HPV Podcast-Office of Research on Women's Health
The Office of Research on Women’s Health has launched a podcast titled “Pinn Point on Women’s Health,” hosted by Dr. Vivian Pinn, Associate Director for Research on Women’s Health and the Director of the Office of Research on Women’s Health. The monthly podcast will discuss the latest news in women’s health research and will include conversations with guests on a variety of subjects.
In the premiere episode, Dr. Pinn discusses the new HPV vaccine and what it means in terms of cervical cancer with Dr. Allan Hildesheim, a senior investigator with the National Cancer Institute, Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics.
In the first episode, Dr. Pinn tells listeners, “Each month on this podcast, we will take a look at the latest developments in the area of women’s health and the medical research that affects our lives.” In addition to the special guest, each podcast will feature a series of “Hot Flashes” that highlight some of the exciting new research developments in women’s health and inform listeners about sources of the information that may be useful to them.
“Podcasting” is a relatively new method of distributing audio and video information via the Internet to iPods and other portable media players on demand, so that it can be listened to at the user's convenience. The main benefit of podcasting is that listeners can sync content to their media player and take it with them to listen whenever they want to. Because podcasts are typically saved in MP3 format, they can also be listened to on nearly any computer.
