The program invites students, researchers, and academic leaders to explore how we can collectively shape a more inclusive scientific community

In collaboration with Women’s College Hospital, this annual event celebrates the achievements of women and underrepresented groups in science. Featuring 2026 laureate Dr. Karen Maxwell, 2024 laureate, Dr. Meghan Azad, and 2026 ECI Dr. Rajae Talbi, 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.
