Attendees of the March 8 2021 Women in Technology Hollywood (WiTH) Leadership Awards will also treated to a keynote presentation by Dr. Vivienne Ming, co-founder and CEO of Socos Labs, director of OptoCeutics, chair emeritus for StartOut, and self-described “professional mad scientist.”
Her keynote address — “Building a Better Person” — will see Ming share insights into her personal story of self-doubt, grit and passion to make a difference, and how the challenges she’s faced resulted in a simple goal: to make herself a better person.
“I have the coolest job in the world,” Ming said. “I invent cyborgs and AIs to treat diabetes and manic-depression, combat wage gap and The Tax on Being Different, and even reunite orphan refugees with family. To get this job all I needed to do was literally become a different person.”
A theoretical neuroscientist, technologist and entrepreneur, Ming says she is obsessed with using technology to maximize human potential. She’s frequently featured in global publications for her groundbreaking research and data-set inventions, and aims to inspire attendees of the WiTH Leadership Awards event with her story.
