2019 Annual Report

First page Previous page 24-25 Next page Last page

For the fifth consecutive year, Science News spotlighted 10 early- and mid-career scientists on their way to greater widespread acclaim. Some members of the SN 10 class of 2019 are tackling problems of societal importance, from studying how climate change will affect food supplies to working to make education more equitable. Others are advancing our basic understanding of matter and life in the cosmos. Members of this year’s group are developing new tools to see deep into cells or into the mind, and are finding new routes to green fuels. Each scientist included in the SN 10 was nominated by a Nobel laureate, recently elected member of the National Academy of Sciences or, for the first time, a scientist previ- ously named to our SN 10 list. All are age 40 or under and were selected by Science News staff for their potential to shape the science of the future. SN10 MEET THE “
