 01:19:38,874
AND THAT YOU ARE SERIOUS ABOUT

1986
01:19:38,940 --> 01:19:39,941
SCIENCE OR WHATEVER PROFESSION

1987
01:19:40,008 --> 01:19:43,612
YOU'RE INTERESTED IN GOING IN.

1988
01:19:45,847 --> 01:19:48,049

01:19:48,116 --> 01:19:51,219

>> YES.

2014
01:20:51,179 --> 01:20:54,783

01:21:30,385 --> 01:21:31,820
CENTER SO I WILL COMMENT.

2030
01:21:31,886 --> 01:21:35,423
AND THEN DIRECTOR OF NIEHS

2031
01:21:35,490 --> 01:21:36,858
SHOULD BE ABLE TO SAY SOMETHING

2032
01:21:36,925 --> 01:21:37,392
ABOUT THAT.

2033
01:21:37,459 --> 01:21:39,594
WELL, WHEN I SIGNED ON AS

2034
01:21:39,661 --> 01:21:42,564
DIRECTOR OF NIEHS, AND BEFORE

2035
01:21:42,631 --> 01:21:49,170
THAT, 1991, I WAS FORTUNATE

2036
01:21:49,237 --> 01:21:51,106
THERE WERE TWO MAJOR ISSUES THAT

2037
01:21:51,172 --> 01:21:54,743
WAS ON THE NATIONAL SCENE.

2038
01:21:54,809 --> 01:21:56,678
ONE WAS ISOLATING THE HUMAN

2039
01:21:56,745 --> 01:21:58,013
GENOME, CLONING THE HUMAN

2040
01:21:58,079 --> 01:21:58,280
GENOME.

2041
01:21:58,346 --> 01:22:00,849
THE OTHER WAS ENVIRONMENTAL

2042
01:22:00,915 --> 01:22:04,452
JUSTICE MOVEMENT WAS CURRENT.

2043
01:22:04,519 --> 01:22:06,121
AND ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE

2044
01:22:06,187 --> 01:22:13,662
BASICALLY MEANS THAT RACIAL AND

2045
01:22:13,728 --> 01:22:16,598
ETHNIC MINORITIES LIVE IN

2046
01:22:16,665 --> 01:22:20,769
ENVIRONMENTS THAT ARE

2047
01:22:20,835 --> 01:22:21,903
DISPROPORTIONATELY IMPACTED BY

2048
01:22:21,970 --> 01:22:25,607
INDUSTRIAL POLLUTION AND TOXIC

2049
01:22:25,674 --> 01:22:25,874
CHEMICALS.

2050
01:22:25,940 --> 01:22:32,714
AS A CONSEQUENCE OF THAT, THESE

2051
01:22:32,781 --> 01:22:35,750
POPULATIONS HAVE MORE DISABILITY

2052
01:22:35,817 --> 01:22:39,321
AND MORTALITY, SUCH AS CANCER,

2053
01:22:39,387 --> 01:22:44,859
RESULTING FROM THOSE EXPOSURES.

2054
01:22:44,926 --> 01:22:46,728
SO, OUT DATED TECHNOLOGY ITSELF,

2055
01:22:46,795 --> 01:22:50,098
IN AND OF ITSELF IS NOT TOXIC.

2056
01:22:50,165 --> 01:22:54,169
THERE'S A LOT OF OUTDATED

2057
01:22:54,235 --> 01:22:56,204
TECHNOLOGIES THAT ARE PROBABLY

2058
01:22:56,271 --> 01:22:58,006
WITHOUT HARM EXCEPT ON THE

2059
01:22:58,073 --> 01:23:01,409
ECONOMICS OF THAT COMPANY.

2060
01:23:01,476 --> 01:23:04,813
BUT THERE ARE OTHER CHEMICALS,

2061
01:23:04,879 --> 01:23:09,617
TECHNOLOGIES, THAT DO IMPACT THE

2062
01:23:09,684 --> 01:23:12,654
COMMUNITY AND LEAD TO

2063
01:23:12,721 --> 01:23:17,025
DISPARITIES IN HEALTH.

2064
01:23:17,092 --> 01:23:20,328
SO, IT DEPENDS ON WHAT THE

2065
01:23:20,395 --> 01:23:25,667
TECHNOLOGY IS AND WHAT THE

2066
01:23:25,734 --> 01:23:27,736
CONTROLS THAT EXIST TO PREVENT

2067
01:23:27,802 --> 01:23:32,674
NEGATIVE HEALTH IMPACTS.

2068
01:23:32,741 --> 01:23:35,877
SO, THAT, AS STATED, I CAN'T

2069
01:23:35,944 --> 01:23:37,946
COMMENT BEYOND THAT.

2070
01:23:38,012 --> 01:23:41,216
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH, DR. OLDEN.

2071
01:23:41,282 --> 01:23:42,517
WOULD ANYONE LIKE TO OR WE CAN

2072
01:23:42,584 --> 01:23:44,719
MOVE TO THE NEXT QUESTION?

2073
01:23:44,786 --> 01:23:45,153
OKAY.

2074
01:23:45,220 --> 01:23:47,122
LET'S

2075
01:23:47,188 --> 01:23:49,691
LET'S MOVE TO THE NEXT QUESTION.

2076
01:23:49,758 --> 01:23:51,059
>> WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE TO

2077
01:23:51,126 --> 01:23:54,129
SOMEONE LIKE ME WHO RECENTLY

2078
01:23:54,195 --> 01:23:56,197
BEGAN A CAREER AT THE NIH AND IS

2079
01:23:56,264 --> 01:23:59,200
FACING SOME OF THE SAME

2080
01:23:59,267 --> 01:24:01,703
STRUGGLES RELATED TO RACE AND

2081
01:24:01,770 --> 01:24:04,806
GENDER THAT YOU FACED?

2082
01:24:09,444 --> 01:24:13,081
>> COULD YOU REPEAT THE

2083
01:24:13,148 --> 01:24:13,481
QUESTION?

2084
01:24:13,548 --> 01:24:15,850
>> HAPPY WHO.

2085
01:24:15,917 --> 01:24:17,585
WHAT ADVICE WHO YOU GIVE TO

2086
01:24:17,652 --> 01:24:21,356
SOMEONE LIKE ME WHO RECENTLY

2087
01:24:21,423 --> 01:24:23,391
BEGAN A CAREER AT THE NIH AND IS

2088
01:24:23,458 --> 01:24:24,926
FACING SOME OF THE SAME

2089
01:24:24,993 --> 01:24:27,128
STRUGGLES RELATED TO RACE AND

2090
01:24:27,195 --> 01:24:29,898
GENDER THAT YOU FACED?

2091
01:24:31,666 --> 01:24:35,336
>> SO I'LL TAKE A STAB AT THAT.

2092
01:24:35,403 --> 01:24:39,607
RACE AND GENDER.

2093
01:24:39,674 --> 01:24:41,609
RACE AND GENDER ARE ISSUES THAT

2094
01:24:41,676 --> 01:24:44,212
YOU WILL PROBABLY HAVE ALL OF

2095
01:24:44,279 --> 01:24:45,413
YOUR LIFE, WHATEVER GENDER YOU

2096
01:24:45,480 --> 01:24:48,483
ARE, ARE YOU THAT GENDER,

2097
01:24:48,550 --> 01:24:49,484
WHATEVER RACE YOU ARE, HAVEN'T

2098
01:24:49,551 --> 01:24:50,785
BEEN ABLE TO CHANGE THAT.

2099
01:24:50,852 --> 01:24:53,755
SO YOU'RE GOING TO BE THAT RACE.

2100
01:24:53,822 --> 01:24:55,290
SO, LET'S KIND OF RAISE OUR

2101
01:24:55,356 --> 01:24:57,792
SIGHTS A LITTLE BIT.

2102
01:24:57,859 --> 01:25:00,328
REMEMBER MY ANALOGY OF THE

2103
01:25:00,395 --> 01:25:01,429
FOOTBALL FIELD.

2104
01:25:01,496 --> 01:25:03,498
I ASSUME THAT, AND I KNOW WHAT

2105
01:25:03,565 --> 01:25:04,365
ASSUMPTIONS MEAN SO YOU DON'T

2106
01:25:04,432 --> 01:25:07,435
HAVE TO TELL ME THAT.

2107
01:25:07,502 --> 01:25:09,204
BUT YOU'RE HERE AT THE NIH.

2108
01:25:09,270 --> 01:25:10,405
I BELIEVE YOU'RE HERE FOR A

2109
01:25:10,472 --> 01:25:10,939
REASON.

2110
01:25:11,005 --> 01:25:15,677
THAT YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO

2111
01:25:15,743 --> 01:25:17,312
CONSIDER, AND SOMETHING TO

2112
01:25:17,378 --> 01:25:17,745
ACCOMPLISH.

2113
01:25:17,812 --> 01:25:19,080
THINK ABOUT THE GOALS.

2114
01:25:19,147 --> 01:25:20,515
WHY DID YOU COME HERE?

2115
01:25:20,582 --> 01:25:22,016
DO YOU STILL THINK THIS IS A

2116
01:25:22,083 --> 01:25:26,955
PLACE WHERE YOU CAN REACH THAT

2117
01:25:27,021 --> 01:25:27,722
GOAL?

2118
01:25:27,789 --> 01:25:29,557
IF SO, REMEMBER MY ADVICE

2119
01:25:29,624 --> 01:25:30,358
REGARDING CRITICISM.

2120
01:25:30,425 --> 01:25:32,193
YOU'RE GOING TO ALWAYS BE

2121
01:25:32,260 --> 01:25:32,727
CRITICIZED.

2122
01:25:32,794 --> 01:25:34,496
SO WE'RE GOING TO GET OVER THAT

2123
01:25:34,562 --> 01:25:37,232
AND MOVE AROUND IT.

2124
01:25:37,298 --> 01:25:39,968
NOT IGNORING IT, NOT SAYING IT

2125
01:25:40,034 --> 01:25:41,236
DOESN'T HURT.

