In 2008, Steven Bernstein, an award-winning cinematographer, met Annie Parker. He was inspired by her story to direct and write Decoding Annie Parker (2013). The film follows the journey of Canadian Annie Parker (played by Samantha Morton) who learns she has breast cancer, the disease to which she lost her mother and sister. While Annie is struggling with the physical and emotional impact of her illness, she is convinced that there must be some hereditary connection for the cancer that devastated her family. 
In the USA, geneticist Dr. Mary-Claire King (Helen Hunt) is a researching the still unidentified link between DNA and cancer. Decoding Annie Parker depicts the heartbreaking struggle of battling breast cancer and the scientific dedication that led to the revolutionary 1990 breakthrough of the identification of the BRCA1 gene, responsible for many breast and ovarian cancers.

Gender issues in the male-dominated engineering industry are investigated in this focused analysis of three student engineering teams. The team-based teaching model common in engineering provides a particular microcosm to discuss gender as the collaborative skills of decision making and collective responsibility often manifest themselves differently in male and female engineers. The effects and advantages of women entering male-dominated industries emerge in this discussion of the characteristics of ineffective and effective teams and leadership styles.
