SUMMARY:Het Talks: Andrea Knittel and Carmina Valle
DESCRIPTION:Enjoy presentations by this year’s recipients of the Phillip 
 and Ruth Hettleman Prizes for Scholarly Achievement. The talks will provid
 e an engaging look into these distinguished early career scholars’ work.
  The late Phillip Hettleman\, a member of the Carolina class of 1921\, and
  his wife Ruth established their prestigious named award in 1986 to recogn
 ize the achievements of outstanding junior faculty.\n\nThere are five winn
 ers of the 2026 Hettleman Prizes. This Het Talks event features two of the
 m:\nAndrea Knittel\, Obstetrics and Gynecology\, School of Medicine \nKnit
 tel’s research is reshaping both scientific understanding and clinical p
 ractice by bringing attention to a historically understudied population an
 d developing evidence-based approaches to improve care. Her findings have 
 influenced how data on reproductive health in carceral settings are interp
 reted and have informed innovative interventions that prioritize treatment
  over incarceration. By integrating research\, clinical care\, and policy 
 innovation\, her work has the potential to improve health outcomes for ind
 ividuals and their families while driving system-level changes in health a
 nd justice systems.\n\nCarmina Valle\, Nutrition\, Gillings School of Glob
 al Public Health \nValle’s work is advancing cancer prevention and survi
 vorship care by demonstrating how digital tools can deliver scalable and c
 ost-efficient health interventions. Her research has shaped effective prac
 tices for using social media\, mobile health technologies\, and personaliz
 ed messaging to improve health behaviors\, reduce cancer risk\, and enhanc
 e quality of life among cancer survivors. By translating behavioral scienc
 e into practical\, widely deployable solutions\, her work is helping addre
 ss major public health challenges and expanding access to impactful interv
 entions across populations.\n\nThis is a virtual\, CLE Credit event.