2126
01:25:41,302 --> 01:25:43,238
BUT YOU LEARN TO DEAL WITH THE

2127
01:25:43,304 --> 01:25:43,705
CRITICISM.

2128
01:25:43,771 --> 01:25:48,743
HOW DO YOU LEARN TO DEAL WITH

2129
01:25:48,810 --> 01:25:49,077
THAT?

2130
01:25:49,143 --> 01:25:52,313
YOU LEARN BY, HERE AT THE NIH,

2131
01:25:52,380 --> 01:25:56,818
YOU LEARN BY GIVING FACTUAL

2132
01:25:56,885 --> 01:25:59,120
RESPONSES.

2133
01:25:59,187 --> 01:26:01,623
EQUIP YOURSELF WITH APPROPRIATE

2134
01:26:01,689 --> 01:26:05,226
BACKGROUND AND DATA, AND STAND

2135
01:26:05,293 --> 01:26:05,560
STRONG.

2136
01:26:05,627 --> 01:26:07,095
AGAIN IN FOOTBALL, I DON'T KNOW

2137
01:26:07,161 --> 01:26:08,763
IF YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH THIS

2138
01:26:08,830 --> 01:26:12,500
STRATEGY WHERE SOMETIMES A TEAM

2139
01:26:12,567 --> 01:26:17,105
WILL TRY TO GET YOU TO JUMP

2140
01:26:17,171 --> 01:26:19,107
OFFSIDES TO GET PENALIZED.

2141
01:26:19,173 --> 01:26:21,776
THAT CAN HAPPEN WITH MINORITIES.

2142
01:26:21,843 --> 01:26:22,343
DR. PINN MENTIONED

2143
01:26:22,410 --> 01:26:22,744
MICROAGGRESSIONED.

2144
01:26:22,810 --> 01:26:24,779
THEY CAN MAKE YOU JUMP OFFSIDES.

2145
01:26:24,846 --> 01:26:28,049
WHEN YOU JUMP OFFSIDE YOU GET

2146
01:26:28,116 --> 01:26:28,583
PENALIZED.

2147
01:26:28,650 --> 01:26:31,085
DON'T JUMP.

2148
01:26:31,152 --> 01:26:34,822
I'M ENCOURAGING YOU TODAY TO

2149
01:26:34,889 --> 01:26:35,590
STAND FIRM.

2150
01:26:35,657 --> 01:26:37,559
BE COMMITTED TO THE SCIENCE THAT

2151
01:26:37,625 --> 01:26:41,496
YOU CAME HERE TO DO.

2152
01:26:41,563 --> 01:26:43,598
SURROUND YOURSELF WITH MENTORS

2153
01:26:43,665 --> 01:26:44,999
THAT WILL HELP YOU.

2154
01:26:45,066 --> 01:26:46,901
AND YOU HAVE FOUR PEOPLE HERE IN

2155
01:26:46,968 --> 01:26:48,736
FRONT OF YOU, I KNOW YOU MAY NOT

2156
01:26:48,803 --> 01:26:52,473
KNOW HOW TO GET IN TOUCH WITH

2157
01:26:52,540 --> 01:26:54,542
ME, BUT THERE'S DR. BEVERLY

2158
01:26:54,609 --> 01:26:56,077
WATKINS HERE AT THE NIH.

2159
01:26:56,144 --> 01:26:58,846
SHE KNOWS HOW TO REACH EACH OF

2160
01:26:58,913 --> 01:26:59,180
US.

2161
01:26:59,247 --> 01:27:01,783
AND I GUESS I MAKE THIS OUTREACH

2162
01:27:01,849 --> 01:27:02,550
TO YOU TODAY.

2163
01:27:02,617 --> 01:27:04,519
IF YOU NEED SOME SUPPORT, YOU

2164
01:27:04,586 --> 01:27:07,255
NEED SOMEBODY TO LISTEN, YOU

2165
01:27:07,322 --> 01:27:09,657
NEED SOME GUIDANCE, I'M YOUR

2166
01:27:09,724 --> 01:27:10,992
COACH ON THE SIDELINES.

2167

COME TO ME.

2168
01:27:12,460 --> 01:27:14,395
I'M READY TO HELP PLAY THIS GAME

2169
01:27:14,462 --> 01:27:16,798
OF SCIENCE WITH YOU.

2170
01:27:16,864 --> 01:27:17,432
HANG IN THERE.

2171
01:27:17,498 --> 01:27:20,234
WE'RE HERE FOR YOU.

2172
01:27:22,770 --> 01:27:24,872
>> THANK YOU, DR. HARDEN.

2173
01:27:24,939 --> 01:27:26,641
WE HAVE A QUESTION IN THE

2174
01:27:26,708 --> 01:27:30,445
AUDIENCE.

2175
01:27:30,511 --> 01:27:32,547
>> FIRST OF ALL, THANK YOU ALL

EXPERTISE AND YOUR WISDOM.

2178
01:27:36,017 --> 01:27:37,785
THIS IS JUST AMAZING.

2179
01:27:37,852 --> 01:27:41,322
SO, I LOVE THE FOOTBALL ANALOGY.

2180
01:27:41,389 --> 01:27:43,291
SO, LAYING FOUNDATION FOR MY

2181
01:27:43,358 --> 01:27:46,794
QUESTION, SO TEAM SCIENCE, WE'VE

2182
01:27:46,861 --> 01:27:49,764
GOT THE SCIENTIFIC PART, THE

2183
01:27:49,831 --> 01:27:50,965
SCIENTIFIC PLAYERS AND I

2184
01:27:51,032 --> 01:27:54,969
REMEMBER THE OTHER -- I

2185
01:27:55,036 --> 01:27:56,104
REPRESENT THE OTHER ASPECT, THE

2186
01:27:56,170 --> 01:27:56,371
PROGRAMS.

2187
01:27:56,437 --> 01:27:57,505
IN HEALTH RESEARCH IN GENERAL

2188
01:27:57,572 --> 01:27:59,907
THE FOOTBALL FIELD IS LAID ON

2189
01:27:59,974 --> 01:28:00,341
WHAT?

2190
01:28:00,408 --> 01:28:00,675
FUNDING.

2191
01:28:00,742 --> 01:28:02,777
SO, THE SPACE THAT I WORK IN

2192
01:28:02,844 --> 01:28:04,946
WHICH LEADS UP TO THE QUESTION

2193
01:28:05,013 --> 01:28:09,017
IS I CURRENTLY WORK WITHIN THE

2194
01:28:09,083 --> 01:28:09,550

MINORITY-SERVING INSTITUTIONS.

2196
01:28:10,985 --> 01:28:12,820
RIGHT NOW SPECIFICALLY WE'RE

2197
01:28:12,887 --> 01:28:14,255
FOCUSED ON STRENGTHENING A

2198
01:28:14,322 --> 01:28:16,357
PARTNERSHIP WITH HOWARD

BUT IN GENERAL, AS A PROGRAM

2201
01:28:18,926 --> 01:28:22,363
PERSON, I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT

2202
01:28:22,430 --> 01:28:25,433
ANY WISDOM OR STRATEGIES YOU MAY

2203
01:28:25,500 --> 01:28:27,502

01:28:43,618 --> 01:28:44,919
A WHOLE DIFFERENT SPACE.

2213
01:28:44,986 --> 01:28:47,021
SO WE'RE WORKING FROM THE NIH TO

2214
01:28:47,088 --> 01:28:50,892
SAY, HEY, WE HAVE FUNDING

2215
01:28:50,958 --> 01:28:51,225
OPPORTUNITIES.

2216
01:28:51,292 --> 01:28:54,696
BUT WE NEED SOME MORE WISDOM

2217
01:28:54,762 --> 01:28:57,231
AROUND STRATEGIES TO ENGAGE AND

2218
01:28:57,298 --> 01:28:58,766
REALLY PENETRATE WITHIN THOSE

2219
01:28:58,833 --> 01:28:59,634
ORGANIZATIONS SO THAT THEY CAN

2220
01:28:59,701 --> 01:29:01,836
RISE UP AND GET THE FUNDING TO

2221
01:29:01,903 --> 01:29:05,540
DO THE RESEARCH BECAUSE AS YOU

2222
01:29:05,606 --> 01:29:06,974
ALL KNOW, WORKING WITH

2223
01:29:07,041 --> 01:29:07,742
MINORITY-SERVING INSTITUTIONS

2224
01:29:07,809 --> 01:29:10,244
AND HBCUs IS SO IMPORTANT TO

2225
01:29:10,311 --> 01:29:11,345
HEALTH DISPARITIES BECAUSE THEY

2226
01:29:11,412 --> 01:29:13,514
NEED HAVE EQUAL OPPORTUNITY TO

2227
01:29:13,581 --> 01:29:14,582
GET THE INFRASTRUCTURE FUNDING

2228
01:29:14,649 --> 01:29:17,018
TO DO THE RESEARCH.

2229
01:29:17,085 --> 01:29:18,453
SO THAT'S MY QUESTION, THAT'S A

2230
01:29:18,519 --> 01:29:20,188
BIG QUESTION, AND I'LL TAKE YOU

2231
01:29:20,254 --> 01:29:21,222
UP ON THE MENTORSHIP OFFER.

2232
01:29:21,289 --> 01:29:22,623
SO WE CAN BUILD UP.

2233
01:29:22,690 --> 01:29:25,993
BUT JUST AT A VERY HIGH LEVEL,

2234
01:29:26,060 --> 01:29:28,196
ANY STRATEGIES THAT YOU HAVE FOR

2235
01:29:28,262 --> 01:29:30,732
ENGAGING AND WORKING WITH

2236
01:29:30,798 --> 01:29:31,566
HBCUs AND MINORITY-SERVING

2237
01:29:31,632 --> 01:29:32,934
INSTITUTIONS SO THEY RISE UP TO

2238
01:29:33,000 --> 01:29:36,204
THE CALL TO APPLY FOR FUNDING TO

2239
01:29:36,270 --> 01:29:38,806
DO THEIR RESEARCH?

