Host: Wendy Marie Ingram, PhD, is a Psychiatric Epidemiology Postdoctoral Fellow at Johns Hopkins School of Public Health. Guest Interview: Patricia Flatley Brennan, RN, PhD, Director of the National Library of Medicine (NLM), a component of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The NLM is the world's largest biomedical library and the producer of digital information services used by scientists, health professionals and members of the public worldwide. Since assuming the directorship in August 2016, Dr. Brennan has positioned the Library to be the hub of data science at NIH and a national and international leader in the field. She spearheaded the development of a new strategic plan that envisions NLM a platform for biomedical discovery and data-powered health.  Leveraging NLM's heavily used data and information resources, intramural research, and extramural research and training programs, Brennan aims for NLM to accelerate data-driven discovery and health, engage with new users in new ways, and develop the workforce for a data-driven future. Her professional accomplishments reflect her background, which unites engineering, information technology, and clinical care to improve the public health and ensure the best possible experience in patient care.
