Daily CVPR - Thursday

CVPR Daily: What would you like to achieve in your career? Danna: I would like to have my work help save lives. I work a lot in the microscopy and the medical imaging space. My greatest wish is that something I do will in some way help save someone’s life . CVPR Daily: What are the chances that you give yourself to be able to fulfil this hope one day? Danna: I think it’s quite possible. As a mentor, I can be a voice that creates a movement for this area. Whether it’s me or someone I teach, both feel equally good. CVPR Daily: You may have noticed that CVPR Daily highlights the diversity of people who are part of our research community, in particular introducing the many brilliant women at this year's CVPR. What do you think of that? Danna: I trust those that are making the decisions. It’s interesting to me, and I don’t think I have the full picture. I just trust that there’s some value in trying to put a lot of female faces out there. Maybe it’s just a small thing of making the younger females coming to CVPR feel like they fit in. It could make a long term impact on females going forward. I’m not really sure of the intention, but I can imagine good outcomes from it. 6 Women in Computer Vision CVPR Daily: Thursday David’s Picks for Thu30 2 Editorial 3 Women in Computer Vision: Danna Gurari 4 Àngels Ratés Borràs 12 Summary 6 CVPR Expo: Qihoo 360 7 TuSimple 10 MorpX 11 Presentations: M.
