Nearly 37 percent of all female deaths in America occur from CVD. Yet, misperceptions still exist that CVD is not a real problem for women.

He will cover current trends and treatments in women's stroke and cardiovascular health issues, and what is being discovered through research. This event is made possible through a Partners In Research Program with the National Institute of Health and is co-sponsored by the Michigan Institute for Clinical and Health Research and the UM Health Sciences Libraries.http://www.aadl.org/video/view/6432Ann Arbor District Library2010-03-01T12:31:18-05:00In the 10 years since his first story appeared in the debut issue of National Geographic Adventure, journalist and photographer Tom Clynes has covered Ebola outbreaks and armed conflicts in Central Africa, retraced Edmund Hillary's climbs in New Zealand, learned to fly in the Australian outback, and chased the ghosts of outlaws and freedom fighters in Iceland, Jamaica and Vanuatu.
