Carolyn Turcotte
Postdoctoral Scholar, Developmental Biology
BioHello! I am a postdoc in the Villeneuve lab studying meiotic homolog pairing using an interspecies hybrid model system. I earned my PhD in Genetics and Molecular Biology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where I worked in Jeff Sekelsky's lab and studied spontaneous meiotic nondisjunction in Drosophila.

Kate Turk
Affiliate, Department Funds
Resident in PediatricsBioKate Turk, MD is a resident physician in Pediatrics at Stanford University School of Medicine. Her academic interests center on sustainable pediatric global health, health policy, and innovative public health technology.
Dr. Turk is part of Stanford’s Global Health Scholarly Concentration and is focused on the development of scalable, evidence-based interventions to improve pediatric outcomes in resource-limited settings. Her current project is based in Cusco, Peru, in collaboration with the Cusco Ministry of Health, EsSalud network, and local clinical partners, and aims to strengthen frontline pediatric provider capacity, including the implementation and evaluation of digital clinical decision support tools and educational platforms, across the province of Cusco. Some of her prior global health projects have included developing a curriculum to improve stroke prevention education in Huaral, Peru and partnering with Global Brigades Inc. to improve access to regular medical care, clean water, and public health infrastructure within Nicaragua and Panama. She was recognized as Stanford’s 2025-2026 Zlotnick Global Health Scholar.
Additional projects include working with the Washington State legislature and Department of Health to implement prescription label translation in pharmacies across the state, organizing a 6-part lecture series focused on teaching advocacy and community organizing techniques using the lens of food insecurity to California-based pediatrics residents, and leading/participating in various groups focused on mentorship for students underrepresented in medicine, language justice, and global health.
Dr. Turk received her medical degree from the University of Washington School of Medicine (UWOSM), where she developed a strong foundation in clinical care and a commitment to health equity. At the UWSOM, she completed the Latinx Health and Global Health pathways, and graduated with Alpha Omega Alpha honors. -

Fred Turner
Harry and Norman Chandler Professor of Communication, Akiko Yamazaki and Jerry Yang University Fellow in Undergraduate Education and Professor, by courtesy, of Art and Art History and of History
BioFred Turner’s research and teaching focus on media technology and cultural change. He is especially interested in the ways that emerging media have helped shape American life since World War II.
Turner is the author of five books: The Democratic Surround: Multimedia and American Liberalism from World War II to the Psychedelic Sixties; From Counterculture to Cyberculture: Stewart Brand, the Whole Earth Network and the Rise of Digital Utopianism; Echoes of Combat: The Vietnam War in American Memory; Seeing Silicon Valley: Life Inside a Fraying America (with Mary Beth Meehan); and L'Usage de l'Art: de Burning Man à Facebook, art, technologie et management dans la Silicon Valley. His essays have tackled topics ranging from the rise of reality crime television to the role of the Burning Man festival in contemporary new media industries. They are available here: fredturner.stanford.edu/essays/.
Turner’s research has received a number of academic awards and has been featured in publications ranging from Science and the New York Times to Ten Zen Monkeys. It has also been widely translated.
Turner is also the Akiko Yamazaki and Jerry Yang University Fellow in Undergraduate Education. Before joining the faculty at Stanford, Turner taught Communication at Harvard University’s John F. Kennedy School of Government and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He also worked as a freelance journalist for ten years and he continues to write for newspapers and magazines in America and Europe, including Harper's, The New York Times Magazine, and the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.
Turner earned his Ph.D. in Communication from the University of California, San Diego. He has also earned a B.A. in English and American Literature from Brown University and an M.A. in English from Columbia University. -
Joshua J. Turner
Lead Scientist, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory
BioJoshua Turner is a lead scientist at the Stanford Institute for Materials and Energy Sciences, a joint institute between Stanford University and SLAC, as well as at the Linac Coherent Light Source, the world’s first x-ray free electron laser (XFEL) based at SLAC.
He received both a BS in Physics and a BA in Mathematics from UC Santa Barbara, a MA in Physics from Boston University, and a PhD in Physics from the University of Oregon. He moved to Stony Brook University, NY to work as a postdoctoral fellow, lecturer, and then adjunct assistant professor, before coming to Stanford.
Turner is a leader in ultra-fast x-ray studies, which he has applied to an array of scientific fields, from chemistry and materials physics to the study of plasmas found in large planets and hot astrophysical objects. His most recent work focuses on new modes of the XFEL which can be used to examine subtle fluctuations in materials using short, coherent x-ray pulses on new energy scales. This will advance the frontier in quantum materials through the observation of novel types of order found in exotic systems such as topological magnets, unconventional superconductors, and strongly spin-orbit coupled Mott insulators.
He is the recipient of the Department of Energy’s Early Career Award, a prestigious award granted to further the individual research programs of outstanding scientists with demonstrated successful research activities and potential for solving important problems to the U. S. government. He has published over 100 scientific articles with one-third of them in high-profile journals.
