“I don’t accept an answer of no. This is the message I say to young people. And no one has the right to say, ‘You can’t bring a new perspective on things.'” That’s why I always say, ‘Be bold and be patient’. ”

Dr. Nora D. Volkowis the director of National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) National Institutes of Health. NIDA is the world’s largest funder of scientific research into the health aspects of drug use and addiction. Dr. Volkow’s research helped prove that drug addiction is a brain disorder.

She has also made important contributions to the neurobiology of obesity, ADHD, and aging.

“…Science should be data-driven, but science also has a religious nature. And once a model is created, it becomes very difficult to change it. It will be a long, long time before entrenched notions are questioned.”
— Dr. Nora Volkow

“I don’t accept an answer of no. This is the message I say to young people. And no one has the right to say, ‘You can’t bring a new perspective on things.'” That’s why I always say, ‘Be bold and be patient’. ”
— Dr. Nora Volkow

“When it comes to the war on drugs, I think we basically created a mechanism that could perpetuate structural racism. How its enforcement led to the imprisonment of young black Americans. It’s very tragic to see.”
— Dr. Nora Volkow
