This event is offered as part of PACSW’s Women’s History Month. In “Black Women in STEM: One Family’s Oral History,” Dr. McKnight will share her role in the long line of pioneering and successful women in STEM in her family. Hear the stories she has uncovered of these remarkable women and explore her personal journey of discovery.

Dr. McKnight received her doctorate in biomedical engineering from UC Davis, and her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in physics from Spelman College and Polytechnic University. She served for 15 years on the UCSF faculty, where she led a successful research program in neuroimaging of brain cancer.
