April Au, PhD Student, University of Toronto
April is a second year graduate student at the University of Toronto. Broadly, she is interested in interfacing biological and behavioural sex differences. Her Master's thesis investigates how estrogen deprivation in women who have undergone oophorectomies (the surgical removal of the ovaries) affect cognitive functions including attention, verbal and spatial working memory. In her leisure time, she enjoys reading and decorating.

Ramya Kumar, PhD student, Social and Behavioural Health Sciences, Dalla Lana School of Public Health, University of Toronto
My interests in women's health span a range of topics including access to healthcare, sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) and applications of feminist theory to women's health. I'm in the second year of my PhD program and plan to focus my research for the next few years on the conceptualization of women's bodies in medicine, healthcare and the health policy environment. I'm especially interested in looking at how social constructs like gender, class, ethnicity, sexual orientation and disability influence access to and delivery of healthcare for women. My geographical area of interest is Sri Lanka.
