Stanford Medicine Alumni Association presents Women in Medicine and Science - Phyllis Gardner

[@tiararoxeanne1318]

What a remarkable woman! I'm not in medicine or academia, so pardon me if I just heard her name today. I watched a segment of 60 Minutes Australia about Elizabeth Holmes of Theranos. The reporter interviewed Dr. Pyhillis Gardner. Her answers, together with her body language, intrigued me! She was obviously smart, funny, and witty, and took no nonsense for an answer😂. The interview made me want to know more about her. It must be my lucky day that the first video that I clicked was this mini-biography of her. Thank you, uploader.🙏

Omg I did the exact same thing 🤣 I legit just finished watching it. Before the Prof came on, at the start, Holmes was giving some background on the sociopath at the centre of this 60 minutes story and when she mentioned that scum was 19 I just stopped (fluttering about between the lounge and kitchen) looked at the tv and said “19?!” And I kept finishing each of Holmes sentences with “at 19....” then Holmes introduced professor Gardner and the start talking the prof finished a sentence of describing the scum with “at 19”... I Laughed and said (to no one) ‘she’s awesome I wanna adopt her’ (as my new aunt lol). Then I saw your comment and revelled in the knowledge ‘I’m not the only one’! I want to say ‘don’t worry I’m not crazy but’... Although, To be fair I’m a Victorian and I may be suffering something I’ll dub ‘lockdown lunacy’

I did the same thing today! I wanted to see more of this woman. She is wonderful.

Same here: saw the 60 Minutes Australia. This was fascinating!

I did see the interview she did with 60 Minutes as you did, and as a person (male) who has expertise in medicine and science (MD/PhD) I find her her bluster and self-promotion to be somewhat unfortunate for someone in her position. I am not nor ever have been impressed in any way, by this woman and if there is a club like the "old boys club', she's part of the "Old Broads Club". Her reference to the "old white guys" thinking with the "small head" (she didn't say this but inferred it) when investing with Holmes and Theranos seems to suggest that somewhere along the line in her life, she may not have been the first girl standing along the wall that guys would ask to dance, and the jealousy related to Holmes seeped out. I just saw her comments as being beneath a woman who claims such medical, scientific and moral underpinning of her character. She's an "old broad" with old, standard archaic ideas of medicine and business, that's all I get from her, in spite of being at a progressive institution such as Stanford.

18:18-Checkpoint: I was accepted to imperial for another masters, even despite the tech layoffs happening. When seeing Dr Gardner speaking and mentioning of the fellowship she did at UCL, going to London. Personally, coming from a family where values of education are different and listening to her speak, gives me a sense of empowerment.❤

Highest respect and admiration for Dr Phyllis G. A true person in our society who we should be looking at as an example of humanity.

Thank you for posting this. I'm a big fan of Ms. Gardner.

Dr. Gardner, for you...

[@susanbrown6115]

Dr. Gardner is a national treasure, and people who say otherwise don't understand at all the extent of the consequences of what Holmes did. RIP Ian Gibbons.

Great storyteller!

[@joeblow4938]

This lady is only known for badmouthing Elizabeth Holmes. What has this lady actually done herself?

[@charmedprince]

Dr Gardner did not screw billionaires for one.

[@rasengan37]

She also developed several forms of slow released medication, including an adaptation for retention in the stomach. If you know how basic medicine works, you would understand how much of a big deal this is. She has also been involved in several start ups in the biopharma industry. The real question is what has Elizabeth Holmes done?

[@joeblow4938]

@@rasengan37 yeah, I see. So the answer is not much.
