How have you been? What are you up to?

Can you believe that it’s been almost 25 years since we started awarding research scholarships to undergraduate research students?

Many are witnesses of the Howell Foundations growth: Our Board of Directors, Advisory and Legacy Councils, friends and especially our donors help us make sure awareness of the need for women’s health research continues to grow.

Most importantly, you have been an integral part of our mission to “Keep the women we love healthy.”  We are extremely proud of your strive in the field of women’s health.  We are encouraged by your dedication and commitment.  Every time we see your publications, or we have the opportunity to follow your career, or we have you as a guest speaker at our events, our work to keep the women we love healthy comes full circle.

As you may know, we lost our beloved Dr. Howell in 2018.  Now, more than ever, we are committed to keeping her legacy of care alive, specifically in the area of women’s health research.  We are dedicating 2019 to the life of this remarkable woman, with a series of testimonials about how her dedication impacted our community.

As we approach our 25th anniversary, we are revamping our digital efforts. Your work is instrumental in this wonderful story; a story in which women’s health is properly addressed with factual research that includes women.   We need your help to move the Howell Foundation to greater heights in the next 25 years so that more scholarships can be given to train the next generations.  Will you?

Let us know what you are up to. We would certainly love to hear from you, and if you allow it, boast about all your accomplishments through our promotional material (blog, web, newsletters, etc.).  If you are interested, please contact me. (For those of you who have received a Howell Scholarship or grant in the past 5 years, yes, I am the lady that has been driving you crazy with the click of the camera!).

Please let me know:
• How did the Howell Scholarship influence your life?
• What is your current top priority in women’s health?
• Can you send a picture?

If you have a moment, follow us on our Facebook and Linked In pages. I hope to hear from you soon and have the opportunity to connect!

Thank you!

Jeanne F. Loring, Ph.D., Research Professor, Scripps Research Institute The Doris A. Howell Foundation hosted a panel of Parkinson’s disease specialists who presented the advances in research and the challenges that still lie ahead in the search for a cure for this terrible disease.    The panel presented and discussed topics related to the research advancements currently being conducted, the efforts of the Parkinson’s Disease Association to continue funding Parkinson’s Disease research, testimony from a Parkinson’s patient, the latest in treatment, and a caregiver’s perspective on the challenges of providing care for a Parkinson’s Disease patient.  To understand the advancements made to treat patients with Parkinson’s, it is important to understand what happens in our brain that causes this degenerative disease.   We all have nerve cells that release dopamine, responsible for sending signals to the part of our brain that tells our bodies how and wh...

On Science and Tattoo’s: One that you might DEFINITELY want to get!

The Howell Foundation will be kicking off the year with a presentation on tattoos… not the kind that stay with you for life, but the one that can definitely help in saving your life. What was once thought to be science fiction is becoming a reality, thanks to the research of Dr. Todd Coleman at UCSD.  His research is making strides in marrying computer sciences with biology and neurology through the elaboration of a flexible, portable “tattoo” that picks up electric signals in the body and transmits them wirelessly to any medical electrical device through applied mathematics. This “tattoo” seems to have all the components of your cell phone:  a wireless antenna that allows gathered information to be transmitted, the ability to wirelessly transfer power onto the device, Light Emitting Devices (LED) and light sensing devices to pick up information on the body’s blood oxygenation, temperature, your body’s mechanical strains and a variety of electrical signals on t...
