Send us Fan Mail In this episode, we get real. I reflect on the journey that led to the publication of my research paper in the Journal of High School Science. I also talk about my experience as a student in the Lumiere Research Scholar Program, working closely with my mentor, Clara Figueras, throu…
Send us Fan Mail In this episode of Mind Over Molecules, I sit down with Clara Figueras, a PhD researcher at the University of Cambridge whose work focuses on cell signaling and kinase proteins. Together, we explore the science behind her research, what it is like to pursue a PhD at one of the worl…
Send us Fan Mail In this episode of Mind Over Molecules, I sit down with Professor Terry J. Hart—a former United States Air Force pilot, NASA astronaut, and current professor of mechanical engineering at Lehigh University—for a conversation about exploration, engineering, and the future of humanity…
Send us Fan Mail Cancer. It’s a word we all know, but few of us truly understand. Unlike viruses or bacteria, cancer doesn’t come from the outside; it’s a disease of self, where your own cells go rogue and break every rule of biology. In this episode, we dive deep into what cancer actually is, why …
Send us Fan Mail In this episode of Mind Over Molecules, I sit down with John Hess, an Associate Project Manager working in the medical technology field. Behind every device used in healthcare is a massive team of engineers, researchers, and project managers working to bring innovations from concep…
Send us Fan Mail For years, one major question haunted biology: how do proteins fold? These tiny molecular machines run every part of life, from memory to immunity, but their shapes were a mystery locked away in complexity. Then, almost overnight, artificial intelligence cracked the code. In this e…
Send us Fan Mail What if life had evolved backwards? In this episode, we explore the frontier of mirror life, a version of biology built from molecules that are the exact opposite of ours. From drugs that could last forever in the body, to organisms resistant to every virus on Earth, to the mind-be…
Send us Fan Mail Squishy, soft, and mostly made of water, hydrogels don’t sound like cutting-edge science, but beneath the jelly-like surface lies a powerful tool that’s changing medicine! In this episode, we uncover how hydrogels are being used to deliver drugs exactly where they’re needed, to reb…
Send us Fan Mail Everyone talks about your GPA, test scores, and college apps—and while all of these things are essential, there is not enough focus on you. Who you’re becoming. What you’re learning about yourself. And how to actually use high school as a launchpad for success instead of a pressure…
