Black History Month is a time to reflect on and respect the incredible impact that Black Americans have had on our history. One such person is Bennie Fleming, the first Black person to teach nursing at Rhode Island Hospital. After earning her nursing degree from one of the two Black medical schools of the time, Bonnie enlisted in the U.S. Cadet Nurse Corps, one of the only career pathways available to Black medical professionals then.

Throughout her 102 years, Bennie has served in the Armed Forces, volunteered and worked for medical systems, taught clinical orthopedics to Rhode Island Hospital nurses, raised her family, taught high school biology, earned an honorary doctorate, and been an integral part of her community.

A new study from Brown University Health researchers has identified a molecule that could change the way we treat glioblastomas. “Traditionally, researchers have focused on the overall behavior of a tumor by studying the average response across all the individual cells, using differences between the cells to interpret the average,” said Dr. Clark Chen, director of the Brain Tumor Program who led the research team. “Our study fundamentally flipped that approach. Rather than focusing on the average response, we focused on the differences between individual cells within the same tumor, and what we found could change how we treat glioblastoma.”
