Carol Feghali-Bostwick in Pulmonary sent me this article about women
doctors being blamed for the 'shortage of doctors' because they work
fewer hours a week.

The article is attached as a pdf in case you can't open the link.
Also, I do want to mention that Carol was very recently selected to
receive the second annual Carol Bausbaum award given by the ATS
Respiratory Cell and Molecular Biology (RCMB) Assembly.This award has
been created to honor a junior faculty member who has (1) demonstrated
excellence in research present in abstracts submitted to the RCMB, (2)
has a record of research that is supportive of the mission of the
RCMB--to promote the study of the scientific basis of lung disease, and
(3) promotes those ideas that were in the spirit of Carol Basbaum's
work--enthusiasm, a dedication to mentoring, and high quality research
in the pursuit of mechanisms of lung disease. So congratulations, Carol-
well done! And I hope that other listserv subscribers will use this
forum to share other awards to or notable achievements by women faculty
in our department so we can toot each others' horns!
