Drs. Patricia D'Amore and Hazel Sive: Redefining Mentorship

When Patti (Professor of Ophthalmology at Harvard Medical School) and Hazel (Dean of the College of Science and Professor of Biology at Northeastern University) entered the research world, they had few role models and even fewer mentors. Collegiate research, dominated by men at the time, was a difficult one to navigate as women and young mothers. They had to forge their own paths to success. In this podcast, they look back at their beginnings, chat about how they made their way to the top of their specialties, and stress the importance of their roles as mentors and role models for young women entering research today. Their rapport is engaging and their stories inspiring. We are proud to celebrate them during Women's History Month.
