Perry L. McCarty
Affiliate, Stanford Woods Institute for the Environment
BioPerry L. McCarty, Silas H. Palmer Professor Emeritus, came to Stanford University in 1962 to found a new multidisciplinary education and research program in environmental engineering and science that became a model for others throughout the country. From 1980 to 1985 he was Chairman of Stanford's Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, and from 1989 to 2002 he served as Director of the Western Region Hazardous Substance Research Center. He received a B.S. Degree in civil engineering from Wayne State University (1953), and M.S. (1957) and Sc.D. (1959) degrees in sanitary engineering from M.I.T.
The focus of McCarty's research, teaching, and writing has been on water, with a primary interest in biological processes for the control of environmental contamination. His early research was on anaerobic treatment processes, biological processes for nitrogen removal and water reuse. Recent interests are on aerobic and anaerobic processes for the treatment of domestic and industrial wastewaters, and the movement, fate, and control of groundwater contaminants.
His numerous awards and accolades for pioneering work on improving water quality worldwide includes memberships in the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the National Academy of Engineering. McCarty won the Tyler Prize for Environmental Achievement in 1992, the Athalie Richardson Irvine Clarke Prize for Outstanding Achievements in Water Science and Technology in 1997, and the Stockholm Water Prize in 2007. In 2011 the Association of Environmental Engineering and Science Professors Foundation established the Perry L. McCarty AEESP Founder's Award, given annually in recognition of McCarty's significant contributions to environmental engineering education, research, and practice. The Directorship of the Stanford Woods Institute for the Environment, part of the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability, was named in his honor.
McCarty has written and coauthored over 350 papers, plus the textbooks, Chemistry for Environmental Engineering and Science, and Environmental Biotechnology - Principles and Applications. -
Cary McClelland
Lecturer
BioCary McClelland is a civil rights lawyer and award-winning writer and filmmaker who brings to
his teaching a global experience of conflict resolution and a personal understanding of the role
of storytelling in dispute resolution.
As an attorney, Cary has worked primarily in defense of the freedom of expression and other
civil rights, advancing prominent cases related to election misinformation, digital privacy rights,
and disparities arising from Covid-19. He defended journalists and artists in various First
Amendment suits, including Buzzfeed’s publication of the Christopher Steele dossier. He
represented clients who fought to protect the private information of online users from
government seizure and challenged the Trump administration’s travel ban against Muslim-
majority countries. Most recently, he led a team of lawyers representing New York individuals
and organizations who fought on behalf of communities disproportionately impacted by the
Covid-19 in their action against the federal health agencies for their statutory failures during
the pandemic.
Prior to the law, Cary spent the first part of his career working on human rights and conflict
resolution initiatives throughout the Middle East, Latin America, Africa, and Asia. He trained
former child soldiers to be journalists in the Democratic Republic of Congo, worked alongside
opposition activists in Zimbabwe, and collaborated on advocacy campaigns in Egypt, Syria, and
Myanmar. He has a particular interest in traditional and restorative conflict transformation
processes, and so has studied and supported the United Nations truth commission in East
Timor and tribal courts in sub-Saharan Africa. Working with Witness and Google, he founded
and launched a Webby-Award-winning media channel highlighting and protecting the work of
citizen journalists around the world.
Alongside these efforts, Cary has continued to document and bring to life stories of people
persisting in turbulent times. His award-winning film, Without Shepherds, centers the lives of
six people fighting against extremism in Pakistan, including the nation’s current Prime Minister
Imran Khan as he launched his political party. Cary’s recent book Silicon City tells the story of
San Francisco transformed by the tech industry and the new American economy through
portraits of its citizens, past and present; it was chosen as one of Stanford University’s Three
Books of 2019. Currently, he is completing a book on New York City’s experience of the Covid-
19 pandemic and advancing another on grassroots populism in West Virginia.
His research focuses on the role of narrative and data in rights advocacy, structural reform, and
conflict resolution efforts throughout the United States and beyond. He is a frequently invited
speaker on topics of media, technology, democracy, rule of law and storytelling. -
Jay McClelland
Lucie Stern Professor in the Social Sciences, Professor of Psychology and, by courtesy, of Linguistics and of Computer Science
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research addresses topics in perception and decision making; learning and memory; language and reading; semantic cognition; and cognitive development. I view cognition as emerging from distributed processing activity of neural populations, with learning occurring through the adaptation of connections among neurons. A new focus of research in the laboratory is mathematical cognition and reasoning in humans and contemporary AI systems based on neural networks.

Emily Clair McClung, MD, FACOG
Clinical Assistant Professor, Obstetrics & Gynecology - Gynecologic Oncology
BioDr. McClung is a fellowship trained, board certified Gynecologic Oncologist with the Stanford Medicine Cancer Center and Clinical Assistant Professor in the Stanford Medicine Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Division of Gynecologic Oncology.
She graduated from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City and she completed residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology at Stanford Medicine. She then pursued sub-specialty Gynecologic Oncology fellowship at Moffitt Cancer Center and the University of South Florida in Tampa, Florida.
Prior to joining Stanford Health Care, Dr. McClung was an Assistant Professor in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Arizona Banner University Medical Center in Tucson, Arizona.
Dr. McClung actively contributes to gynecologic cancer research. She has studied prevention of surgical site infections, gene expression prediction of lymph node metastasis in endometrial cancer, treatment resistance in ovarian cancer, and additional topics. She co-authored articles on her findings for peer-reviewed publications such as the International Journal of Gynecologic Cancer, International Journal of Women’s Health, and Gynecologic Oncology Reports.
She authored the chapter on the diagnosis and management of vaginal cancer in the textbook Handbook of Gynecology and has made invited presentations at meetings of the Society of Gynecologic Oncology and other associations. She works to improve patient access to state-of-the-art care as an investigator in cooperative group clinical trials.
She has won multiple teaching awards for her work with medical students and residents. She is passionate about increasing awareness of gynecologic cancer in medical trainees.
Dr. McClung provides comprehensive care with a personalized approach for patients with gynecologic cancer and pre-cancer including surgery, chemotherapy, cancer risk reduction, and palliative care.

Susan K. McConnell
Susan B. Ford Professor, Emerita
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsSusan McConnell has studied the cellular and molecular mechanisms that underlie the development of the mammalian cerebral cortex. Her work focused on the earliest events that pattern the developing forebrain, enable neural progenitors to divide asymmetrically to generate young neurons, propel the migration of postmitotic neurons outward into their final positions, and sculpt the fates and phenotypes of the neurons as they differentiate.
