Weizmann Canada’s Women and Science Committee hosted its inaugural Wonderful Women event at Casa Loma in the late spring. Over 200 guests were welcomed to the scenic venue, where a panel of inspiring and accomplished women spoke to the crowd, including event moderator Patricia Lovett-Reid, CTV News’ chief financial commentator; Dr. Naama Geva-Zatorsky, who completed both her PhD and a postdoctoral fellowship at the Weizmann Institute of Science; Dr. Sherry Cooper, speaker, writer and advisor; Karen Kain, acclaimed former classical dancer and advocate for the arts; and Jennifer Weiner, a No. 1 New York Times bestselling author. The funds raised will benefit the Nancy and Stephen Grand Israel National Center for Personalized Medicine at the Weizmann Institute of Science.
