  • SEXUAL HARASSMENT of WOMEN in ACADEMIC SCIENCES, ENGINEERING, and MEDICINE Statement of Paula A
    SEXUAL HARASSMENT OF WOMEN IN ACADEMIC SCIENCES, ENGINEERING, AND MEDICINE Statement of Paula A. Johnson, MD, MPH President Wellesley College and Co-Chair, Committee on the Impacts of Sexual Harassment in Academia Committee on Women in Science, Engineering, and Medicine Division on Policy and Global Affairs The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine before the Committee on Science, Space, and Technology U.S. House of Representatives June 12, 2019 Good morning, Madam Chairwoman Johnson, Ranking Member Lucas, and members of the Committee. My name is Paula Johnson. I am President of Wellesley College and served as co-chair of the Committee on the Impacts of Sexual Harassment in Academia of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, which was formed in October 2016, and which released its final report on June 12, 2018 – one year ago today. The National Academy of Sciences was chartered by Congress in 1863 to advise the government on matters of science and technology and later expanded to include the National Academies of Engineering and Medicine. The National Academies have always concerned themselves with addressing some of society's toughest challenges and with matters that affect the integrity of science and the health of the nation. So it was fitting for them to take up the question of how sexual harassment impacts academic fields of science, engineering, and medicine, and therefore impacts the scientists, physicians, engineers, and practitioners that work in these fields and society more broadly. This work, and the outreach efforts conducted since the report was released, has been generously supported by the National Science Foundation, as the lead sponsor, as well as by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, National Institutes of Health, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the Burroughs Wellcome Fund, the Henry Luce Foundation, the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, and the Alfred P.

  • Does the College President Know the History of Her Own College?
    SPECIAL EDITION (November 2016) D. Bruce Lockerbie, Chairman/CEO/Editor DOES THE COLLEGE PRESIDENT KNOW THE HISTORY OF HER OWN COLLEGE? A recent SPECIAL EDITION of THE PAIDEIA LETTER offered a glimpse at the folly being perpetrated on many university campuses in the name of “democratic protest” by students and their professors disappointed by the results of the presidential election. Today the woman cutting my hair told me that another cli- ent’s daughter is enrolled at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (photo left) where, the student reports, she has had no classes meet since Election Day. “Every class has been cancelled or devoted to coloring books and weeping,” she says. “Yesterday it was free cocoa to soothe our spirits.” This undergraduate continues, “My parents are spending $60,000 a year for my education, and it’s being stolen from me by radicals!” With the support and collaboration of adminis- trators, no doubt. At least, so it appears at Wellesley College (photo left), one of MIT’s neighboring colleges, whose President Paula Johnson (photo right) defends her institution and her “serious concern” over multiple reports of “adverse incidents” on many campuses. Her letter appeared on November 15, in The New York Times. President Johnson—a distinguished cardiologist and new president—speaks of her college’s founding as “a revolution- ary act inspired by a vision for democracy and equal opportunity for women across all socioeconomic back- grounds.” Perhaps so, but Johnson’s emphasis on politics and sociology more nearly reflects the philosophy of Wellesley’s most famous current alumna, Hillary Rodham Clinton (photo right), Class of 1969, than that of its founders.

  • Connors Center 10 Year Report
    The Mary Horrigan Connors Center for Women’s Health and Gender Biology TEN YEARS of Health Advancements for Women of All Ages, Ethnicities and Nations Dear Friends, Just 20 years ago, few people understood that women are affected differently than men by many health problems. Women were excluded from clinical investigations for fear of the impact on their reproductive health, and treatments for women with serious diseases were often based on research conducted only on men. Today, an emerging field of women’s health recognizes the enormous impact of sex (being male or female) and gender (one’s sense of one’s self as male or female in society) on health and disease. Our knowledge that differences in the cellular physiology of men and women affect health across the life span is propelling significant advances in our prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of disease. The Mary Horrigan Connors Center for Women’s Health and Gender Biology at Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH) was launched in 2002 with a simple yet profound mission: to improve the health of women and transform their care. Building on the long-standing commitment of BWH to the health of women, the Connors Center promotes a vibrant and synergistic model that bridges research, clinical care, training, TABLE OF CONTENTS leadership, and public policy to produce outcomes that improve women’s health. 2 Establishing the Field Accelerating our progress is paramount, as pervasive gender disparities in health 5 Advancing Research remain. As essential contributors to the workforce, caregivers, bearers of children, and 7 Improving the Care navigators of services for families and friends, women are central to the productivity of Women and vitality of societies around the world.
