Catherine Karr, Professor of Pediatrics and Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences at the University of Washington (UW) in Seattle, WA, USA, aims to improve child respiratory health, including among remote communities in Washington state.According to Ruth Etzel, Director of the US Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Children's Health Protection, Washington, DC, USA, Karr “personifies the best of a new breed of physician-scientists that are patient-centred, community-centered, and justice-centred”.Born in Grand Rapids, MI, USA, Karr says “my mother instilled in me the importance of community service and she was a big proponent that women can have careers too”, and a female science teacher inspired her to major in biology and ecology at the University of Michigan.
