org/cgi/content/short/362/8/752
Nanette Gartrell, MD, is the principal investigator of the USA National Longitudinal Lesbian
Family Study (NLLFS)—the longest-running study ever conducted on American lesbian and gay
families. Gartrell has been following a cohort of planned lesbian families in which the
offspring were conceived by donor insemination. This ongoing study is now in its 24th year,
with a retention rate of over 90%. The first report on the 17-year-old adolescent offspring
will be published by Pediatrics in July, 2010. For further information about the NLLFS, see
www.nllfs.org
Gartrell has written for the New York Times Magazine, the Christian Science Monitor, the
San Francisco Chronicle, and the Advocate. She is also the author of My Answer Is NO...if
that's okay with you: How Women Can Say NO with Confidence. (Simon & Schuster, 2008 &
2009). www.myanswerisno.com
Susan Love, MD, Live a Little Crown with Alice Domar came out in Jan 2010. It takes on the
health rules propagated in the media and was prompted by a talk I gave at the WIM
conference in Asilomar. The fifth edition of Dr Susan Love's Breast Book will be out in
October 2010. Meanwhile the Love/Avon Army of Women (www.armyofwomen.org) is a
novel initiative to democratize research into the cause of breast cancer. It will be featured
on the White House website innovation page soon.
Patricia Robertson, MD - The Lesbian Health and Research Center at UCSF celebrates a
decade of putting lesbian health in the national spotlight with the release of Lesbian Health
101: A Clinician's Guide, the first-ever textbook on the subject. The book gives the lesbian
health movement "another big foundation to start to build on. It's a leap forward, definitely,
in terms of recognition in the community and information about us," said Diane Sabin,
executive director of LHRC. Please read the reviews: San Francisco Chronicle and The Bay
Area Reporter
Dr. Robertson has received the Chancellor's Award at UCSF for the Advancement of Women.
