AAMC CFAS News, September 15, 2017:
Ambika Mathur, PhD (ELAM '14), associate provost for scientific training workforce development and diversity and dean of the Graduate School at Wayne State University, published a commentary on LinkedIn, "Hey Siri: When can we have Gender Equity?" in which she wonders why the voices of electronic "servers" such as Siri are women and how that reflects on our overall notions of gender equity. "As far as I am concerned, the genie in the bottle saying 'How may I help you?' can jolly well be male!" she writes.
Deborah Wing, MD, MBA (ELAM '13) joined the Academic Health Center Practice of Korn Ferry International, an executive search firm, on September 11, 2017. Dr. Wing served in multiple leadership roles in Academic Medicine over the past 22 years and completed a healthcare EMBA in 2015.

AM Rounds, September 12, 2017:
Why aren't more medical school deans women? Medical school faculty don't normally wake up thinking, "I want to be dean." How then does one end up there? I was asked to tell my story.
AAMC News, September 20, 2017:

Transplantation, Volume 101, Issue 10, October 2017:
The exponential growth of young talented women choosing science and medicine as their professional career over the past decade is substantial. Currently, more than half of the Australian medical doctoral graduates and early career researchers are comprised of women, but less than 20% of all academic professorial staff are women. The loss of female talent in the hierarchical ladder of Australian academia is a considerable waste of government investment, productivity, and scientific innovation. Gender disparity in the professional workforce composition is even more striking within the field of transplantation. Women are grossly underrepresented in leadership roles, with currently no female heads of unit in any of the Australian and New Zealand transplanting centers. At the same time, there is also gender segregation with a greater concentration of women in lower-status academic position compared with their male counterparts. Given the extent and magnitude of the disparity, the Women in Transplantation Committee, a subcommittee of The Transplantation Society of Australia and New Zealand established a workshop comprising 8 female clinicians/scientists in transplantation. The key objectives were to (i) identify potential gender equity issues within the transplantation workforce; (ii) devise and implement potential strategies and interventions to address some of these challenges at a societal level; (iii) set realistic and achievable goals to enhance and facility gender equality, equity, and diversity in transplantation.

AAMC CFAS News, September 15, 2017:
And finally, this week gave us Christmas and Hanukah and New Year's all rolled into one with the 27th First Annual IgĀ® Nobel Prize Ceremony & Lectures, which took place last night at Harvard. Year after year, this first annual event acknowledges "Research that makes people LAUGH and then THINK" (but mostly laugh). This year's medical award went to the UK's James Heathcote, for his BMJ-published study, "Why Do Old Men Have Big Ears?" The Ignobel Peace Prize went to an international research team from Switzerland, Canada, the Netherlands, and the United States for their BMJ-published work, "Didgeridoo Playing as Alternative Treatment for Obstructive Sleep Apnoea Syndrome: Randomised Controlled Trial." What gives, BMJ? Prize-winning research in the fields of economics, biology, and obstetrics made the CFAS News editor blush. Parental discretion is advised.
