Brian interviews Gina Parvaneh Cody. She is a Canadian-Iranian engineer and business leader on the 32nd anniversary of the worst mass shooting in Canadian history, the École Polytechnique massacre. Fourteen women were murdered and 10 women and four men were injured. We also discuss misogyny, sexism and the need for more women in STEM. In 1989, Gina became the first woman in Concordia University’s history to earn a PhD in building engineering. In 2018, following her donation of $15 million, Concordia University renamed its faculty of engineering and computer science after her (the Gina Cody School of Engineering and Computer Science), making it the first university engineering and computer science faculty to be named after a woman in Canada, and internationally.
