Winston & Strawn partner Kathi Vidal was featured on an episode of Scientista, a podcast that highlights candid conversations with women and allies reshaping business, politics, and culture around the world. Kathi spoke with hosts Dr. Sweta Chakraborty and Monica Medina about the systemic inequities that are hindering our society’s ability to address global challenges and how expanding who gets to invent can positively shape the future for all of us.
Kathi provided insights on why intellectual property is so central to the global balance of power, how countries are racing to shape the future of artificial intelligence, the barriers in the patent system, real world impacts of government hiring freezes, the interventions that can start to change the culture of exclusion, and more. She also shared her own story of setbacks and learning to find grace in moments that don’t go as planned.
