Padina Pezeshki of resident company OPTT Mental Health is a celebrated biomedical engineer and a proud woman in tech and business. #IWD2020 #ShineAndRise #HealthTech . . . There is a lot of attention on being a women in tech/business and a lot of women-specific resources, funds, groups, events, etc. and it seems it's a position that's continously celebrated. Also due to the global mission for inclusion, diversity and equality, a lot of doors are generously open for women. and in my opinion, at this point in time, the stars are all aligned for women to excell in all fields including tech and business, despite the fact that numbers show there is still a big gap and work needs to be done. but if women want, women can.

We are so proud to have the incredibly talented Kathryn Hodwitz as our Clinical and Research Coordinator at the Biomedical Zone! #IWD2020 #ShineAndRise #HealthTech #HealthCare . . . It’s inspiring to be working in a space where diverse perspectives and experiences are valued. When people with different lenses come together, the sum is almost always greater than the parts. Health tech is a perfect environment for encouraging that kind of thinking and innovation.
