Remembering Dr. Alice McPherson

With great sadness, the McPherson ERI notes the passing on January 16th, 2023, of our namesake and co-founder, Dr. Alice R. McPherson. Dr. McPherson’s many remarkable achievements are profiled on our website and will be honored in a forthcoming issue of our InSights newsletter. Her effects on the McPherson Eye Research Institute and UW–Madison, on many other institutions, and on so many patients and researchers around the world, are incalculable.
