Federico Ronchetti who works on the ALICE

said the research has already yielded practical applications, and higher energies
could mean even more insights, and eventually, applications of that knowledge.
Technology found in particle accelerators is already used for certain types of

cancer surgery, and CERN gave birth to the world wide web because scientists

as he explains to Stephen Colbert (https://www.youtube.com/watch? Pradesh/articleshow/61739544.cms)
v=YXh9RQCvxmg) , all of that changed one fateful night in Pennsylvania.
On that night, deGrasse Tyson formed what was likely one of his first thoughts
about the trillions of stars in our universe - a thought that would revolutionize
his life and was actually embarrassingly, as he puts it, incorrect.
Two years before, deGrasse Tyson - whom we now recognize as host of the
wildly popular podcast series StarTalk and television series "Cosmos: A (https://www.businessinsider.in/Uberistryingtosolvethebiggest

"I thought, 'Well that's a nice hoax'," deGrasse Tyson told Colbert. "That can't The New SKODA Octavia Timeless

be real." Ad: SKODA
Then, a couple of years later when he was nine years old and trekking among
the secluded mountains in Pennsylvania, he saw the night sky untainted by city
lights for the first time. And it, too, had an endless expanse of stars.
That's when everything began to fall into place:

"What is an embarrasingly urban thought: I look up at the night sky from the
finest mountain tops in the world and ... I say, 'It reminds me of the Hayden
Planetarium,'" deGrasse Tyson admitted with a laugh and later added, "But so
strong was that imprint that I'm certain that I had no choice in the matter that
in fact the universe called me."

someone who identifies as gay, officially retracted
(http://www.sciencemag.org/content/early/2015/05/27/science.aac6638) it.
Earlier this month, two graduate students who followed up on LaCour's
findings revealed
(http://web.stanford.edu/~dbroock/broockman_kalla_aronow_lg_irregularities.pdf)
that data used in the study were essentially nonexistent.

consume centrist, rather than ideologically slanted, media. Martin flagged the
study when he tried to replicate it using LaCour's data and found that many of
the data sets LaCour used were nonexistent or incomplete.
"Simply put, despite using the same dataset of news show transcripts and

"LaCour's text-based measures of news show ideology reported in 'The Echo

Chambers Are Empty' are very likely fabricated."
After LaCour sent Martin his data, Martin claims that he could not find key
data sets where LaCour claimed that they existed. Several talk radio shows such
as The Savage Nation, which LaCour supposedly documented and quantified to buildinginBengaluruwhichhasahotelgymworkplaceanda

Still, a 40-year-old woman considering IVF doesn't have the 30% chance of
having a baby she might expect if she just saw average IVF success rates
reported, and many people underestimate the effect age will have on their
fertility (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23203214) . Of eight top
misconceptions about infertility specialist Dr. Joshua Klein identified in a
column for CNN (http://www.cnn.com/2011/11/07/health/fertility-
misconceptions/) , two were related to aging.
As with any medical procedure, the costs, risks, and discomfort of IVF have to
be weighed as well as potential benefits. IVF isn't cheap and isn't always
covered by insurance - a recent survey
(http://blogs.wsj.com/economics/2015/05/20/the-price-of-postponing-kids-
for-some-costly-ivf-and-a-bundle-of-debt/) found that 70% of women who
used fertility treatments like IVF went into debt doing so.

Besides the financial cost, women have to deal with the discomfort of injecting
(http://www.sart.org/detail.aspx?id=1903) themselves with hormones daily to
stimulate the uterus. The possible side effects
(http://www.sart.org/detail.aspx?id=1885) of the hormone treatment include
bloating, nausea, throwing up, diarrhea, soreness, and weight gain. In rare
cases, the ovaries are overstimulated and swell suddenly, which throws off the
body's fluid balance and can cause potentially life-threatening blood clots.
For couples who try to conceive through IVF, a lot more is at stake financially,
emotionally, and physically, even if the success rate is often better than the
traditional method.
While looking at the national averages for IVF success rates is a good start for
dispelling misconceptions, pregnancy and live birth rates differ from clinic to
clinic, and the data don't tell the whole story. There are many different causes
of infertility, and IVF does not address the direct problem for every cause. Only
a doctor can say what chance IVF has of success for a particular couple.
Even though the data is there, SART discourages

(http://www.sart.org/SART_Success_Rates/) using success rates to compare
fertility clinics. Data can give women a clear picture of what average success
rates for IVF actually are, but can't possibly predict what will happen for each
individual patient.