2240
01:29:42,744 --> 01:29:47,081
>> SURE, THAT'S A REALLY GREAT

2241
01:29:47,148 --> 01:29:47,348
QUESTION.

2242
01:29:47,415 --> 01:29:49,383
THERE'S REALLY A WINDOW OF

2243
01:29:49,450 --> 01:29:52,153
OPPORTUNITY RIGHT NOW REGARDING

2244
01:29:52,220 --> 01:29:56,090
THE ENGAGEMENT OF

2245
01:29:56,157 --> 01:29:58,793
MINORITY-SERVING INSTITUTIONS.

2246
01:29:58,860 --> 01:30:04,298
THERE'S MUCH MORE INTEREST, YOU

2247
01:30:04,365 --> 01:30:06,801
KNOW, IN REALLY SUPPORTING THE

2248
01:30:06,868 --> 01:30:08,436
INFRASTRUCTURE AND CAPACITY OUT

2249
01:30:08,503 --> 01:30:10,772
THERE IN COMMUNITIES.

2250
01:30:10,838 --> 01:30:11,839
AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, THERE'S

2251
01:30:11,906 --> 01:30:15,676
THIS WHOLE AREA OF COMMUNITY

2252
01:30:15,743 --> 01:30:17,411
ENGAGED RESEARCH, IT'S REALLY

2253
01:30:17,478 --> 01:30:19,714
HAVING A TAILWIND RIGHT NOW

2254
01:30:19,781 --> 01:30:21,349
THROUGHOUT MANY OF THE

2255
01:30:21,415 --> 01:30:24,318
INSTITUTES AT NIH.

2256
01:30:24,385 --> 01:30:25,486
THERE'S ALSO A RECOGNITION THAT

2257
01:30:25,553 --> 01:30:28,790
THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN IN A VACUUM.

2258
01:30:28,856 --> 01:30:30,558
YOU HAVE TO HAVE CERTAIN

2259
01:30:30,625 --> 01:30:33,161
CAPACITY TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT.

2260
01:30:33,227 --> 01:30:33,828
SO THERE'S SEVERAL INITIATIVES

2261
01:30:33,895 --> 01:30:36,164
THAT ARE GOING ON RIGHT NOW,

2262
01:30:36,230 --> 01:30:38,966
VERY BIG ONE HAVING TO DO WITH

2263
01:30:39,033 --> 01:30:41,102
THE OFFICE OF DATA SCIENCE

2264
01:30:41,169 --> 01:30:46,674
STRATEGY, TO HELP BUILD THE DATA

2265
01:30:46,741 --> 01:30:48,743
SCIENCE CAPACITY IN HBCUs AND

2266
01:30:48,810 --> 01:30:51,379
OTHER MINORITY-SERVING

2267
01:30:51,445 --> 01:30:52,079
INSTITUTIONS.

2268
01:30:52,146 --> 01:30:56,484
THEY MADE INVESTMENTS OVER

2269
01:30:56,551 --> 01:30:57,418
SEVERAL UNIVERSITIES, HOWARD

2270
01:30:57,485 --> 01:31:01,122
UNIVERSITY AND MOREHOUSE AS

2271
01:31:01,189 --> 01:31:01,422
WELL.

2272
01:31:01,489 --> 01:31:03,391
AS WE THINK THROUGH HOW DO WE

2273
01:31:03,457 --> 01:31:04,959
IMPLEMENT INTERVENTIONS OUT

2274
01:31:05,026 --> 01:31:07,662
THERE IN COMMUNITIES, WHO ARE

2275
01:31:07,728 --> 01:31:08,896
THE LOGICAL PARTNERS IN THAT

2276
01:31:08,963 --> 01:31:09,564
TYPE OF RESEARCH?

2277
01:31:09,630 --> 01:31:16,337
AND WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE TO

2278
01:31:16,404 --> 01:31:18,339
BE ABLE TO IMPLEMENT, THAT'S

2279
01:31:18,406 --> 01:31:20,942
GOING TO HAVE A CHANGE OUT THERE

2280
01:31:21,008 --> 01:31:24,212
IN THE COMMUNITIES?

2281
01:31:24,278 --> 01:31:27,615
AND THESE ORGANIZATIONS HAVE

2282
01:31:27,682 --> 01:31:28,716
BEEN COMPLETELY UNDERFUNDED

2283
01:31:28,783 --> 01:31:32,453
HISTORICALLY, HAVE BEEN

2284
01:31:32,520 --> 01:31:35,056
NEGLECTED AND OVERLOOKED

2285
01:31:35,122 --> 01:31:35,389
HISTORICALLY.

2286
01:31:35,456 --> 01:31:37,892
BUT NOW STARTING TO BE,

2287
01:31:37,959 --> 01:31:38,559
STARTING, NOT GOING TO

2288
01:31:38,626 --> 01:31:42,296
OVERPROMISE, I'M GOING TO

2289
01:31:42,363 --> 01:31:45,533
UNDERPROMISE AND OVERDELIVER

2290
01:31:45,600 --> 01:31:47,435
HOPEFULLY, BUT THAT THEY ARE

2291
01:31:47,501 --> 01:31:50,805
VERY VALUABLE ASSETS IN WHAT NIH

2292
01:31:50,872 --> 01:31:52,907
IS REALLY TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH.

2293
01:31:52,974 --> 01:31:55,076
SO, WHAT I WOULD SAY TO YOU

2294
01:31:55,142 --> 01:31:58,145
VERY, VERY SPECIFICALLY IS THAT

2295
01:31:58,212 --> 01:32:00,214
THERE ARE SEVERAL INSTITUTES

2296
01:32:00,281 --> 01:32:04,819
RIGHT NOW, YOU KNOW, WHO ARE

2297
01:32:04,886 --> 01:32:08,456
FOCUSING A LOT OF TIME, EFFORT,

2298
01:32:08,522 --> 01:32:12,894
AND RESOURCES TOWARDS THAT.

2299
01:32:12,960 --> 01:32:17,732
NIMHD, NHLBI, AND WE NEED TO

2300
01:32:17,798 --> 01:32:20,234
DEVELOP SOME TYPE OF

2301
01:32:20,301 --> 01:32:21,869
COMPREHENSIVE AND THOUGHTFUL

2302
01:32:21,936 --> 01:32:24,305
STRATEGY TO REALLY BUILD THAT

2303
01:32:24,372 --> 01:32:24,639
CAPACITY.

2304
01:32:24,705 --> 01:32:25,840
PLEASE FEEL FREE TO REACH OUT TO

2305
01:32:25,907 --> 01:32:26,974
ME WHEN YOU CAN AND BE PART OF

2306
01:32:27,041 --> 01:32:28,175
THE DISCUSSIONS THAT ARE GOING

2307
01:32:28,242 --> 01:32:31,979
ON RIGHT NOW.

2308
01:32:32,046 --> 01:32:33,614
>> THANK YOU, DR. STINSON.

2309
01:32:33,681 --> 01:32:35,149
WE ALSO HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION

2310
01:32:35,216 --> 01:32:36,918
FROM AN AUDIENCE MEMBER.

2311
01:32:36,984 --> 01:32:37,518
>> COULD I --

2312
01:32:37,585 --> 01:32:39,453
>> OH.

2313
01:32:39,520 --> 01:32:41,956
>> ADD TO THAT RESPONSE.

2314
01:32:42,023 --> 01:32:44,358
I WOULD CAUTION, HOWEVER, THAT

2315
01:32:44,425 --> 01:32:51,632
YOU REQUIRE AND MAKE CERTAIN

2316
01:32:51,699 --> 01:32:52,700
THAT THE MINORITY-SERVING

2317
01:32:52,767 --> 01:32:53,801
INSTITUTION PRODUCES A PRODUCT

2318
01:32:53,868 --> 01:32:56,871
AND THEY ARE SERIOUS ABOUT THE

2319
01:32:56,938 --> 01:32:57,171
PARTNERSHIP.

2320
01:32:57,238 --> 01:32:58,773
HAVING BEEN AT HOWARD UNIVERSITY

2321
01:32:58,839 --> 01:33:03,244
FOR 11 1/2 YEARS, AND DR. PINN

2322
01:33:03,311 --> 01:33:06,080
COULD I'M SURE ELABORATE ON

2323
01:33:06,147 --> 01:33:11,786
THIS, SHE'S BEEN THERE AS WELL,

2324
01:33:11,852 --> 01:33:14,956
ALL MINORITY INSTITUTIONS AREN'T

2325
01:33:15,022 --> 01:33:15,389
THE SAME.

2326
01:33:15,456 --> 01:33:17,358
AND SOME, YOU CAN PUT MONEY, YOU

2327
01:33:17,425 --> 01:33:18,559
NEED MORE THAN MONEY.

2328
01:33:18,626 --> 01:33:20,728
YOU HAVE TO HAVE A PERSON ON

2329
01:33:20,795 --> 01:33:23,597
THAT END, THE OTHER END, THAT'S

2330
01:33:23,664 --> 01:33:24,799
COMMITTED TO PRODUCING THE

2331
01:33:24,865 --> 01:33:27,201
PRODUCT THAT YOU'RE PAYING FOR,

2332
01:33:27,268 --> 01:33:29,203
BUYING WITH TAXPAYER DOLLARS.

2333
01:33:29,270 --> 01:33:33,240
AND SO YOU NEED TO INSIST THAT

2334
01:33:33,307 --> 01:33:37,478
YOU ARE GOING TO GET THE

2335
01:33:37,545 --> 01:33:39,580
PRODUCT, OR SERIOUS EFFORT, TO

2336
01:33:39,647 --> 01:33:41,449
DEVELOP THAT PRODUCT BEFORE YOU

2337
01:33:41,515 --> 01:33:44,051
INVEST.

2338
01:33:44,118 --> 01:33:47,555
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH, DR. OLDEN.

2339
01:33:47,621 --> 01:33:52,493
WE HAVE A QUESTION ON THE FLOOR.

