*Friday Evening Lectures* 
<https://mbl.us16.list-manage.com/track/click?u=57a0a47b9fb10b5983b04175f&id=70d815a7a8&e=3e4cdb2fb1> 
will be offered virtually every Friday through August 14. The hour-long 
talks are geared for a diverse and engaged audience and appeal to 
scientists and non-scientists alike.

As the NIH's first Chief Officer for Scientific Workforce Diversity, Dr. 
Valantine will describe NIH’s current approach and activities related to 
promoting inclusive excellence by fostering workforce diversity. She 
will frame her presentation in the context of two colliding pandemics – 
COVID-19 and structural racism, highlighting the diversity and inclusion 
challenges facing biomedicine.

Dr. Valantine is the NIH’s first Chief Officer for Scientific Workforce 
Diversity and is a Senior Investigator in the Intramural Research 
Program at the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute. Prior to 
starting this position in 2014, she was Professor of Cardiovascular 
Medicine and the Senior Associate Dean for Diversity and Leadership at 
Stanford University.

In addition to her nationally recognized work in developing and 
implementing transformative approaches to diversity in academic 
medicine, Dr. Valantine has had a prestigious career in cardiology. She 
maintains an active clinical research program at the NIH that continues 
to have high impact on patient care.

Dr. Valantine studied biochemistry at London University and attended St. 
George’s Hospital Medical School. She completed her post-graduate work 
in the field of cardiology in London and later trained as a fellow at 
Stanford University with leading cardiologists and cardiac surgeons, 
including heart transplant pioneer Norman Shumway. Dr. Valantine has 
received numerous awards throughout her career including the NIH 
Director’s Pathfinder Award for Diversity in the Scientific Workforce 
and Best Doctor in America.
