On January 1, 2026, Dr. Stuart Carney began his term as Dean of Medicine. To help our community get to know him, we launched a nine-part Q&A series featuring conversations led by two outstanding graduate student leaders:

• Anna Walsh – PhD Candidate, Clinical Epidemiology; Vice President, Medical Graduate Students’ Society
• Sarah Hartery – PhD Candidate, Bioscience of Health and Disease; President, Medical Graduate Students’ Society

The interviews took place in February 2026. Filming support by Ritche Perez and Charli Philpott, with video editing by Ritche.

A special thanks to the Division of Biomedical Sciences for providing the lab space that brought this conversation to life.
