KNOWLEDGE IS POWER!

The National Library of Medicine (NLM), one of the institutes of the National Institutes of Health, is the world’s largest medical library. NLM maintains and makes available a vast print collection and produces electronic information resources on a wide variety of topics. The Black Women’s Agenda, Inc. (BWA) and the National Library of Medicine are partnering to share valuable information about NLM’s resources with African-American women and their families.

Do you questions about a particular medical condition? Medline Plus, http://medlineplus.gov, is NLM’s consumer health information website, containing information on over a million topics on conditions, diseases and wellness, health videos, health check tools, drug information, patient handouts, lab test information, directories and other resources. Are you concerned about the impact of hazardous substances on your community? Hazardous Substance Data Bank (HSDB), http://toxnet.nlm.nih.gov, is a data file that focuses on the toxicology of potentially dangerous chemicals. It contains information on human exposure, industrial hygiene, emergency handling procedures, environmental fate, regulatory requirements, and related areas.

We hope you will think about the NLM’s resources when you have questions about health issues. Students interested in STEM-related career will also find additional information and inspiration exploring these websites.

Each month BWA will highlight one or more NLM websites and the wealth of data that they offer you and your family. You can look for this information on the “Living Your Best Life at Every Age” and “Inform & Inspire” pages of our website. The Black Women’s Agenda hopes that you will use this information in conversations with your physician and to make informed life choices and decisions.

The Black Women`s Agenda is excited to celebrate the accomplishments of White House Press Secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre.

Karine Jean-Pierre has been promoted to Senior Advisor to The President of The United States, Joseph R. Biden effective immediately. She will maintain her position as Press Secretary simultaneously with her role as Senior Advisor.

"I think if you are passionate about what you want to be or where you want to go and you work very hard to that goal, it will happen. And, yes, you`ll be knocked down and you`ll have some tough times. And it won`t be easy all the time, but the rewards are pretty amazing, especially if you stay true to yourself.- Karine Jean-Pierre

Congratulations Karine!
