New scientific findings come out each day. Usually, folks solely study concerning the researchers behind a few of these discoveries years or many years later once they win a Nobel Prize. We predict it’s best to find out about them a lot sooner.
This 12 months, Science Information is highlighting 5 early- and mid-career scientists as a part of our Scientists to Watch collection. Some are working to unravel huge societal challenges whereas others goal to broaden our data of the world. Under, you’ll meet scientists who’re unraveling the mysteries of black holes, investigating the geology of icy moons, tying childhood experiences to psychological well being, finding out illnesses that disproportionately have an effect on girls of shade and assessing the influence of local weather change on the Arctic.
For the primary time, you can too watch interviews with the scientists. We hope you’ll be impressed by their ardour for utilizing science to reply huge questions. As all the time, please ship nominations for subsequent 12 months’s Scientists to Watch to S2W@sciencenews.org. — Karen Kwon, Analysis and Particular Initiatives Editor
