Women dare to "think differently and do things differently" to succeed.

Women must dare to "think outside the box and do things differently" to succeed, dare to push boundaries to prove to everyone that women can achieve much more.

This was shared by Dr. Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao, from the Vinmec Stem Cell and Gene Technology Research Institute, at the discussion session "Thinking Differently is Difficult" within the framework of the 2024 Leadership Forum themed "Leadership Shaping the Future," held on May 30th in Ho Chi Minh City.

Dr. Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao (33 years old) is one of 45 researchers from 30 countries to become members of the Global Young Academy of Sciences (GYA) Council in 2024. She is the first Vietnamese female PhD to be elected to the Global Young Academy of Sciences. Dr. Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao has received numerous awards and is currently the President of the Vietnam Academy of Medicine.

Sharing her thoughts during the discussion session, Dr. Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao stated that her achievements were all based on the decision to "think outside the box and do things differently." According to the female doctor, she started everything from scratch; as a woman and a mother, she faced many challenges when venturing into scientific research.

According to the female doctor, initially, through tireless efforts, she wanted to prove that women could accomplish many things. Then, she realized that women needed to be empowered more.

"The position and role of women in society today have changed significantly. However, somewhere, in an invisible way, even within the mindset of women themselves, there is still the belief that women should be associated with holding children, stepping back to take care of the family and husband," said Dr. Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao, emphasizing that what she does is also a desire to prove to the women around her that women can do much more.