Journalist John Bohannon and others designed, ran, published, and publicized
a diet study of purposely dubious scientific merit to make a point about how

Bohannon reveals in io9 (http://io9.com/i-fooled-millions-into-thinking-

Lo and behold, the group that ate chocolate plus a low-carb diet lost weight
10% faster than the group on the low-carb diet without chocolate. The
difference was statistically significant, and Bohannon had a hook to sell.
It wasn't hard for Bohannon to get the study published - journals have widely
varying standards for peer review, and a lot of them accepted the study. Once
the study was accepted, Bohannon wrote a press release, created a fake site for keepthelidonthedatabreachthataffected57million

In Bohannon's story on io9 (http://io9.com/i-fooled-millions-into-thinking- affected57million

"Huffington Post" websites among the news outlets that fell for the ruse. He
also includes screenshots of coverage from the "Prevention" website, the "Daily

Bohannon seems pretty pleased that these publications with large audiences
picked up his study, "fooling millions," the io9 headline claimed. But as (https://www.businessinsider.in/Whyitsimportanttobenchmarkyour

Still, it's worth taking the warning to be a little more skeptical about reports
that a certain diet or food has major effects on your health - especially when
those reports show up in a tabloid.
This study wasn't so different from many other diet studies that also use small
sample sizes. It's unfortunately not common for scientists to tweak their data
by running an experiment multiple times or excluding outliers to get marketingandsalesdepartmentthroughtargetedsocialmedia

A good study typically has a hypothesis and then tests it. This study had no real marketing and sales department
hypothesis and tested 18 different things - not one thing - to see if any (https://www.businessinsider.in/How

group, that approach is bound to yield... something. Bohannon explained it throughtargetedsocialmedia
this way (http://io9.com/i-fooled-millions-into-thinking-chocolate-helps-

Think of the measurements as lottery tickets. Each one has a small chance of

During one of his shows, a customer asked Olian to make a memorial pendant.
Having never heard of the concept, Olian was surprised, but determined. He

Olian still had no idea how - or even if he could - create a company out of the

Olian also makes keepsakes for people's pets.

In fact, he estimates that between 35% and 40% of his orders are for former
dog and cat owners . While he works with pet crematories, Olian says most of
his customers who are looking for pet memorials find him by searching online.
"Something you can always keep on you"

Although he wouldn't reveal specific numbers to Business Insider, Olian did tell
us that he receives orders for his pieces daily and ships them all over the world.
Last year, he said , the business grew by 25% on pieces that range from $150 to
$375. He is also commissioned to make unique pieces for several thousand
dollars, he said.
Due to the delicate nature and sensitivity of his business, Olian says he does
most of his promotion through word-of-mouth and his funeral home network,
but he also has a Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/gratefulglassinc?

Pavlou and his lab mates noticed mainly negative growth in cancerous cells, rendering
their experiments a success and pointing to new ways gene therapy can be used to treat
cancer.
Pavlou is also the editor-in-chief of his high school's newspaper, the president of the
student council, and the co-president of the mock trial program.
After his father died in 2014, Pavlou began helping care for his family, and recently marketingandsalesdepartmentthroughtargetedsocialmedia

