Women-Led Codeathon. . .A First for NLM

It was an idea whose time had come. NLM is well known and respected for hosting and sponsoring codeathons that bring together researchers and coders from diverse technical backgrounds together to create tools that solve relevant problems for the biomedical community in a collaborative—not competitive—way. But now NLM can also be known for bringing gender…

All in Their Heads: When Faces Made the Case for Lobotomy

If you were mentally ill back in the late 1930s to late 1950s, doctors might have tried to cure you by drilling a hole in your brain and disconnecting the thalamus from the frontal lobe. They may have been convinced to employ this drastic surgery by eccentric neuroscientist Dr. Walter Freeman, “the world’s greatest proponent…

NLM’s Groundbreaking Work to Prevent Cervical Cancer

Cervical cancer is highly preventable—but only if you live in a place where there’s access to the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine and routine gynecological screening. Recent advances in vaccines protecting against HPV infection, which is the primary cause of the cancer, and improved cervical screening tests promise a future with a significantly reduced prevalence of…
