It is well written and provides insight into Lauren's educational and professional journey, emphasizing her interest in community outreach and service.

Prof. Carl Cranor to Retire After 53 Years at UC Riverside

Carl Cranor, Distinguished Professor of Philosophy and one of the original members of the ETOX Graduate Program faculty, will formally be retiring at the end of this week after 53 years of research, teaching and service at UC Riverside.  Carl's research has been at the intersection of toxicology, the law, and morality, and he has had a distinguished career having received many awards including being elected as a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and elected a Fellow of the Collegium Ramazzini, an honor reserved for those recognized as being among the preeminent experts worldwide in the areas of Environmental Health and Occupational Medicine.  A recent article on Carl's retirement and career can be found in UC Riverside News.  Our congratulations to Carl for a highly successful career.  I might mention that although formally retired, Carl will continue his professional and university work: He will be teaching a class again this fall.  [Note the photo above was taken by Sandra Baltazar Martinez and is from the UC Riverside News article.]
