The magazine cited the three as Pioneers: "These three women are responsible for orchestrating an incredible breakthrough: functionally curing a newborn of AIDS. By giving the infant, who contracted HIV from its mother, anti-HIV drugs within hours of birth, Gay, a pediatrician at the University of Mississippi; Luzuriaga, an immunologist from the University of Massachusetts; and Persaud, a virologist at Johns Hopkins Children's Center, managed to battle back the virus so the child, now 21 to 22 years old, no longer needs medications and shows no signs of HIV."

Articles of Note
Diane Magrane shared a presentation,Informed Opinion: The Top 7 Reasons Why Smart Women Should Speak Up, that was sent to her by Sabina Nawaz, one of our wonderful facilitators for ELATE. "This online lecture is almost an hour long, and well worth the watch. I rarely make it longer with an online video than a 10-minute TED talk, but this one held my attention for its full duration. The combination of well-illustrated outcomes and impact creates incredibly compelling arguments for why we need to voice our opinions through the media. . Several years ago, I started responding to more journalists because I learned how difficult it is for them to get statements and interviews from really well informed people. Now, even though I am still shy about doing so, I have many more reasons to put myself out there. I thought it a good resource for the ongoing conversation that some of us have been having about how to address the future of gender bias in our world of academics.
Insight & Impact, Spring 2013:
Diane also flagged this article from the Harvard Kennedy School's newsletter:
How Do They Do It? Legitimizing Claims to Authority Scholars have paid more attention to the barriers to women's achievement than to how women may overcome them. Hannah Riley Bowles looks at narratives of success. The online article includes a link to the research study, Claiming Their Authority: How Women Explain Their Ascent to Top Business Leadership Positions.
AWIS Washington Wire, April 2013:
Page forwarded this e-newsletter, which had several articles from a variety of sources that we've shared in previous issues of the Edge. This one, from Science about the importance of visibility in advancing your career, is worth reading for its tips to help you stand out from the crowd:
Increase Your Visibility
Career experts agree that qualifications alone are no longer enough to get you hired or advance your career; the best strategy for getting ahead is to make yourself more visible. While scientists may not be accustomed to self-promotion, they must learn to employ this technique in order to get noticed. Read these anecdotes from scientific conferences and industry trade shows which illustrate ways that scientists can raise their profile.

When to Use Your Head and When to Use Your Heart in Negotiation
There are many different styles of negotiation, and to get the best outcome it's important to examine the stakes and the situation. A new study purports to show when you should put yourself in someone else's shoes, and when it's best to focus on feelings in negotiation settings. The paper, entitled "When to use your head and when to use your heart: The differential value of perspective-taking versus empathy in competitive interactions" and published in the Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin earlier this year, suggests how two different ways of "imagining others' experience" - one cognitive and one emotional - can enable best outcomes.

What Does Modern Prejudice Look Like?
...An interview with Mahzarin Banaji, a Harvard psychologist. In a new book, Blindspot: Hidden Biases of Good People, Banaji and her co-author, Anthony Greenwald, a social psychologist at the University of Washington, turn the conventional way people think about prejudice on its head. Traditionally, Banaji says, psychologists in her field have looked for overt "acts of commission - what do I do? Do I go across town to burn down the church of somebody who's not from my denomination? That, I can recognize as prejudice."
The Glass Hammer, April 25, 2013:
New Study Identifies Three Strategies for "Having It All"
According to a new working paper out of the Yale School of Management, women employ various different strategies in the effort to achieve a full work and family life, or as the saying goes, "have it all."
The paper follows the lives of 40 women, and through her analysis of in-depth biographical interviews on their work and personal life, the researcher, Connie Gersick, identified three broad categories in how these women approached the question, "Can I have it all?"

What's Keeping So Many Smart Women from Climbing the Ladder?
At face value, the numbers just don't add up. Women graduate from college at a rate of 3 to 2 over men and make up almost half of our workforce. But according to two new surveys by nonprofit research group Catalyst, women fill just 16.6% of the Fortune 500's board seats - a figure that has remained the same since 2004. These same companies employ an even smaller percentage of female executive officers - just 14.3% (with no growth at all over the past 3 years). And 2011 and 2012 Catalyst surveys show that 10% of the Fortune 500 companies have NO women on their boards. Not one!
