The Lake Highlands Advocate named UTSW’s Jenny King one of its Fierce Five Women of Lake Highlands for 2018. Ms. King is Director of Public Affairs in the Office of Communications, Marketing, and Public Affairs.

“If you viewed a human brain at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, you partially have Jenny King to thank,” the Advocate’s story reads. “[She] was part of a team that opened the Peter O’Donnell Jr. Brain Institute’s lab to the public as part of Science in the City, a collaborative partnership with The Dallas Morning News, SMU and TalkSTEM. King also has volunteered with several organizations, including Head Start of Greater Dallas and Austin College’s Alumni Board.”

Ms. King told the magazine that the kind of outreach that resulted in Science in the City is a first for UT Southwestern. “We are excited to be celebrating 75 years,” she said. “For us to partner with the Morning News, SMU and TalkSTEM, to bring science literacy to the public, that’s an honor.”
