Board certified Pediatrician and mother of 6 and grandma 3 grew up on a tobacco farm in eastern NC.

As a young girl growing up in rural North Carolina, Lori didn’t have the luxuries of modern living—most notably, air conditioning. While helping her father around the farm, she once asked him if doctors worked in air-conditioned spaces. When he confirmed that they did, it sparked something in her: she decided then and there to become a doctor. That moment marked the beginning of a mission that would lead her to become a fierce advocate for healthcare equity, particularly in rural America.

In her new book, Doctors Work in Air Conditioning, Dr. Langdon recounts her personal journey and reflects on the significant disparities between rural and urban healthcare. She highlights a startling truth: many rural Americans, including children, still lack access to basic comforts like air conditioning, which affects everything from health outcomes to quality of life. She also discusses the broader issues facing rural healthcare, including physician shortages, limited resources, and healthcare deserts.

As Dr. Langdon shares her story of perseverance, she urges a national conversation about the gap in healthcare between rural and urban communities—especially as climate change continues to exacerbate heatwaves and other health risks. Her book isn’t just a memoir; it’s a call to action to ensure that healthcare in rural America becomes a priority.

Space exploration has long been a male-dominated field. It wasn’t until the 1980s that Sally Ride made history as the first woman to be launched into space, and even today, women remain significantly outnumbered in the industry. However, there is a transformative shift underway. Recent studies show that more young girls than boys are now aspiring to careers in aeronautics, signaling a new era of gender equality in space exploration.
