Anubhav Wadehra: Using Molten Salts to Develop a More Sustainable World
For 20 years, the small city of Chandigarh, India, charged his curiosity for science.
Anubhav Wadehra graduated from Punjab Engineering College in 2017 with his bachelor’s in materials and metallurgical engineering. During a six-month internship in 2016 at Boston University, he decided to take his curiosity even further.
Neila Gross: Investigating Antibiotic Resistance
In August 2022, Neila Gross summited Mount Kilimanjaro. It was a grueling journey that took her five and a half days to make her way up the highest peak on the African continent and one and a half days to make her way down. On the first day, as she looked across the desolate plane where the mountain stood, uncertainty set in when she realized how far she had to go. And when she looked up and noticed that the mountain’s summit was obscured by the clouds because of its height, one thought took over: “You can’t do this.” But she set aside her self-doubts and, many pitstops and thousands of feet later, she made it to the top.

Matt Geib: Reimagining the World of Birth Control
Women have historically carried the financial and health-related burdens of contraception. There are currently around 12 birth control methods marketed toward the demographic, with the most effective options involving hormones. While hormonal contraception methods are more than 90 percent successful in preventing pregnancy, they have also been proven to cause an array of negative side […]
