  The foremost challenge in health care is to adequately monitor the response to medication. This workshop is set to address this challenge by focusing on the "hard problem" of quantifying the response to treatment, in view of the recent advances in measurement, computation, and communication at the interface between life, health, and medical sciences. As the topic is of universal interest, the workshop will be a cross-disciplinary, open forum that allows participants with various backgrounds to explore the issues from different perspectives.

The Bold and the Brave investigates how women have strived throughout history to gain access to education and careers in science and engineering. Dr.Monique Frize, herself an engineer for over 40 years, introduces the reader to key concepts and debates that contextualize the obstacles women have faced and continue to face in the fields of science and engineering.