2340
01:33:52,560 --> 01:33:55,997
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL OF

2341
01:33:56,063 --> 01:33:57,098
THE KNOWLEDGE AND ADVICE AND

2342
01:33:57,164 --> 01:34:00,201
YOUR STORIES THAT YOU SHARED

2343
01:34:00,267 --> 01:34:01,736
TODAY.

2344
01:34:01,802 --> 01:34:04,472
I AM MIA ROCHELLE LOUDEN, I WORK

2345
01:34:04,538 --> 01:34:08,309
AT THE NIH, PART OF THE UNITE

2346
01:34:08,376 --> 01:34:09,577
INITIATIVE FOR ENDING STRUCTURAL

2347
01:34:09,643 --> 01:34:10,277
RACISM.

2348
01:34:10,344 --> 01:34:12,113
ONE THING THAT CAME OUT IS THE

2349
01:34:12,179 --> 01:34:13,014
RECOGNITION PROJECT, WHERE WE

2350
01:34:13,080 --> 01:34:15,649
CHANGED SOME OF THE ART ON THE

2351
01:34:15,716 --> 01:34:17,051
WALLS TO BETTER REFLECT THE

2352
01:34:17,118 --> 01:34:18,552
BROAD RANGE OF DIVERSITY OF

2353
01:34:18,619 --> 01:34:20,021
PEOPLE WHO WORK AT THE NIH.

2354
01:34:20,087 --> 01:34:21,756
BUT I HAVE FOUND IT'S HARD TO

2355
01:34:21,822 --> 01:34:25,059
UNDERSTAND MORE OF THE HISTORY,

2356
01:34:25,126 --> 01:34:27,661
LOOKING BACK BEFORE 2020, BEFORE

2357
01:34:27,728 --> 01:34:29,096
THE UNITE INITIATIVE BEGAN, TO

2358
01:34:29,163 --> 01:34:30,998
UNDERSTAND ALL THE WONDERFUL

2359
01:34:31,065 --> 01:34:31,699
CONTRIBUTION ALSO, MANY

2360
01:34:31,766 --> 01:34:33,134
DIFFERENT EMPLOYEES OF COLOR,

2361
01:34:33,200 --> 01:34:34,468
NOT JUST SCIENTISTS, HAVE MADE

2362
01:34:34,535 --> 01:34:35,302
TO THE NIH.

2363
01:34:35,369 --> 01:34:40,574
AND SO I'M WONDERING IF YOU

2364
01:34:40,641 --> 01:34:42,676
HAVE ADVICE HOW NIH CAN DO

2365
01:34:42,743 --> 01:34:47,615
BETTER TO SHOW IMPACT EMPLOYEES

2366
01:34:47,681 --> 01:34:48,916
HAD OVER THE AGENCY.

2367
01:34:48,983 --> 01:34:50,985
I LISTENED TO YOUR STORIES, A

2368
01:34:51,052 --> 01:34:52,186
WONDERFUL TRADITION OF ORAL

2369
01:34:52,253 --> 01:34:53,587
HISTORY, PASSING IT DOWN THAT

2370
01:34:53,654 --> 01:34:54,688
WAY, BUT NOT EVERYONE COULD MAKE

2371
01:34:54,755 --> 01:34:55,790
IT TODAY TO HEAR THESE STORIES

2372
01:34:55,856 --> 01:34:58,392
SO WHAT ARE WAYS WE CAN SHOWCASE

2373
01:34:58,459 --> 01:34:59,727
YOUR STORIES AND OTHERS IN A WAY

2374
01:34:59,794 --> 01:35:01,495
THAT WILL BE MORE LASTING AND BE

2375
01:35:01,562 --> 01:35:04,932
ABLE TO REACH EVEN MORE PEOPLE?

2376
01:35:09,003 --> 01:35:12,206
>> WELL, ONE THING THAT WE COULD

2377
01:35:12,273 --> 01:35:14,809
DO, I'M DOING THAT, PROVIDING MY

2378
01:35:14,875 --> 01:35:18,212
PAPERS, WRITING MY OWN MEMOIR IN

2379
01:35:18,279 --> 01:35:21,282
A WAY, AND THE NATIONAL -- THE

2380
01:35:21,348 --> 01:35:22,583
NIH HAS AN ARCHIVE, AND THEY

2381
01:35:22,650 --> 01:35:26,087
HAVE ASKED ME FOR THEM AND SO

2382
01:35:26,153 --> 01:35:28,689
I'M GOING TO PUT MY PAPERS, MY

2383
01:35:28,756 --> 01:35:34,428
COMMUNICATIONS, MY THINKING

2384
01:35:34,495 --> 01:35:35,629
ABOUT ISSUES, PROGRAMS WE

2385
01:35:35,696 --> 01:35:38,265
DEVELOPED, WHY WE DEVELOPED

2386
01:35:38,332 --> 01:35:41,102
THEM, AND KIDS CAN READ THEM A

2387
01:35:41,168 --> 01:35:42,770
HUNDRED YEARS FROM NOW, I HOPE,

2388
01:35:42,837 --> 01:35:43,604
AND MY GRANDCHILDREN AND

2389
01:35:43,671 --> 01:35:45,473
CHILDREN WILL GO IN AND READ

2390
01:35:45,539 --> 01:35:46,040
THEM.

2391
01:35:46,107 --> 01:35:47,975
SO I THINK THAT ALL OF US COULD

2392
01:35:48,042 --> 01:35:49,009
DO THAT.

2393
01:35:49,076 --> 01:35:51,078
THERE IS AN ARCHIVE HERE.

2394
01:35:51,145 --> 01:35:54,014
AND THEY WILL TAKE YOUR PAPERS.

2395
01:35:54,081 --> 01:35:56,650
AND MAKE THEM AVAILABLE FOR

2396
01:35:56,717 --> 01:35:57,118
RESEARCH.

2397
01:35:57,184 --> 01:35:58,519
AND SO THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT.

2398
01:35:58,586 --> 01:36:03,557
SO  IN MY CASE I'M SITTING DOWN

2399
01:36:03,624 --> 01:36:05,960
AND WRITING A CASE UP.

2400
01:36:06,026 --> 01:36:09,497
I CAN SAY THAT, LISTENING ABOUT

2401
01:36:09,563 --> 01:36:16,003
WHAT'S GOING ON WITH COMMUNITY

2402
01:36:16,070 --> 01:36:16,904
BASED PARTICIPATORY RESEARCH,

2403
01:36:16,971 --> 01:36:20,307
WELL, THAT WAS A MAJOR

2404
01:36:20,374 --> 01:36:22,143
INVESTMENT WE MADE IN 1991.

2405
01:36:22,209 --> 01:36:25,446
AND WE'RE RECOGNIZED FOR THAT,

2406
01:36:25,513 --> 01:36:29,350
BY RESEARCH AMERICA.

2407
01:36:29,416 --> 01:36:31,118
AND SO I MAKE SURE THAT WE DON'T

2408
01:36:31,185 --> 01:36:33,187
FORGET THAT.

2409
01:36:33,254 --> 01:36:34,955
WRITE IT UP.

2410
01:36:35,022 --> 01:36:38,993
AND PUT A FOLDER IN YOUR

2411
01:36:39,059 --> 01:36:39,593
ARCHIVE.

2412
01:36:39,660 --> 01:36:42,263
SO THAT PEOPLE KNOW WHERE THESE

2413
01:36:42,329 --> 01:36:45,666
CONCEPTS STARTED, WHO DEVELOPED

2414
01:36:45,733 --> 01:36:50,604
THEM, OR ELSE YOU WILL -- SO YOU

2415
01:36:50,671 --> 01:36:52,773
HAVE TO DO THAT.

2416
01:36:52,840 --> 01:36:54,074
OTHERWISE, I READ NOW THINGS

2417
01:36:54,141 --> 01:36:56,944
THAT I KNOW HOW THEY GOT

2418
01:36:57,011 --> 01:37:00,748
STARTED, BUT WHEN YOU READ THE

2419
01:37:00,814 --> 01:37:02,750
PRESS YOU MIGHT NOT BELIEVE

2420
01:37:02,816 --> 01:37:03,417
THAT.

2421
01:37:03,484 --> 01:37:06,487
SO SOMEBODY HAS TO SET THE

2422
01:37:06,554 --> 01:37:08,889
STORY, THE RECORD, RIGHT.

2423
01:37:08,956 --> 01:37:10,758
AND SAY THIS STARTED ON THIS

2424
01:37:10,824 --> 01:37:14,361
DAY, THIS TIME, AND THIS IS HOW,

2425
01:37:14,428 --> 01:37:15,429
THESE WERE THE PLAYERS.

2426
01:37:15,496 --> 01:37:17,298
AND THEY CAN FIND OUT IF IT'S

2427
01:37:17,364 --> 01:37:18,098
RIGHT OR WRONG.

2428
01:37:18,165 --> 01:37:20,768
IT'S HISTORY.

2429
01:37:25,239 --> 01:37:27,474
>> DR. OLDEN, THANK YOU FOR YOUR

2430
01:37:27,541 --> 01:37:29,543
COMMENTS AND YOU'RE RIGHT.

2431
01:37:29,610 --> 01:37:32,379
I'M CONCERNED BECAUSE YOU SPOKE

2432
01:37:32,446 --> 01:37:34,582
ABOUT DR. KIRSCHSTEIN AND DR.

2433
01:37:34,648 --> 01:37:36,083
RABSON, VERY MUCH IMPRESSING ON

2434
01:37:36,150 --> 01:37:37,551
EVERYONE AROUND THEM AT THAT

2435
01:37:37,618 --> 01:37:42,089
TIME THE IMPORTANCE OF ARCHIVES,

2436
01:37:42,156 --> 01:37:43,023
OF MAINTAINING, IN FACT AT THAT

2437
01:37:43,090 --> 01:37:44,458
TIME YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE A

2438
01:37:44,525 --> 01:37:46,093
LOG OF EVERY PHONE CALL THAT

2439
01:37:46,160 --> 01:37:47,294
CAME INTO THE OFFICE, EVERYTHING

2440
01:37:47,361 --> 01:37:48,929
YOU DID, YOU DIDN'T PUT IT IN

2441
01:37:48,996 --> 01:37:52,433
THE TRASH IT WENT INTO ARCHIVES

2442
01:37:52,499 --> 01:37:53,534
TO ARE SAVED FOR FUTURE

2443
01:37:53,601 --> 01:37:53,968
REFERENCE.

