Science News Presents The SN 10: Scientists to Watch

WASHINGTON, DC, SEPTEMBER 26, 2018 鈥 For the fourth year,听Science News聽is spotlighting 10 early- and mid-career scientists on their way to widespread acclaim for tackling the big questions facing science and society. Members of the SN 10 class of 2018 are skilled at moving between scientific worlds. One uses physics to learn how cell movement in the lungs encourages asthma. Another sees architecture in how volcanoes build planets. Another asks if the proteins of biology can teach a materials scientist how to make self-repairing batteries.

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 by Science News staff for their potential to shape the science of the future.
