	Shirley Tilghman: Stand up and be counted \| eG weekly \| EducationGuardian.co.uk
		Tilghman concedes it is very difficult to balance an active research career with raising children, but is keen to stress the positives.
		Tilghman, who received the Princeton president's award for distinguished teaching in 1996, and still teaches at the university, believes that students have to be exposed early on to the most exciting problems facing modern science.
		Tilghman is also concerned by the US government's declining support for research in science and engineering -which started long before George W Bush - and by the closing of doors to overseas students since the 9/11 attacks.

	Shirley M. Tilghman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Shirley M. Tilghman (born Shirley Marie Caldwell, September 17, 1946) was elected Princeton University’s first woman president on May 5, 2001, and assumed office on June 15, 2001.
		Tilghman’s work in molecular genetics focused on the regulation of genes during development, particularly in the field of genomic imprinting.
		Tilghman also signed on to the Ivy League-wide Seven-week athletic moratorium, in which intercollegiate athletes were enjoined from practicing for seven weeks during the academic year in order to encourage them to participate in other activities.

	Non-coding RNAs help silence the mammalian transcription
		Shirley Tilghman and colleagues (Princeton University) lend new insight into the mechanism of genomic imprinting, demonstrating a necessary role for a non-coding RNA transcript in the silencing of an imprinted gene cluster in mice.
		In the mouse, a cluster of nine genes on the distal end of the number 7 chromosome is imprinted.
		Tilghman and colleagues made a series of targeted alterations to ascertain which sequences are responsible for their paternal-specific silencing.

	Harvard Gazette: Tilghman 'dismayed' by Atwood's latest
		Tilghman, a groundbreaking biochemist and the first female president of Princeton University, said that she is an eager and enthusiastic reader of Atwood's fiction, but that she found her fellow Canadian's latest effort "painful reading" because of its unsympathetic portrayal of scientists.
		Tilghman, who participated in cloning the first mammalian gene and has been involved in the planning of the Human Genome Project, admitted that much of the public's fear and confusion has resulted from breakthroughs in the biological sciences.
		Tilghman said that creating a society in which women are able to realize their aspirations in a way that is compatible with raising children and having meaningful family lives is a campaign of the feminist revolution that remains to be won.

	Power Line: The lady or the Tiger?
		Tilghman: There are 25 years of good social science that demonstrate the many cultural practices that act collectively to discourage women from entering and continuing careers in science and engineering.
		Shirley Tilghman, on the other hand, is firmly ensconced as head of Princeton after publicly denouncing Summers for referring to this ample body of work.
		If Tilghman really were the model manager that the Wall Street Journal makes her out to be, she would ruthlessly cut such waste and return the university to its original mission of enlightening students.

		Under Tilghman's administration, the University released the plans for Whitman College, the sixth of Princeton's residential colleges, designed to hold some of the 500 new undergraduates who will be admitted when the Wythes Plan takes effect.
		Defenders of Tilghman's hiring point out that she also appointed Charles Kalmbach as the Vice President for Finance and Administration, the highest non-academic administrative post, and David Dobkin as Dean of the Faculty, both of whom are men (as is Gutmann's replacement, Woodrow Wilson School professor Christopher L. Eisgruber.)
		President Tilghman also came under fire by athletes for signing on to the Ivy League-wide Seven-week athletic moratorium, in which intercollegiate athletes were enjoined from practicing for seven weeks during the academic year in order to encourage them to participate in other activities.

		Each year President Tilghman meets with alumni to discuss the future plans of the University, however beginning this year the president said she would like to begin reaching out more to existing students, as well.
		Regarding the student body increase, President Tilghman told students that the decision was not a decision taken lightly.
		Because the hall is being planned for one of the last open spaces on campus, in an area previously occupied by tennis courts, President Tilghman said the University is starting to research what other areas may be used for buildings in the future as the campus continues to grow.

	OF MENTORS, WOMEN, AND MEN: THE RISE OF A STAR SHINES LIGHT ON WOMEN'S ROLE IN SCIENCES
		Tilghman attributes her ability to beat the statistics to "stubbornness, a sense of humor, and a failure to recognize reality." In a freshman physics class, she inadvertently touched an electrode and got a big shock.
		Tilghman took flak for her commitment to those issues when, in a 1993 New York Times opinion-editorial, she criticized the tenure system as unfair to women because it requires mountains of labor during childbearing years.
		Shirley is the remarkable person who is able to be accepted by men and by women--respected by men who really do have trouble accepting other women scientists.

		Tilghman and colleagues sought to test Haig's theory about polyandrous mammals in monogamous species in which both parents have an equal interest in the offspring's survival.
		Tilghman's team concluded that imprinting is rapidly evolving and could contribute to a high rate of speciation in mammals.
		Tilghman suggests that it may be that imprinting did not arise to benefit mammals.

	Young People For Blog :: On Shirley M. Tilghman
		Shirley M. Tilghman, President of Princeton University, is quite unlike her peer presidents at other Ivy League universities throughout the country.
		As a woman scientist, Tilghman has advocated expanding the student body at Princeton to include students who might not have had the opportunities that over 50% of the current student body has but have still managed to excel and seeks to change the system of the Eating Clubs to alter their homogeneous selections.
		While Presidnet Tilghman has certainly learned much in her current position at Princeton (she has been there since 1986), I think she is a beacon of hope that higher education can provide opportunities for students that are not controlled by media and politics.

	Washington Week: Student Voices (O)
		Tilghman said opposition to Darwinian evolution began with "a small group of evangelical Christians" who, after creationist theory failed to gain popularity, "went back to the drawing board" and started pushing intelligent design as an alternative to Darwinism.
		Tilghman, however, said the approach lacks the substance of a scientific theory.
		According to Tilghman, the methods of intelligent design supporters are comparable to an attack on Einstein's famous E = mc2 equation from an opponent who suggested a new relationship among mass, energy and the speed of light without any experimental evidence.