nation%E2%80%99s-highest-awarding), along with a $150,000 prize, for crafting a
machine-learning algorithm that analyzes massive data sets of DNA and identifies
adaptive mutations in them.
His algorithm discovered over 100 mutations related to metabolism, brain function, and
disorders like schizophrenia. Not only do these findings help researchers better
understand human evolution, but they can potentially be used to help develop new
vaccines and treatments.
Before that, Jin and a friend created a new chemotherapy treatment that increased
potency, reduced toxic side effects, and prevented drug resistance, earning him second
place at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair and third place in the
Siemens Competition.
Plans after graduation: In the fall, Jin will start at Harvard University, studying
computer science and biology. He'll also spend the summer interning at Facebook to
work on machine learning with the search team.
Athena Kan founded a health fair that raised over $80,000 to fight
childhood obesity.
High school: River Hill High School, Clarksville, Maryland
Kan co-founded CHOICE (Coalition Halting Obesity in Children Everywhere), a health
fair that featured over 40 exhibitors — everything from local youth programs to
corporations like Walgreens — and offered free screenings for hearing, blood pressure,
and dental issues to more than 1,000 attendees. The event raised over $80,000 to help
fight childhood obesity.
Kan was inspired to take on this project to improve the health of her community after
interning as a research assistant under Dr. Lisa Cooper at Johns Hopkins. During her
internship, Kan researched healthcare inequalities for minority groups, presented her
findings at the 2014 Minority Health and Health Disparities Grantees' Conference, and
submitted clinical research articles to several medical publications.
She took her interest in public health another step further by serving on the Howard
County Board of Education's "Wellness Policy Committee," where she helped design and
implement policies that supplement the district's fourth grade nutrition and fitness
curriculum.
Plans after graduation: A Coca-Cola scholar, Kan will attend Harvard in the fall,
where she plans to study economics and applied math. She hopes to continue working in
the public health sector, developing economically viable solutions for public health
issues.
Anvita Gupta developed a computer program that identifies viable drugs
for diseases such as Ebola and cancer.
High school: BASIS High School, Scottsdale, Arizona
Gupta developed a computer program that autonomously identifies drugs for diseases
like cancer, Ebola, and tuberculosis. The system could create a way to significantly
decrease the cost of developing and implementing new treatments, which currently
takes nearly a decade and costs billions of dollars.
This research earned Gupta a third place medal of distinction for global good at the 2015
Intel Science Talent Search and a gold medal in the 2015 Siemens Competition at the
national level. She even presented her research to President Obama at the 2015 White
House Science Fair.
Gupta wants to encourage other girls to take more of an interest in STEM subjects as
well. "After seeing three-fourths of the girls drop out of my AP Comp Sci class, I founded
LITAS (http://www.litas4girls.org/), a computer science club for middle school girls,"
she told BI. The club, which teaches programming and app development, enrolled 40
girls its first year and has been sponsored by Google, Bloomberg, and the National
Center for Women and IT.
Plans after graduation: Gupta will join Stanford's incoming freshman class in the
fall, and plans to continue working in computer science and biology.
Chad Lilley is a saxophonist who tours and performs nationally.
High school: DeMatha Catholic High School, Olney, Maryland

Lilley's resume looks like that of a professional musician, because he is a professional
musician — but unlike many of his peers, Lilley is only 18 years old. He's been playing
the saxophone for nine years in both live and broadcast performances around the
country, including "From the Top!" on NPR, the World Youth Symphony Orchestra, and
the Carnegie Hall National Youth Orchestra — where he was the first-ever saxophonist
to join the group.
Lilley is also a participant in the National YoungArts Foundation, through which he
auditioned for, and won, a US Presidential Scholarship in the Arts. The prestigious
award is given to only one in 20,000 graduating seniors, or less than .005% of the 2015
graduating class.
Plans after graduation: Lilley received a full scholarship to the University of
Michigan, where he will start in the fall.
Daniela Lee created a noninvasive system for predicting test results in
triplenegative breast cancer patients.
High school: The Harker School, San Jose, California

Lee's system for predicting results for triple-negative breast cancer patients using non-
invasive imaging earned her a spot as a finalist in the 2014 Google Science Fair
(https://www.googlesciencefair.com/en/competition/previous-years) in the 17- to 18-
year-old age group.
Along with partner Sadhika Maladi, Lee created a model that can predict a patient's
response to chemotherapy using an MRI scan in place of surgically removing physical
pieces of the tumor, making the process much less invasive.
After this project, Lee realized how useful non-invasive imaging could be and began a
solo project that analyzed images to figure out when tissue is fully decompressed and no
longer swollen. This research can help shorten treatment time and increase patient
comfort. Lee presented her work at the 2014 Focused Ultrasound Symposium, where
she was recognized by Vice President Biden as the only high school student to present.
Plans after graduation: Eventually, Lee hopes to go into medicine and work to

