These scientists are making their mark: the SN 10: scientists to watch

For the fourth year, Science News is spotlighting 10 early- and mid-career scientists who are tackling the big questions facing science and society.

The SN 10 includes scientists studying how cell movement in lungs encourages asthma, if the proteins of biology can teach a materials scientist how to make self-repairing batteries, and how volcanoes can build planets.

This year鈥檚 SN 10 consists of:

• Shahzeen Attari,聽Indiana University Bloomington, Age 37
• Emily Balskus,聽Harvard University, Age 38
• Ibrahim Ciss茅,聽MIT, Age 35
• Christopher Hamilton,聽University of Arizona, Age 39
• Paula Jofr茅,聽University of San Diego Portales in Santiago, Chile, Age 36
• Douglas Stanford,聽Institute for Advanced Study and Stanford University, Age 31
• Lisa Manning,聽Syracuse University, Age 38
• Joaqu铆n Rodriguez-L贸pez,聽University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Age 35
• Anshumali Shrivastava,聽Rice University, Age 33
• Jenny Tung,聽Duke University, Age 36

Each scientist included in the SN 10 was nominated by a Nobel laureate or recently elected member of the National Academy of Sciences.

鈥淓ach year, I am more and more impressed by the scientists who are selected to this prestigious list,鈥� said Maya Ajmera, President and CEO of the 中文无码 & the Public and Publisher of聽Science News. 鈥淭hese scientists are making an enormous impact. I congratulate all the members of the SN 10 class of 2018.鈥�

Nancy Shute, Editor in Chief of聽Science News, added, 鈥淚t鈥檚 not surprising that members of the SN 10 class of 2018 are looking to other disciplines to find solutions to some of our world鈥檚 grandest challenges. Today鈥檚 best scientists understand that they need to think beyond boundaries and what has been done before. There鈥檚 a fearlessness and drive that made these researchers stand out.鈥�
