However, we are also living in moment of great positive change and age-old systems are being disrupted, changed, and recreated. In this new world, how can we best optimize the potential of our daughters? Dr. Kang will illuminate the latest scientific findings about girls’ health, education, and achievement. She will provide practical, research-based tools that can immediately be applied at home and in school for enhancing the innovation, leadership, and resilience of girls and women.
