Description

Jayashri Kulkarni’s family moved from India to Australia in 1961.

They found there were no Indian grocery stores, few spices of any kind, and plain yoghurt wasn’t available.

But the Kulkarnis adapted to their new home, teaching their neighbours how to cook Indian food, and encouraging Jayashri's love for studying.

Jayashri became a doctor, and during her training as a psychiatrist she became fascinated by the relationship between women's hormones and mental health.

She’s since been at the frontline of groundbreaking research, which challenged many of her colleagues and ended up helping women all over the world.
