geneticist who investigates the evolution of disease, and MIT’s Jessika
Trancik, whose research focuses on the environmental impacts of energy
technology, will discuss their backgrounds, career paths, and what they
see as challenges and opportunities moving forward. <br>Moderator: MIT’s Rosalind Williams. <br><br>Speakers:<br></span><ul><li><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><a href="http://sabetilab.org/people/pardis-sabeti" target="_blank">Pardis Sabeti</a>

University, Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology, and in
the Department of Immunology and Infectious Disease at Harvard School of
Public Health, and is a Senior Associate Member of the Broad Institute
of Harvard and MIT. Dr. Sabeti is a computational geneticist with
expertise studying genetic diversity, developing algorithms to detect
genetic signatures of natural selection, and carrying out genetic
association studies. She completed her undergraduate degree at MIT and
her PhD at Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar, before returning to earn her
medical degree from Harvard Medical School as a Soros Fellow.</span></li><li><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><a href="https://esd.mit.edu/Faculty_Pages/trancik/trancik.html" target="_blank">Jessika Trancik</a>

Ph.D. in materials science from the University of Oxford as a Rhodes
Scholar. Before MIT, she spent several years at the Santa Fe Institute
as an Omidyar Fellow, and at Columbia University as an Earth Institute

Worlds, Notes from the Underground, and Retooling) all examined the
implications for human life, both individual and collective, of living
in a predominantly self-constructed world. Her most recent book, The
Triumph of Human Empire, surveys the overarching historical event of our

Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM), women continue to be
underrepresented despite increased efforts to expose women and girls to
the STEM field. According to the U.S. Department of Commerce's Report,
Women in STEM: A Gender Gap to Innovation, women represent only about
25% of workers in STEM and earn 14% less than what men in the field
earn. In addition, women experience unique challenges throughout their
careers that differ from their male counterparts, such as lack of
mentorship and work/family life balance, etc. Come learn from our
panelists how they have succeeded in their respective disciplines, what
challenges they faced along the way, and what special issues you will
need to consider as a woman in STEM. Advanced registration requested via
