Walter van den Broek, a psychiatrist who blogs at Dr. Shock MD PhD recently posted the following video about two of the first women who were hired on the tenure track by Stanford. The video was posted on YouTube last week by StanfordMedicine which offers the following explanation:

“When Carla Shatz, PhD, professor of neurobiology, and Helen Blau, PhD, professor of microbiology and immunology, came to Stanford in 1978, they were two of he first women to be hired on the tenure tract for basic science faculty. Over the decades, as their professional and personal paths have diverged and converged, they have remained the closest of friends. In this video, they discuss the courses their paths have taken and reflect on the rewards and challenges of their lives as women scientists.”
