Featured Cornellian:  

Sarah Temkin, MD, is a physician, scientist, and first-time filmmaker whose career has focused on improving women’s health. CCW has been tracking her success since CCW organizing screenings of her moving, award-winning and impactful first documentary.  If you have the PBS App, click here to watch it now. Share the 30-minute inspiration while it streams at PBS through December.