2444
01:37:54,034 --> 01:37:55,002
OVER 30 YEARS I'VE BEEN HERE IT

2445
01:37:55,069 --> 01:37:57,605
SEEMS TO BE THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO

2446
01:37:57,671 --> 01:37:58,806
JUST DON'T EVEN GRASP THAT

2447
01:37:58,872 --> 01:37:59,039
ANYMORE.

2448
01:37:59,106 --> 01:38:01,075
I WORRY ABOUT WHAT'S BEEN LOST

2449
01:38:01,141 --> 01:38:02,843
AND WHAT'S BEING LOST.

2450
01:38:02,910 --> 01:38:04,378
AND I THINK I UNDERSTOOD THE

2451
01:38:04,445 --> 01:38:05,579
ESSENCE OF YOUR QUESTION.

2452
01:38:05,646 --> 01:38:10,084
IF NOT I'M GOING TO ANSWER WHAT

2453
01:38:10,150 --> 01:38:11,719
I THINK WHAT I WANTED YOU TO

2454
01:38:11,785 --> 01:38:12,253
ASK.

2455
01:38:12,319 --> 01:38:13,854
IT REALLY DISTURBS ME TO SEE

2456
01:38:13,921 --> 01:38:15,990
THINGS THAT WERE DONE AND

2457
01:38:16,056 --> 01:38:17,224
ADDRESSED 20, 30 YEARS AGO, AND

2458
01:38:17,291 --> 01:38:19,059
THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THEY ARE

2459
01:38:19,126 --> 01:38:19,927
LIKE NEW ISSUES.

2460
01:38:19,994 --> 01:38:21,695
WE SHOULD BE BUILDING ON WHAT

2461
01:38:21,762 --> 01:38:23,330
WE'VE DONE INSTEAD OF COMING UP

2462
01:38:23,397 --> 01:38:25,933
WITH NEW ISSUES.

2463
01:38:26,000 --> 01:38:27,301
THE IMPORTANCE OF INCLUDING

2464
01:38:27,368 --> 01:38:29,870
DIVERSE POPULATIONS IN CLINICAL

2465
01:38:29,937 --> 01:38:31,639
TRIALS, DURING THE COVID

2466
01:38:31,705 --> 01:38:34,375
PANDEMIC, WHEN WE FIRST

2467
01:38:34,441 --> 01:38:35,342
IMPLEMENTED THE REQUIREMENTS FOR

2468
01:38:35,409 --> 01:38:38,178
INCLUSION THAT WAS REALLY PART

2469
01:38:38,245 --> 01:38:41,282
OF THE NIH REVITALIZATION ACT OF

2470
01:38:41,348 --> 01:38:43,550
1994, WE COVERED THAT.

2471
01:38:43,617 --> 01:38:45,352
WE HAVE REPORTS ADDRESSING THAT.

2472
01:38:45,419 --> 01:38:47,187
ALL OF A SUDDEN, WITHIN THE LAST

2473
01:38:47,254 --> 01:38:48,389
COUPLE OF YEARS, PEOPLE ARE

2474
01:38:48,455 --> 01:38:50,190
RAISING QUESTIONS, HOW DO YOU

2475
01:38:50,257 --> 01:38:52,226
RECRUIT MINORITIES INTO CLINICAL

2476
01:38:52,293 --> 01:38:52,459
TRIALS?

2477
01:38:52,526 --> 01:38:54,094
AND I JUST SAY LOOK AT THIS

2478
01:38:54,161 --> 01:38:56,497
REPORT, BECAUSE WE COVERED ALL

2479
01:38:56,563 --> 01:38:56,764
THAT.

2480
01:38:56,830 --> 01:38:58,899
IT'S ALL OUTLINED HOW YOU DO IT,

2481
01:38:58,966 --> 01:39:01,068
WHAT HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL.

2482
01:39:01,135 --> 01:39:04,038
BUT I THINK -- AND SO I REALLY

2483
01:39:04,104 --> 01:39:05,673
GET CONCERNED, IN FACT I'VE SAID

2484
01:39:05,739 --> 01:39:07,875
I WON'T EVEN GO BEYOND A PANIC,

2485
01:39:07,941 --> 01:39:09,943
I SPOKE SO MUCH ABOUT THAT 20

2486
01:39:10,010 --> 01:39:11,912
YEARS AGO, I REFUSE TO COME AND

2487
01:39:11,979 --> 01:39:14,315
TALK ABOUT IT AGAIN BECAUSE WHAT

2488
01:39:14,381 --> 01:39:16,383
HAS HAPPENED WAS NOT RECOGNIZING

2489
01:39:16,450 --> 01:39:21,655
OUR HISTORY, SO WE  -- AS THOUGH

2490
01:39:21,722 --> 01:39:23,857
WE NEVER DID IT BEFORE.

2491
01:39:23,924 --> 01:39:25,826
KEN IS RIGHT, IT NEEDS TO BE

2492
01:39:25,893 --> 01:39:27,061
WRITTEN UP BUT THERE NEEDS TO BE

2493
01:39:27,127 --> 01:39:28,128
ACCESS TO THAT INFORMATION.

2494
01:39:28,195 --> 01:39:29,430
SOME REPORTS FOR EXAMPLE WE DID

2495
01:39:29,496 --> 01:39:32,066
ON SOME ISSUES I SEE ARE BEING

2496
01:39:32,132 --> 01:39:33,000
ADDRESSED AGAIN TODAY, THEY ARE

2497
01:39:33,067 --> 01:39:34,835
NOT ON THE WEBSITE.

2498
01:39:34,902 --> 01:39:36,103
THEY ARE LOST SOMEWHERE, BECAUSE

2499
01:39:36,170 --> 01:39:38,138
THEY ARE NOT MEETING THE

2500
01:39:38,205 --> 01:39:40,507
STANDARDS FOR WHAT HAS TO BE, TO

2501
01:39:40,574 --> 01:39:42,943
BE POSTED ON THE WEBSITE, AND I

2502
01:39:43,010 --> 01:39:44,178
GET CONCERNED BECAUSE I THINK

2503
01:39:44,244 --> 01:39:46,547
WE'RE LOSING A LOT OF

2504
01:39:46,613 --> 01:39:47,314
INFORMATION BECAUSE PEOPLE NOW

2505
01:39:47,381 --> 01:39:48,649
DON'T WANT TO HEAR -- THEY WANT

2506
01:39:48,716 --> 01:39:51,051
TO BE ABLE TO GO TO THE WEBSITE

2507
01:39:51,118 --> 01:39:52,886
AND PULL IT OUT.

2508
01:39:52,953 --> 01:39:54,988
NOT ONLY IT'S IMPORTANT TO

2509
01:39:55,055 --> 01:39:57,391
PRESERVE WHAT WE'VE DONE BUT TO

2510
01:39:57,458 --> 01:39:59,026
MAKE SURE WHAT PAST HISTORY HAS

2511
01:39:59,093 --> 01:40:00,694
BROUGHT US IS SUCCESSFUL AND

2512
01:40:00,761 --> 01:40:05,165
PEOPLE CAN HAVE ACCESS TODAY.

2513
01:40:05,232 --> 01:40:06,266
TODAY THAT MEANS GOING THROUGH

2514
01:40:06,333 --> 01:40:07,034
THE WEB.

2515
01:40:07,101 --> 01:40:09,203
WE RECOGNIZE AND BUILD.

2516
01:40:09,269 --> 01:40:11,071
I GET DISTRESSED WITH SEEING

2517
01:40:11,138 --> 01:40:13,807
PEOPLE REPEATING AND ASKING THE

2518
01:40:13,874 --> 01:40:14,875
QUESTIONS THAT WE REPEATED THAT

2519
01:40:14,942 --> 01:40:17,411
WE ASKED 20, 30 YEARS AGO, DID

2520
01:40:17,478 --> 01:40:22,216
WE  DO IT ALL IN VAIN?

2521
01:40:22,282 --> 01:40:22,983
THAT GETS FRUSTRATING.

2522
01:40:23,050 --> 01:40:24,318
THAT MAY NOT BE WHAT YOU ASKED

2523
01:40:24,385 --> 01:40:28,021
BUT IT'S A COMMENT I FEEL

2524
01:40:28,088 --> 01:40:29,356
COMFORTABLE MAKING.

2525
01:40:29,423 --> 01:40:31,024
>> DR. MIA LOUDEN, I'M GLAD YOU

2526
01:40:31,091 --> 01:40:31,892
ASKED THAT QUESTION.

2527
01:40:31,959 --> 01:40:35,863
I GUESS MY RESPONSE TO YOU IS

2528
01:40:35,929 --> 01:40:37,264
REMEMBER LOADING UP THE

2529
01:40:37,331 --> 01:40:37,798
FOOTBALL.

2530
01:40:37,865 --> 01:40:39,266
GETTING READY TO LOB IT.

2531
01:40:39,333 --> 01:40:41,101
I NEED YOU TO WRITE.

2532
01:40:41,168 --> 01:40:44,304
THAT'S WHAT I NEED YOU TO DO.

2533
01:40:44,371 --> 01:40:46,707
AS EVERYONE HAS INDICATED, WE

2534
01:40:46,774 --> 01:40:49,643
CANNOT LET OUR HISTORY FADE AND

2535
01:40:49,710 --> 01:40:52,813
GO INTO THE NIGHT QUIETLY.

