| Associate Clinical Professor of Radiology, Neuroradiology EDI background: I am passionate about promoting equal opportunities and fair treatment of women in medicine, starting at the medical student level all the way to the faculty level. I firmly believe that women and men are like two wings of a bird and, unless and until both wings are equally strong, the bird cannot soar at its full capacity. Additionally, as a Baha'i, I have experienced firsthand persecution and prejudice for my religious beliefs, and I firmly believe that we must connect people of all Faiths (and no Faith) with the bonds of unity and fellowship, in order to establish world peace.
