NEW HYDE PARK, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov 10, 2025--
Stacey E. Rosen, MD, a cardiologist and executive director of Northwell Health’sKatz Institute for Women’s Health and the 2025-2026 volunteer president of the American Heart Association, delivered a poignant and powerful Presidential Address at the opening of the Association’s Scientific Sessions 2025, which took place November 7-10. Her keynote speech, which kicked off the annual conference, challenged decades of male-centric research, outlining a transformative vision for the future of women’s cardiovascular and cerebrovascular health and calling for a fundamental shift in scientific inquiry and clinical practice.

Addressing an audience of more than 10,000 leading cardiologists, researchers, and media, Dr. Rosen opened with a compelling analogy of two babies, her son and daughter, born on the same day in 1992. She lamented how, historically, her son and other boys around the world would benefit from a vast body of sex-specific research, prevention strategies and treatment options, while for girls it was “not so much.”
“For too long, it was widely believed that human hearts were human hearts, and human brains were human brains,” Dr. Rosen explained, leading scientists to study men and simply apply any findings to women. This flawed approach persisted because, as she noted from discussions with leading experts in the past. “We didn’t think it mattered,” said Dr. Rosen, senior vice president of Women’s Health at Northwell.
Dr. Rosen traced the origins of this male-centric model back to the 1940s, highlighting how early population studies identifying risk factors for coronary artery disease predominantly included only men. While advancements led to decreasing heart disease mortality rates for men, women’s mortality rates continued to rise, eventually surpassing men’s, and the gap widened. This critical disparity spurred a series of pivotal initiatives, including the establishment of the NIH’s Office of Research in Women’s Health and groundbreaking studies that began to uncover sex-differentiated mechanisms of heart disease.
Despite significant progress, Dr. Rosen emphasized that serious questions remain, such as why women with diabetes have a markedly different risk factor profile than men, why women are more prone to migraines with aura (a stroke risk factor), and why mechanisms of sudden cardiac death differ by sex.
Her remarks ended with a powerful call for action and an appeal for broader engagement. Dr. Rosen stressed that improving women’s health requires more than just women scientists and clinicians.
“Women trying to answer these critical questions don’t need men merely as allies … what we really need are men as accomplices to improve the heart and brain health of women!” she asserted, challenging the audience to “make a name for yourself” by pursuing groundbreaking science in this vital area.
“Dr. Rosen’s Presidential Address was a bold and inspiring call to action that underscores the urgent need to transform how we approach women’s cardiovascular health,” said Nancy Brown, CEO of the American Heart Association. “Dr. Rosen has been a longtime volunteer and tireless advocate for the American Heart Association’s Go Red for Women movement and has championed initiatives like our Research Goes Red and the Go Red for Women Venture Fund. These programs are driving innovation, amplifying women’s voices and accelerating solutions that improve outcomes for all women.”
The American Heart Association’s Scientific Sessions is the world’s premier cardiovascular conference, bringing together basic scientists, clinicians, and researchers from across the globe. This annual event serves as a critical platform for presenting the latest groundbreaking science, research and advances in cardiovascular medicine. Attendees engage in learning, networking and collaboration, shaping the future of heart and brain health through the unveiling of new guidelines, pivotal trials and innovative therapies across a wide spectrum of specialties. Having taken the helm as the Association’s volunteer president in June, Dr. Rosen helps share insights to guide the strategic direction of various Association committees.
At Northwell, Dr. Rosen oversees Northwell’s Katz Institute for Women’s Health. Its mission is to improve the health of women throughout their lives, bridging the gap between wellness and personalized care delivery. With a dedicated focus on women, the Katz Institute offers a comprehensive approach and sets the standards for excellence in patient-centered women’s health care. It also serves as a convener and amplifier for all of Northwell’s women’s health initiatives, including supporting sex- and gender-specific research, providing expert, coordinated clinical care and educating the community on prevention and well-being.

The Golden Globes bill themselves as Hollywood’s booziest bash. This year, is anyone ready to party?
Political tension and industrywide uncertainty are the prevailing moods heading into Sunday night's 83rd Golden Globes. Hollywood is coming off a disappointing box-office year and now anxiously awaits the fate of one of its most storied studios, Warner Bros.
A celebratory mood might be even more elusive given that the wide majority of the performers and filmmakers congregating at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California, oppose the policies of President Donald Trump. Likely to be on the minds of many attendees: the recent U.S. involvement in Venezuela and the fatal shooting of 37-year-old mother Renee Good in Minneapolis by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
But through their ups and downs, the Globes have always tried to put pomp over politics. Host Nikki Glaser has vowed as much.
