Science News Presents The SN 10: Scientists to Watch

Meet Science News鈥� Annual List of 10 Scientists Making the Next Big Discoveries

WASHINGTON, DC, Oct. 4, 2017 鈥� Why aren鈥檛 more scientists household names? For the third year in a row, Science News is doing its best to right that wrong by highlighting 10 early- and mid-career scientists on their way to widespread acclaim. The SN 10: Scientists to Watch includes researchers who want to feed the growing world population, boost our reliance on renewable energy and reduce the burden of global disease. One molecular anthropologist is telling new stories about old skeletons by studying their fossilized dental plaque, while an astronomer has his eyes pointed skyward, to find habitable worlds outside the solar system. These innovators are creative, curious and fearless. They share a willingness to question existing knowledge and an openness to 鈥渃razy鈥� ideas.

Each scientist included in the SN 10 was nominated by a Nobel laureate or recently elected member of the National Academy of Sciences. All are age 40 or under, and were selected for their potential to shape the science of the future.