2536
01:40:52,880 --> 01:40:57,618
IF WE ARE NOT INVESTED IN

2537
01:40:57,684 --> 01:41:01,021
DOCUMENTING WHAT HAS TRANSPIRED,

2538
01:41:01,088 --> 01:41:04,224
IN YOUR TIME, IN THE EFFORTS YOU

2539
01:41:04,291 --> 01:41:05,626
PUT FORWARD, LET'S DOCUMENT

2540
01:41:05,692 --> 01:41:05,993
THAT.

2541
01:41:06,059 --> 01:41:07,060
GET IT INTO A MANUSCRIPT.

2542
01:41:07,127 --> 01:41:10,664
WE DON'T HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE

2543
01:41:10,731 --> 01:41:13,200
ARCHIVES UNTIL YOU'VE AMASSED

2544
01:41:13,267 --> 01:41:16,003
THIS LONG CAREER.

2545
01:41:16,069 --> 01:41:18,739
THERE'S A PUBLICATION OR JOURNAL

2546
01:41:18,806 --> 01:41:20,607
OUT THERE THAT WILL TAKE THE

2547
01:41:20,674 --> 01:41:25,879
HISTORY AS YOU CAN WRITE IT NOW.

2548
01:41:25,946 --> 01:41:27,915
WE HAD A ESTABLISHED SOMETHING

2549
01:41:27,981 --> 01:41:30,350
AT THE TIME D.E.I. WAS SPECIAL

2550
01:41:30,417 --> 01:41:33,554

01:41:34,655 --> 01:41:36,390
I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S STILL

2553
01:41:36,457 --> 01:41:37,925
GOING ON.

2554
01:41:37,991 --> 01:41:41,028
IT'S STILL GOING ON, YAY!

01:42:19,399 --> 01:42:20,868
ONLINE AUDIENCE, IF YOU HAVE TO

2578
01:42:20,934 --> 01:42:21,969
LEAVE BUT WE'LL CONTINUE WITH

2579
01:42:22,035 --> 01:42:24,471
THE PROGRAM TO MAKE SURE WE ASK

2580
01:42:24,538 --> 01:42:27,641
THE QUESTIONS IN THE AUDIENCE.

2581
01:42:27,708 --> 01:42:28,442
SO ONLINE?

2582
01:42:28,509 --> 01:42:30,811
>> CAN YOU EACH TELL US ABOUT

2583
01:42:30,878 --> 01:42:36,116
YOUR GREATEST CHALLENGES AND HOW

2584
01:42:36,183 --> 01:42:38,652
YOU OVERCAME THEM?

2585
01:42:40,754 --> 01:42:43,323
>> COULD YOU EACH TELL US ABOUT

2586
01:42:43,390 --> 01:42:45,058
YOUR PERSONAL CHALLENGES AND HOW

2587
01:42:45,125 --> 01:42:47,861
YOU OVERCAME THEM?

2588
01:42:58,472 --> 01:43:00,040
>> WELL, I SAID MY GREATEST

2589
01:43:00,107 --> 01:43:01,475
CHALLENGE WAS OBVIOUSLY GROWING

2590
01:43:01,542 --> 01:43:05,546
UP IN A RURAL AREA, WITH POOR

2591
01:43:05,612 --> 01:43:07,414
EDUCATION, POOR SCHOOLS.

2592
01:43:07,481 --> 01:43:08,415
AND POVERTY.

2593
01:43:08,482 --> 01:43:10,884
THOSE ARE TWO THINGS THAT ARE

2594
01:43:10,951 --> 01:43:14,755
REALLY DEVASTATING AND IT IS NOT

2595
01:43:14,821 --> 01:43:15,956
EASY TO OVERCOME.

2596
01:43:16,023 --> 01:43:18,058
BUT IN A MINUTE, WHAT I DID IS

2597
01:43:18,125 --> 01:43:20,093
MADE A DECISION THAT I WAS NOT

2598
01:43:20,160 --> 01:43:23,630
GOING TO BE A SHARECROPPER,

2599
01:43:23,697 --> 01:43:24,498
FIRST OF ALL.

2600
01:43:24,565 --> 01:43:26,700
THAT MEANT I HAD TO TRANSFORM MY

2601
01:43:26,767 --> 01:43:28,435
LIFE AND I WAS DETERMINED TO

2602
01:43:28,502 --> 01:43:29,636
TRANSFORM MY LIFE.

2603
01:43:29,703 --> 01:43:35,576
SO, WHILE I DID MY FARM WORK,

2604
01:43:35,642 --> 01:43:41,248
WITH MY DAD, I THEN SKIPPED TO

2605
01:43:41,315 --> 01:43:44,885
THE LIBRARY,  READ EVERYTHING I

2606
01:43:44,952 --> 01:43:46,186
COULD FIND, BOOKS AND BOOKS,

2607
01:43:46,253 --> 01:43:48,155
READ EVERYTHING, TO GET IN

2608
01:43:48,221 --> 01:43:48,388
COLLEGE.

2609
01:43:48,455 --> 01:43:49,690
WHEN I GOT IN COLLEGE I WORKED

2610
01:43:49,756 --> 01:43:51,792
LIKE HELL TO MAKE SURE I HAD

2611
01:43:51,858 --> 01:43:56,597
GOOD GREATS  -- GRADES TO GO TO

2612
01:43:56,663 --> 01:43:58,999
MEDICAL SCHOOL, I THOUGHT, AND

2613
01:43:59,066 --> 01:44:03,403
THEN A Ph.D. IN CELL AND

2614
01:44:03,470 --> 01:44:03,804
MOLECULAR BIOLOGY.

2615
01:44:03,870 --> 01:44:04,972
THERE'S NO SUBSTITUTE FOR HARD

2616
01:44:05,038 --> 01:44:07,674
WORK, NOT THAT I ENJOYED IT.

2617
01:44:07,741 --> 01:44:10,911
BUT THE POINT IS, I WAS

2618
01:44:10,978 --> 01:44:12,512
DETERMINED TO BE WHAT I WANTED

2619
01:44:12,579 --> 01:44:15,549
TO BE IN LIFE, AND I WAS NOT

2620
01:44:15,616 --> 01:44:17,951
GOING TO ALLOW MY CIRCUMSTANCES

2621
01:44:18,018 --> 01:44:20,954
TO DICTATE WHAT I WAS GOING TO

2622
01:44:21,021 --> 01:44:21,622
BE.

2623
01:44:21,688 --> 01:44:23,490
SO, JUST THAT'S BASICALLY WHAT I

2624
01:44:23,557 --> 01:44:26,426
HAVE TO SAY.

2625
01:44:26,493 --> 01:44:27,060
>> THANK YOU.

2626
01:44:27,127 --> 01:44:28,195
WOULD ANYONE ELSE LIKE TO ANSWER

2627
01:44:28,261 --> 01:44:30,731
THIS QUESTION?

2628
01:44:36,436 --> 01:44:37,371
DR. HARDEN?

2629
01:44:37,437 --> 01:44:38,905
>> I'VE SUMMARIZED MOST OF MY

2630
01:44:38,972 --> 01:44:42,609
BARRIERS IN SCIENCE AND IT GOES

2631
01:44:42,676 --> 01:44:45,245
BACK TO DISCRIMINATION, PEOPLE

2632
01:44:45,312 --> 01:44:46,680
OUTSIDE OF ME RESPONDING TO ME

2633
01:44:46,747 --> 01:44:49,416
IN A CERTAIN WAY.

2634
01:44:49,483 --> 01:44:52,252
SEEING MY DIFFERENCES AND MAKING

2635
01:44:52,319 --> 01:44:54,421
INFERENCES ABOUT THOSE

2636
01:44:54,488 --> 01:44:55,956
DIFFERENCES.

2637
01:44:56,023 --> 01:44:59,826
USUALLY IN THE NEGATIVE

2638
01:44:59,893 --> 01:45:00,761
CONNOTATION.

2639
01:45:00,827 --> 01:45:01,862
SEPARATION, AGAIN WHEN YOU'RE ON

2640
01:45:01,928 --> 01:45:03,196
ONE SIDE OF THE CITY AND YOU

2641
01:45:03,263 --> 01:45:07,167
DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT LIES ON THE

2642
01:45:07,234 --> 01:45:08,969
OTHER SIDE OF THE CITY, BECAUSE

2643
01:45:09,036 --> 01:45:11,838
WE HAD BARRIERS AND WE WERE

2644
01:45:11,905 --> 01:45:12,239
SEPARATED, LACK OF

2645
01:45:12,305 --> 01:45:15,275
TRANSPORTATION, LACK OF

2646
01:45:15,342 --> 01:45:17,511
RESOURCES, POVERTY.

2647
01:45:17,577 --> 01:45:20,113
ALL OF THAT.

2648
01:45:20,180 --> 01:45:22,315
AND THE SEGREGATION, OUR

2649
01:45:22,382 --> 01:45:23,984
LIBRARIES WEREN'T AS WELL

2650
01:45:24,051 --> 01:45:24,951
FUNDED.

2651
01:45:25,018 --> 01:45:31,725
MY THEME, THE DSS,

2652
01:45:31,792 --> 01:45:32,392
DISCRIMINATION, SEGREGATION AND

2653
01:45:32,459 --> 01:45:35,796
SEPARATION WERE BEAR  --

2654
01:45:35,862 --> 01:45:36,063
BARRIERS.

2655
01:45:36,129 --> 01:45:38,298
HOW DID I OVERCOME IN THE MOST

2656
01:45:38,365 --> 01:45:39,499
IMPORTANT PART.

2657
01:45:39,566 --> 01:45:41,268
FAMILY SUPPORT, TO PUSH FORWARD

2658
01:45:41,334 --> 01:45:43,670
TOWARD A GOAL, BEING

2659
01:45:43,737 --> 01:45:44,004
CONSCIENTIOUS.

2660
01:45:44,071 --> 01:45:48,709
I WAS ALWAYS A CURIOUS CHILD, A

2661
01:45:48,775 --> 01:45:49,810
CURIOUS ADULT.

2662
01:45:49,876 --> 01:45:54,281
AND WILL RATTLE OFF A NUMBER OF

2663
01:45:54,347 --> 01:45:54,581
QUESTIONS.

