discuss what has contributed to her success, the challenges she has overcome, and advice for current postdocs. She will also talk about maintaining a balanced life, in light of the rigors of an industrial and academic career. We hope that the interactions
will assist women postdocs in navigating their careers and will also help them build the professional connections.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
