communities, and the impact of social justice issues. Physicians, scholars, writers, educators, scientists, artists, and activists will consider the relationship between gender and mental health along multiple axes—including genetics, lived experience, vulnerabilities,
disparate impacts, and access to healthcare. Finally, we will discuss ways to increase resilience and focus on prevention.</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue";color:black">In 1999, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology admitted to discriminating against women on its faculty, forcing institutions across the country to confront a problem they had long ignored:
the need for more women at the top levels of science. Written by the journalist who broke the story for The Boston Globe, The Exceptions is the untold story of how sixteen highly accomplished women on the MIT faculty came together to do the work that triggered
the historic admission. Panelists include: Nancy Hopkins, Kate Zernike, Leigh Royden, Lorna Gibson, Sangeeta Bhatia and moderated by Ruth Perry. </span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