2664
01:45:54,648 --> 01:45:57,484
SO, THE WAY TO OVERCOME IS TO

2665
01:45:57,551 --> 01:46:02,055
KNOW WHAT YOUR BARRIERS OR BE

2666
01:46:02,122 --> 01:46:03,023
-- OBSTACLES ARE.

2667
01:46:03,090 --> 01:46:04,791
WITH RESOURCES WE HAVE IN THIS

2668
01:46:04,858 --> 01:46:08,295
DAY AND AGE DOESN'T MAKE MUCH TO

2669
01:46:08,361 --> 01:46:09,596
FIGURE OUT SOME SOLUTIONS BUT

2670
01:46:09,663 --> 01:46:11,465
INHERENTLY THE SOLUTION IS

2671
01:46:11,531 --> 01:46:13,867
ALWAYS LEARN, LEARN, LEARN.

2672
01:46:13,934 --> 01:46:15,068
AND THEN LEARN TO EXECUTE THE

2673
01:46:15,135 --> 01:46:17,804
PLAN THAT YOU COME UP WITH TO

2674
01:46:17,871 --> 01:46:19,005
OVERCOME THE BARRIERS.

2675
01:46:19,072 --> 01:46:20,440
BECAUSE THERE'S ALWAYS GOING TO

2676
01:46:20,507 --> 01:46:22,175
BE ANOTHER BARRIER, AS YOU GO

2677
01:46:22,242 --> 01:46:22,442
FORWARD.

2678
01:46:22,509 --> 01:46:26,880
THANK YOU.

2679
01:46:26,947 --> 01:46:27,414
>> DR. STINSON?

2680
01:46:27,481 --> 01:46:31,485
>> COULD I SAY ONE THING ELSE?

2681
01:46:31,551 --> 01:46:34,187
I PAID -- I SHINED SHOES FOR

2682
01:46:34,254 --> 01:46:35,422
15-CENT PER PAIR, AND SAVED

2683
01:46:35,489 --> 01:46:39,259
ENOUGH MONEY TO PAY MY COLLEGE

2684
01:46:39,326 --> 01:46:41,561
TUITION YEAR ONE.

2685
01:46:41,628 --> 01:46:42,763
THAT'S COMMITMENT.

2686
01:46:42,829 --> 01:46:46,366
I DIDN'T BUY A CAR WITH MY

2687
01:46:46,433 --> 01:46:46,900
MONEY.

2688
01:46:46,967 --> 01:46:49,536
I SAVED IT TO PAY MY FIRST YEAR

2689
01:46:49,603 --> 01:46:51,505
OF COLLEGE TUITION.

2690
01:46:51,571 --> 01:46:53,507
MY PARENTS DIDN'T HAVE ONE RED

2691
01:46:53,573 --> 01:46:56,343
PENNY TO CONTRIBUTE AND NEVER

2692
01:46:56,409 --> 01:46:57,778
DID, TO MY COLLEGE TUITION.

2693
01:46:57,844 --> 01:46:59,412
EITHER I WAS GOING TO COLLEGE ON

2694
01:46:59,479 --> 01:47:01,948
MY OWN OR I WASN'T GOING.

2695
01:47:02,015 --> 01:47:04,618
I WENT.

2696
01:47:08,789 --> 01:47:12,459
>> I WILL JUST SAY SUCCINCTLY MY

2697
01:47:12,526 --> 01:47:14,094
BIGGEST CHALLENGE WAS TO REALLY

2698
01:47:14,161 --> 01:47:15,195
DETERMINE WHAT OPPORTUNITIES

2699
01:47:15,262 --> 01:47:17,364
WERE AVAILABLE TO ME.

2700
01:47:17,430 --> 01:47:20,433
YOU KNOW, INFORMATION IS

2701
01:47:20,500 --> 01:47:21,868
ALWAYS -- IS KEY, AND SOMETIMES

2702
01:47:21,935 --> 01:47:23,403
SOME PEOPLE HAVE INFORMATION,

2703
01:47:23,470 --> 01:47:25,605
OTHER PEOPLE DON'T HAVE

2704
01:47:25,672 --> 01:47:28,108
INFORMATION.

2705
01:47:28,175 --> 01:47:29,075
AND SO PERSISTENCE IS SOMETHING

2706
01:47:29,142 --> 01:47:30,477
I THINK THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT,

2707
01:47:30,544 --> 01:47:32,045
AND IT GOES BACK TO WHAT I

2708
01:47:32,112 --> 01:47:33,346
MENTIONED BEFORE.

2709
01:47:33,413 --> 01:47:35,382
UNDERSTANDING WHAT YOUR GOAL IS,

2710
01:47:35,448 --> 01:47:37,083
AND TAKING THE STEPS TO ASSURE

2711
01:47:37,150 --> 01:47:38,718
YOU MEET THAT GOAL.

2712
01:47:38,785 --> 01:47:40,086
FOR ME PERSISTENCE WAS ONE OF

2713
01:47:40,153 --> 01:47:44,724
THOSE THINGS.

2714
01:47:44,791 --> 01:47:46,359
>> SOMETIMES WHEN I'M TALKING AS

2715
01:47:46,426 --> 01:47:48,428
YOU GET OLDER YOU DON'T MIND

2716
01:47:48,495 --> 01:47:53,600
SHOWING PICTURES I USED TO HIDE,

2717
01:47:53,667 --> 01:47:55,001
THE OLD FAMILY PICTURES.

2718
01:47:55,068 --> 01:47:56,102
NOW WHEN I THINK ABOUT

2719
01:47:56,169 --> 01:47:56,770
OPPORTUNITIES I SHOW A PICTURE

2720
01:47:56,837 --> 01:48:00,807
OF ME AS A BALD-HEADED BABY IN

2721
01:48:00,874 --> 01:48:02,442
MY MOTHER'S ARMS WITH HER

2722
01:48:02,509 --> 01:48:05,512
MOTHER, MY GRANDMOTHER, AND MY

2723
01:48:05,579 --> 01:48:06,913
GREAT GRAND-MOTHER LIZZIE, A

2724
01:48:06,980 --> 01:48:08,014
DESCENDANT OF SLAVES, TAKEN WHEN

2725
01:48:08,081 --> 01:48:14,721
I WAS A BABY ON THE FARM IN

2726
01:48:14,788 --> 01:48:16,223
HALIFAX, VIRGINIA WHERE I WAS

2727
01:48:16,289 --> 01:48:17,324
BORN, NO RUNNING WATER, NO

2728
01:48:17,390 --> 01:48:18,091
ELECTRICITY.

2729
01:48:18,158 --> 01:48:19,826
WE DIDN'T THINK OF OURSELVES

2730
01:48:19,893 --> 01:48:21,494
BEING POOR BECAUSE EDUCATION WAS

2731
01:48:21,561 --> 01:48:23,029
THE IMPORTANT THING.

2732
01:48:23,096 --> 01:48:26,333
AND I SHOW THAT PICTURE OF ME, I

2733
01:48:26,399 --> 01:48:29,936
WOULDN'T HAVE SHOWN 10 OR 20 OR

2734
01:48:30,003 --> 01:48:31,137
30 YEARS AGO BUT NOW I DON'T

2735
01:48:31,204 --> 01:48:32,906
CARE IF YOU SEE THE BALD-HEADED

2736
01:48:32,973 --> 01:48:33,106
BABY.

2737
01:48:33,173 --> 01:48:35,775
IF I COULD GO FROM THIS LITTLE

2738
01:48:35,842 --> 01:48:37,077
FARM, THIS BALD-HEADED BABY ON

2739
01:48:37,143 --> 01:48:40,146
THE FARM TO THE PATH AND

2740
01:48:40,213 --> 01:48:41,982
POSITIONS AND TRAVELS THAT I'VE

2741
01:48:42,048 --> 01:48:43,550
HAD, THEN ANYBODY SHOULD BE ABLE

2742
01:48:43,617 --> 01:48:46,253
TO DO IT.

2743
01:48:46,319 --> 01:48:48,255
AND JUST IT'S A MATTER OF

2744
01:48:48,321 --> 01:48:49,890
KNOWING WHAT'S IMPORTANT.

2745
01:48:49,956 --> 01:48:51,091
IT WAS A MATTER OF KNOWING TO

2746
01:48:51,157 --> 01:48:53,159
READ, TO KEEP UP WITH YOUR

2747
01:48:53,226 --> 01:48:55,795
LESSONS, REMEMBER I WENT THROUGH

2748
01:48:55,862 --> 01:48:58,098
TOTALLY SEGREGATED SCHOOLS, AND

2749
01:48:58,164 --> 01:48:59,399
SO -- BUT TEACHERS NOURISHED US.

2750
01:48:59,466 --> 01:49:05,639
YOU  MAY NOT HAVE HAD EQUIPMENT

2751
01:49:05,705 --> 01:49:08,808
AND LABS OTHERS HAD BUT YOU HAD

2752
01:49:08,875 --> 01:49:10,010
NOURISHMENT OF TEACHERS WHO KNEW

2753
01:49:10,076 --> 01:49:11,111
YOU, YOUR FAMILIES, YOUR

2754
01:49:11,177 --> 01:49:11,511
COMMUNITY.

2755
01:49:11,578 --> 01:49:13,647
IT COMES BACK TO WHAT I SAID

2756
01:49:13,713 --> 01:49:16,483
BEFORE, WHICH NATE AND OTHERS

2757
01:49:16,549 --> 01:49:18,685
POINTED OUT, YOU'VE GOT TO --

2758
01:49:18,752 --> 01:49:20,220
SOME SAY YOU CAN ONLY BE WHAT

2759
01:49:20,287 --> 01:49:23,290
YOU SEE BUT I HADN'T REALLY SEEN

2760
01:49:23,356 --> 01:49:25,458
A WOMAN PHYSICIAN.

