The Women in Science and Medicine Guide to information resources is available on the Library web site, and books featured in the Guide will be displayed at the Library entrance from February 6 through February 28, 2012. Both the Guide and the exhibit were developed in collaboration with the UT Southwestern Women in Science and Medicine Advisory Committee (WISMAC).
The exhibit coincides with the Southwestern Medical Foundation’s Ida M. Green Distinguished Visiting Professorship, Honoring Women in Science and Medicine. This year’s honoree is Judith Kimble, Ph.D., who is the Henry Vilas Professor of Biochemistry and Medical Genetics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Dr. Kimble will present “Stem Cells and RNA Regulation: Networks and Mechanism” on Wednesday, February 8, 2012, at 4 p.m. as part of the UT Southwestern University Lecture Series. The presentation will be given in the Excellence in Education Auditorium in the Simmons/Hamon Biomedical Research Building (Room NB2.101).
If you are unable to attend the presentation, a videotaped copy of the lecture should be available for checkout from the South Campus (main) Library within a few weeks. To locate the item, check the Library’s online catalog under “Judith Kimble.”
The “Women in Science and Medicine Guide” lists web sites, books, and databases arranged under headings such as:
- Biography/History
- Career Guidance/Management
- Gender, Science, & Medicine
- Professional Organizations
