You are right that Pardis Sabet is an amazing scientist having discovered the effects of genetics on the evolution of disease.She is also an incredible person and should be recognized much more broadly than she is today. Her work will likely lead to the eradication of diseases that have become drug-resistant, and could be one of the most important innovations in modern medicine.

Fantastic list -- not to mention Regina Dugan, head of DARPA, and Lisa Porter, head of IARPA, and about a gazillion other ridiculously talented and inspiring women STEM leaders… It’s also worth celebrating exceptional women scientists who are also exceptional entrepreneurs. Among so many others, the following come to mind, particularly if you open the aperture beyond security to more general ICT: Teresa Meng – founder of Atheros & Stanford professor Laura Mather -- founder of SilverTail Systems & former analyst at NSA. Andrea Goldsmith – founder of Quantenna & standout prof at Stanford Pattie Maes – founder of Firefly, a seminal personalization technology, & MIT Media Lab leader. Michele Munson – founder of Aspera & former scientist at IBM Research. Such an important message.

Shared with all my female relatives and friends. Even though I learned it as my first major language, I guess I never appreciated the significance of COBOL. In my field of telecommunications address simplification is critical to mass markets and scalable services. It's consistent with Hossein's 10 prescriptions and concept of service brokers that you refer to in another blog. Good stuff. Inspirational. Shared with all my female relatives and friends.
