In collaboration with Women’s College Hospital, this annual event celebrates the achievements of women and underrepresented groups in science. Featuring 2025 laureates Dr. Jennifer Stinson and Dr. Iva Greenwald, the program invites students, researchers, and academic leaders to explore how we can collectively shape a more inclusive scientific community. Through powerful storytelling and open conversation, we spotlight career journeys, leadership, and the systemic changes still needed in science and medicine.
