Tara
Stewart earned her Ph.D.
in Neuroscience from the
University of British
Columbia where she
specialized in Neuroanatomy.
The University of the Virgin
Islands recruited her for a
Post Doctorate Fellowship
and Adjunct Faculty position
researching small circuit
neurophysiology. Recognizing
that translational medicine
was the ultimate evolution
of basic science research,
Dr. Stewart relocated to
Chicago and trained in
surgical intraoperative
neurophysiological
monitoring to bridge the
worlds of basic science and
clinical medicine. Today,
she is a neuroscientist at
the Brain Institute at Miami
Children’s Hospital where
she is studying the human
cortex. Dr. Stewart is the
president of the Association
for Reform of Institutional
Abuse (ARIA). ARIA works to
educate the community and
larger public about specific
instances of institutional
abuse that targets the
unsuspecting. She can be
