南希·霍普金斯大学博士指出癌症生物学家在美国麻省理工学院（MIT），是玛格丽特·L.克里普克传奇奖在癌症医学与肿瘤学提高妇女地位的2012收件人。

The Kripke Legend Award recognizes scientific and medical leaders who have made extraordinary efforts to hire a diverse workforce and advance women’s careers. It honors Professor Emerita Margaret Kripke, Ph.D., a distinguished scientist who achieved many firsts for women atMD Anderson, culminating in her promotion to executive vice president and chief academic officer.

“At a time when gender equity issues were not discussed in academia, Nancy Hopkins took the responsibility to shine a light on inequities for women faculty at MIT,” says伊丽莎白·特拉维斯，博士,MD Andersonassociate vice president of Women Faculty Programs, which sponsors the award. “Women faculty are better positioned to succeed because of her unwavering advocacy, and our institutions are stronger.”

Hopkins led MIT’s first Committee on Women Faculty in the School of Science. The group’s 1999 report showed marked disparities between opportunities and treatment for male and female faculty members. The report led to numerous improvements in the status and number of women faculty at MIT and increased awareness on campuses around the nation.

“I’m profoundly honored to receive this award,” says Hopkins. “I thankMD Anderson其代表在癌症研究和医学所有女性的领导力“。乐动体育LDsports中国
