Growing up in India, Dr. Jayashree Kalpathy-Cramer listened to her mother talk about her work as a physics professor who taught electronics, and it piqued her interest in engineering. She calls this a position of both privilege and good fortune, in that having a female role model so highly educated was not the norm. While at the time, the concept of education in India was seen as a ticket to a good life for anyone, Kalpathy-Cramer was in many ways a first-generation woman in her family to not have to fight for the opportunity.

The Women of the Vanderbilt Institute for Surgery and Engineering: Providing networks to connect and thrive
As they round the corner into their fifth year of existence, the Women of the Vanderbilt Institute for Surgery and Engineering (VISE) (or WoV , as they refer to themselves) are taking stock of all they have achieved. Led by students at VISE in Nashville, Tennessee, and made up predominantly of Ph.D. students, the group’s goals are to foster community, discuss research, and promote the success of women in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields. And they are well on their way to making their impact even larger.

Sustaining Women in Technology: Hayashi continues to push boundaries
Kathy Herring Hayashi believes that, throughout their lives, people have different waves of time and energy to devote to personal and professional goals. Understanding this has allowed her to develop and adapt to her own timeline; when her children were young, she was a software consultant, which provided her with flexibility as a new mother. As they got older, she took on IEEE leadership, computer science teaching, and a full-time job, and most recently, used the extra time while staying at home during the pandemic to codevelop the SA-EDI standard.
