entry description
Gender inequality permeates healthcare. Medical studies excluded female patients for decades, while women’s symptoms have been dismissed for centuries. This special report features real women who have overcome a biased system, and shines a light on female clinicians and investigators leading the charge to understand and solve women’s health challenges.about the photographer
I’d like to think my photos hang out in the place where art and science meet. Whether it’s JPL scientists jumping on their beds, the newest fleet of Air New Zealand jets, Systems Engineers after-hours, or environmental portraits of innovative medical professionals, I strive to translate the highly technical, scientific, and downright nerdy into a visual vocabulary accessible to anyone.back to gallery
