Dear Colleagues,
The articles in this month's HABIT serve as a reminder of how much one person can accomplish in a position of leadership -- and how much more might be accomplished if every position of leadership at a federal health agency was filled by a talented, committed leader who recognizes the importance of expanding our view of health beyond the purely biological.
Not that long ago, having high profile, national positions filled by strong scientists who recognize the potential of biobehavioral research was only a dream. Now we are faced with the task of finding replacements for the pioneers who pushed that dream toward reality.
There is a lot at stake in the appointments described below -- you can also see how federal policies that affect your work flow directly from the people who hold these leadership positions.
Keep your eyes open and your pens poised. Yours are voices that must be heard from as this new crop of leaders are named and begin their work.
Cheers -
Jessie Gruman, PhD
