Deshmukh Auditorium, India International Centre (IIC), Delhi Inaugural lecture by Dr. Gagandeep Kang, acclaimed biologist and former Executive Director, Translational Health Science and Technology Institute (THSTI); and the first woman working in India to be inducted as the Fellow of Royal Societies (FRS), London 2019 Opening Remarks: Prof. K. VijayRaghavan, Former Principal Scientific Adviser, Government of India Chair: Shri Shyam Saran, Life Trustee, IIC Brief by the speaker: A tiny fraction of Indian women born to relative privilege have taken up the space they deserve in many fields. But even in this thin sliver of society where women are educated and have some degree of autonomy, stereotypes limit, not entry, but the progression of women in science. My encounters and relationships with women who support, inspire, challenge and stand by me are central to my life and work. Demonstration of professional competence and our cultural constructs appear at odds, and I have been fortunate having many women and some men who believe that women can and will get things done.
