WASHINGTON, DC, OCTOBER 2, 2019 鈥� For the fifth consecutive year,听Science News聽is spotlighting 10 early- and mid-career scientists on their way to greater widespread acclaim.

Others are advancing our basic understanding of matter and life in the cosmos. Members of this year鈥檚 group are developing new tools to see deep into cells or into the mind, and are 铿乶ding 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 铿乺st time, a scientist previously named to our SN 10 list. All are age 40 or under, and were selected by聽Science News聽staff for their potential to shape the science of the future.

Nancy Shute, Editor in Chief of聽Science News, added, 鈥淲e so often cover the results of scientists鈥� work, but not how they did that work, or what motivates them through the long, often frustrating research process.

Abigail Swann has also been named the inaugural winner of the $1,000 Jon C. Graff, Ph.D. Prize for Excellence in Science Communications. 聽Swann was selected for her mastery of conveying complex ideas with clarity, making science accessible to a variety of audiences. In choosing a winner from the SN 10, the selection committee also considered the scientists鈥� use of media, acknowledgement of scientific research as iterative and ability to communicate the long-term value of their work.

The selection committee was composed of alumni of the Society鈥檚 science competitions. A聽Science News聽reader since 1974, Graff is a pioneer in digital cryptography.
