For the first episode of Season 2 of the GWIS podcast series, we had the tremendous pleasure of chatting with Dr. Cheryl Mae Craft, Professor, Ophthalmology & Cell & Neurobiology, USC ROSKI EYE INSTITUTE, Director, NIH Medical Ethics for Responsible Conduct of Research, Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California. She earned her doctorate in human anatomy and neuroscience from the Biomedical Graduate School, University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio. Dr. Craft has received academic awards, research funding from government and private foundations, serves on national committees and scientific advisory boards. One of her major passions is mentoring and preparing students to become productive scientists, physicians and informed citizens. The California Science Center MUSES honored her as their 43rd Woman of the Year. The Keck School of Medicine of USC in 2015 recognized her for lifelong commitment to mentoring, and the ARVO Foundation in 2020 honored her.