2761
01:49:25,525 --> 01:49:27,327
I DIDN'T KNOW, BUT SOMEHOW THAT

2762
01:49:27,394 --> 01:49:28,395
IMPRESSED ME AS SOMETHING I

2763
01:49:28,461 --> 01:49:29,062
WANTED TO DO.

2764
01:49:29,129 --> 01:49:30,430
I THINK IF YOU'RE ADVANCED AND

2765
01:49:30,497 --> 01:49:32,565
WANT TO BE IN SCIENCE OR

2766
01:49:32,632 --> 01:49:33,900
MEDICINE, YOU WANT TO ACCOMPLISH

2767
01:49:33,967 --> 01:49:35,201
SOMETHING, KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE

2768
01:49:35,268 --> 01:49:36,636
PRIZE AND WHAT YOU WANT TO DO

2769
01:49:36,703 --> 01:49:39,039
AND GO FOR IT.

2770
01:49:39,105 --> 01:49:42,542
AND AS I THINK -- IS IT KEN OR

2771
01:49:42,609 --> 01:49:42,876
TAYLOR?

2772
01:49:42,943 --> 01:49:44,110
SOMEBODY ALREADY SAID REACH FOR

2773
01:49:44,177 --> 01:49:45,278
THE STARS BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T

2774
01:49:45,345 --> 01:49:47,247
GO FOR WHAT IS THE BEST, WHAT

2775
01:49:47,314 --> 01:49:49,316
YOU'RE NOT SURE YOU CAN ATTAIN,

2776
01:49:49,382 --> 01:49:51,084
YOU'LL NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU MIGHT

2777
01:49:51,151 --> 01:49:52,285
HAVE MISSED.

2778
01:49:52,352 --> 01:49:54,254
I NEVER WOULD HAVE DREAMED

2779
01:49:54,321 --> 01:49:56,656
COMING UP IN HALIFAX OR

2780
01:49:56,723 --> 01:49:57,757
LYNCHBURG I WOULD BE SITTING ON

2781
01:49:57,824 --> 01:50:00,627
THE STAGE AT NIH GIVING YOU

2782
01:50:00,694 --> 01:50:02,162
ADVICE ABOUT MY CAREER.

2783
01:50:02,228 --> 01:50:05,732
BUT IT'S JUST -- YOU KNOW, I WAS

2784
01:50:05,799 --> 01:50:07,934
NOT AFRAID TO GO FOR NEW

2785
01:50:08,001 --> 01:50:08,234
COMMUNITIES.

2786
01:50:08,301 --> 01:50:09,035
MANY CAME THROUGH.

2787
01:50:09,102 --> 01:50:11,104
SOME DIDN'T, SOME DID.

2788
01:50:11,171 --> 01:50:14,374
SO, MY ADVICE IS, YOU KNOW, JUST

2789
01:50:14,441 --> 01:50:16,576
BE -- THINK ABOUT HOW FORTUNATE

2790
01:50:16,643 --> 01:50:18,678
YOU ARE TO EVEN BE CONSIDERING

2791
01:50:18,745 --> 01:50:20,313
CAREERS IN SCIENCE AND MEDICINE

2792
01:50:20,380 --> 01:50:22,282
AND JUST GO FOR IT AND GIVE IT

2793
01:50:22,349 --> 01:50:24,351
YOUR ALL AND AGAIN, AS I SAID

2794
01:50:24,417 --> 01:50:26,119
BEFORE, DON'T LET THOSE

2795
01:50:26,186 --> 01:50:27,954
DISTRACTIONS TAKE YOUR MIND AND

2796
01:50:28,021 --> 01:50:29,489
YOUR PURPOSE AWAY FROM YOU.

2797
01:50:29,556 --> 01:50:31,024
I THINK I'VE REPEATED THAT OVER

2798
01:50:31,091 --> 01:50:36,529
AND OVER BUT I REALLY FEEL

2799
01:50:36,596 --> 01:50:37,230
STRONGLY.

2800
01:50:37,297 --> 01:50:38,398
REMEMBER THE BALD-HEADED BABY ON

2801
01:50:38,465 --> 01:50:41,768
THE FARM, AND HERE I AM ON

2802
01:50:41,835 --> 01:50:44,604
COVERS OF MAGAZINES, WHO WOULD

2803
01:50:44,671 --> 01:50:45,839
HAVE EVER THOUGHT.

2804
01:50:45,905 --> 01:50:47,574
>> I'M HUMBLED BY EACH AND EVERY

2805
01:50:47,640 --> 01:50:48,441
ONE OF YOU.

2806
01:50:48,508 --> 01:50:50,110
I'M TRYING NOT TO CRY BECAUSE

2807
01:50:50,176 --> 01:50:52,712
I'M A LITTLE EMOTIONAL.

2808
01:50:52,779 --> 01:50:55,215
BUT TO SHARE THE AIR WITH YOU

2809
01:50:55,281 --> 01:50:58,084
ALL, TO ME, IS JUST PRICELESS.

2810
01:50:58,151 --> 01:51:00,053
AT THIS POINT WE'RE GOING TO

2811
01:51:00,120 --> 01:51:01,688
HAVE OUR LAST QUESTION IN THE

2812
01:51:01,755 --> 01:51:01,988
AUDIENCE.

2813
01:51:02,055 --> 01:51:03,757
AND WE'RE THEN GOING TO CLOSE

2814
01:51:03,823 --> 01:51:04,524
OUT OUR PROGRAM.

2815
01:51:04,591 --> 01:51:06,326
>> WELL, THIS IS NOT A QUESTION.

2816
01:51:06,393 --> 01:51:10,330
I JUST WANT TO SAY, DR. PINN,

2817
01:51:10,397 --> 01:51:13,199

PROGRAM.

2822
01:51:19,606 --> 01:51:20,740
I CAME HERE TO OBSERVE.

2823
01:51:20,807 --> 01:51:23,076
AND I HAD NO IDEA WHAT A TREAT I

2824
01:51:23,143 --> 01:51:26,913
WAS IN FOR, TO BE ABLE TO HEAR

2825
01:51:26,980 --> 01:51:27,914

SO THANK YOU.

2829
01:51:35,255 --> 01:51:36,956

[APPLAUSE]

2831
01:51:38,224 --> 01:51:42,095
>> I THINK THOSE WERE WONDERFUL

2832
01:51:42,162 --> 01:51:42,862
SENTIMENTS TO END OUR PROGRAM

2833
01:51:42,929 --> 01:51:43,196

TAYLOR HARDEN.

2844
01:52:10,090 --> 01:52:13,326
THIS EVENT HAS BEEN A TIMELESS

2845
01:52:13,393 --> 01:52:15,395
CELEBRATION OF EXCELLENCE AND

2846
01:52:15,462 --> 01:52:17,897
RESILIENCE, AND THE ENDURING

SHAPED THE LANDSCAPE OF HEALTH

2849
01:52:24,904 --> 01:52:26,906
AND SCIENCE.

2850
01:52:26,973 --> 01:52:28,975
THEIR STORIES RESONATE, NOT JUST

2851
01:52:29,042 --> 01:52:34,447
IN THE CONTEXT OF THE PAST SIX

2852
01:52:34,514 --> 01:52:36,950

01:52:39,452 --> 01:52:43,189
PURSUIT OF KNOWLEDGE IS MARKED

01:52:45,592 --> 01:52:46,726
CONTINUED EXCELLENCE.

2857
01:52:46,793 --> 01:52:52,432
AS WE CARRY FORWARD THE LESSONS

2858
01:52:52,499 --> 01:52:56,136

2859
01:52:56,202 --> 01:52:59,005

01:53:09,649 --> 01:53:12,552
FORMS CONTINUES TO FLOURISH.

2864
01:53:12,619 --> 01:53:14,521
I'M GOING TO INTERRUPT BECAUSE

2865
01:53:14,587 --> 01:53:18,558
DR. HARDING AND DR. OLDEN SAID

2866
01:53:18,625 --> 01:53:19,325
WHAT RESONATED WITH ME.

2867
01:53:19,392 --> 01:53:23,363
EQUITY IS AIR.

2868
01:53:23,429 --> 01:53:25,465
SO EVERYONE DESERVES EQUITY.

2869
01:53:25,532 --> 01:53:28,201
AND WE ALL HAVE EXCELLENCE.

2870
01:53:28,268 --> 01:53:31,804
TODAY WE'RE CELEBRATING BLACK

2871
01:53:31,871 --> 01:53:32,338
EXCELLENCE.

2872
01:53:32,405 --> 01:53:34,774
BUT EVERYONE HAS THE OPPORTUNITY

2873
01:53:34,841 --> 01:53:37,043
AS WE'VE HEARD TO SUCCEED, NO

2874
01:53:37,110 --> 01:53:41,214
MATTER WHAT YOUR BARRIERS ARE,

2875
01:53:41,281 --> 01:53:47,020
TO NOT ALLOW THE ISMS TO IMPACT

2876
01:53:47,086 --> 01:53:50,723
US BUT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE KNOW

2877
01:53:50,790 --> 01:53:51,291
NO LIMITS.

2878
01:53:51,357 --> 01:53:55,495
I BELIEVE THERE ARE NO LIMITS.

2879
01:53:55,562 --> 01:53:56,663
SOMEONE SAYS I CAN'T?

2880
01:53:56,729 --> 01:53:57,664
OKAY, I CAN.

2881
01:53:57,730 --> 01:54:00,500
THERE ARE NO LIMITS.

2882
01:54:00,567 --> 01:54:04,737

01:54:10,276 --> 01:54:11,411
TRAILBLAZERS, THAT IS NOT

2886
01:54:11,477 --> 01:54:15,181
CONFINED ONLY TO A SPECIFIC AREA

2887
01:54:15,248 --> 01:54:19,118
BUT IS A TIMELESS INSPIRATION

2888
01:54:19,185 --> 01:54:21,921
THAT TRANSCENDS BOUNDARIES, AND

2889
01:54:21,988 --> 01:54:26,326
PROPELS US INTO A FUTURE WHERE

2890
01:54:26,392 --> 01:54:28,294
