What: Founding CEO of Tia Carolyn Witte has a new publication called XX Factor, and she recently sat down with Kathryn Schubert to talk about the real threats versus bluster on research in women’s health. (Spoiler: there are real threats ahead.) But some good news is that the Biden executive order on women’s health research still appears to be in effect.

Key line: “Of greatest concern to us right now are the large-scale reductions to our health workforce — from agencies including NIH, CDC, FDA, and more. These cuts are worrisome for many reasons, but to name a few we fear they could cause research delays, stifle innovation, reduce the ability of these agencies to attract the nation’s top scientific talent, and put America’s standing as a global scientific leader in jeopardy.” – Kathryn Shubert