“You’d be surprised that half the room had no clue why I was saying ‘Venezuela,’” Glaser told The Associated Press earlier in the week, referring to her comedy-club warm-ups. “People aren’t getting the news like we all are.”
Glaser, a comic known for her roast appearances, has promised to go after A-listers in her second time hosting.
“We’re going to hit Leo,” Glaser said. “The icebergs are coming.”
Here’s what to look for at this year’s Globes:
The Golden Globes kick off at 8 p.m. EST on CBS while streaming live for Paramount+ premium subscribers. E!’s red carpet coverage begins at 6 p.m. EST.
The Associated Press will be have a livestream show beginning at 4:30 p.m. Eastern with a mix of stars' arrivals, fashion shots and celebrity interviews. It will be available on YouTube and APNews.
The overwhelming Oscar favorite “One Battle After Another” comes in with a leading nine nominations. It’s competing in the Globes’ musical or comedy category, which means the drama side might be more competitive. There, Ryan Coogler’s “Sinners,” Chloé Zhao’s “Hamnet” and Joachim Trier’s “Sentimental Value” are all in the mix.
But thus far, “One Battle After Another” has cleaned up just about everywhere. Much of Paul Thomas Anderson’s cast is nominated, including DiCaprio, Teyana Taylor, Sean Penn, Chase Infiniti and Benicio Del Toro.
If it and “Sinners” take home the two biggest prizes, it will be a banner night for Warner Bros. even as its future hangs in the balance. The studio has agreed to be acquired by Netflix is a deal worth $82.7 billion. Movie theaters have warned such a result would be “a direct and irreversible negative impact on movie theaters around the world.”
The merger awaits regulatory approval, while Paramount Skydance is still trying to convince Warner shareholders to accept its rival offer.
After an audacious promotional tour for “Marty Supreme,” Timothée Chalamet is poised to win his first Globe in five nominations. In best actor, comedy or musical, he’ll have to beat DiCaprio, a three-time Globe winner, and Ethan Hawke (“Blue Moon”).
In best actress, comedy or musical, Rose Byrne is the favorite for her performance in the not especially funny A24 indie “If I Had Legs I’d Kick You.” One prominent nominee in the category, Cynthia Erivo (“Wicked: For Good”), won’t be attending due to her schedule in the West End production “Dracula.”
Jessie Buckley (“Hamnet”) is the clear front-runner in best actress, drama. In the star-studded best actor, drama, category, the Brazilian actor Wagner Moura (“The Secret Agent”) may win over Michael B. Jordan (“Sinners”) and Joel Edgerton (“Train Dreams”).
In the supporting categories, Teyana Taylor and Stellan Skarsgård come in the favorites.
The Globes, formerly presented by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, have no overlap or direct correlation with the Academy Awards. After being sold in 2023 to Todd Boehly’s Eldridge Industries and Dick Clark Productions, a part of Penske Media, the Globes are voted on by around 400 people. The Oscars are voted on by more than 10,500 professionals.
But in the fluctuating undulations of awards season, a good speech at the Globes can really boost an Oscar campaign. Last year, that seemed to be the case for Demi Moore, who won for “The Substance” and gave the night's most emotional speech. Mikey Madison (“Anora”), however, scored the upset win at the Oscars.
A few potentially good moments this year went instead in a Golden Eve ceremony earlier this week. There, the Cecil B. DeMille and Carol Burnett honorees, Helen Mirren and Sarah Jessica Parker, accepted their awards.
One to watch, if he wins, will be the Iranian director Jafar Panahi. His revenge drama “It Was Just an Accident” is up for four awards. Panahi has spent most of his career making films clandestinely, without approval of authorities, and was until recently banned from leaving the country. Last month, he was sentenced to a year in prison, which would be only his latest stint behind bars if Panahi returns home to serve it. This week, protests over Iran’s ailing economy have spread throughout the country in a new test to Iran's leaders.
For the first time, the Globes are trotting out a new podcast category. The nominees are: “Armchair Expert,” “Call Her Daddy,” “Good Hang With Amy Poehler,” “The Mel Robbins Podcast,” “SmartLess” and “Up First.”
In TV, HBO Max’s “The White Lotus” — another potential big winner for Warner Bros. — leads with six nominations. Netflix’s “Adolescence” comes in with five nods.
But the most closely watched nominee might be “The Studio.” The first season of Seth Rogen’s Hollywood satire memorably included an episode devoted to drama around a night at the Globes. (Sample line: “I remember when the red carpet of the Golden Globes actually stood for something.”) “The Studio” is up for three awards, giving three chances for life to imitate art.
