730 - Women's History Month: A Conversation With Sue Baker, the "Mother of Injury Prevention"

from Public Health On Call · host Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health

When Sue Baker started her research career in the 1960s, there was no field devoted to injury prevention despite accidents being a leading cause of death in the US. In honor of Women's History Month, Stephanie Desmon talks with injury prevention pioneer Baker about her half century of research looking at everything from aviation safety to hot dog choking deaths, and her hands-on approach to research which included getting her pilot's license, working in a medical examiner's office, and driving a commercial truck.
