Woman are leaders. TedTalks show them all off. In my field - Biotech - several were left behind. Especially, with the discovery of DNA. Lot's of great leaders of companies, that I have worked with, in the past. Also, Nobel Prize winners. Here's one you never knew about. A field I worked in, at one time, Nuclear Medicine.

Sweden was filled with super intelligent women at the Karolinska Institutet. The University town of Uppsala founded their medical school in 1477. Been there, down that.

Linus is from around that area - Finland. Despite what Americans think about women, in the rest of the world, they are very well respected, and promoted.

Just a lurker from the Jersey Shore. Was out there, but Mom got old. And, needs the kid around.

You go girl!