continually improve patient experiences. She'll start this process this fall as she begins a
pre-med track at Yale.
Eli Stern wrote, directed, and starred in an awardwinning short film.
High school: Brentwood School, Los Angeles, California
Last summer, Stern wrote, directed, edited, and starred in the the short film "8.3
(https://vimeo.com/102678946)," which has now been shown at more than five
international film festivals. It was named an official selection at the Moondance
International Film Festival, the Gotham Film Festival, the New York Festival of New
Cinema, and the US International Film and Video Awards. It won an audience choice
award at Gotham, and has earned recognition from the National YoungArts Foundation.
French company Gonella Productions also offered Stern a worldwide distribution deal.
In addition to his creative accomplishments, Stern also excels athletically as a four-year

varsity football starter and a three-year varsity lacrosse starter. He was part of the All-
CIF (all city/section) football team, and named all-league twice for football and once for
lacrosse.
Plans after graduation: This fall, Stern will continue his football career at Princeton,
where he intends to major in economics or public policy. Stern also plans to continue
writing and directing, and already has a few projects in the works for this summer.
Evenlyn Atieno founded a magazine that tackles the realworld issues
teens face.
High school: Towson High School, Baltimore, Maryland

Though she'd loved reading teen magazines for years, Atieno found she couldn't really
relate to them anymore when she entered high school — so she created her own. In
2013, when she was in 10th grade, Atieno began publishing Affinity
(http://www.affinityforlifee.com/), a lifestyle magazine that covers real issues, such as
immigration and sexual assault. Atieno writes, designs, and photographs everything
herself, learning as she goes.
She didn't stop at a magazine, though; Atieno will self-publish a children's book later
this year. The book, "Where Did Daddy Go," explores how deportation and immigration
laws affect immigrant children.
As a teen journalist for ABC 2, which is broadcast all over Maryland, Atieno also writes,
produces, and shoots her own news stories, including everything from one about a Miss
Maryland contestant who struggled with body image issues
(http://www.abc2news.com/about-us/teen-media/md-teen-beats-body-image-issues)
to a story about a new mural for Freddie Gray.
Plans after graduation: Atieno will attend the University of Baltimore in the fall

where she'll study international relations. Eventually, she hopes to become an
immigration attorney.
Hannah Barrett interviews Alist celebrities for the two entertainment
websites she founded.
High school: Greens Farms Academy, Westport, Connecticut

Even without a journalism degree, or even a high school diploma, Barrett has become an
accredited member of the press thanks to the two sites the founded: Broadway Master
Chat (http://www.broadwaymasterchat.com/) and Hollywood Master Chat. At 16, just a
year after launching the sites, Barrett began receiving invites to press screenings, where
she's often the youngest person in the room.
Her sites have given her the opportunity to interview award-winning actors like Kevin
Spacey, Laura Linney, and Adrien Brody, and directors like Wes Anderson. On the side,
Barrett also writes for the site Hello Giggles (http://hellogiggles.com/author/hannah-
barrett).
Plans after graduation: Barrett plans to study English at Wesleyan University in the

fall, and later possibly explore a career in writing and the arts.
Jack Griffin created a mobile site that points underprivileged kids toward
free food resources near them.
High school: Peachtree Ridge High School, Duluth, Georgia
In May 2014, Griffin started FoodFinderGA.org (http://foodfinderga.org), a geolocating

native-mobile website that helps food-insecure kids find the closest free food resources
to them. He used an Indiegogo campaign to fund the site, which has received more than
6,000 unique visitors.
Griffin told BI that 40,000 or more kids in Gwinnett County, Georgia, leave school every
day not knowing where they will get their next meal; these "food-insecure" kids can
jump on FoodFinderGA, which uses geolocation-based technology to point out the
closest free meal. In 2014, the site won the Technology Association of Georgia's
Excalibur Award for the most creative use of technology to solve a complex problem.
By the end of the school year, FoodFinderGA will span the entire state of Georgia,
including more than 2,300 public schools, 1.7 million students, and 1,700 free providers
across the state.
Plans after graduation: Griffin will attend the Ross School of Business at the

University of Michigan in Ann Arbor in the fall to pursue a bachelor's in business
administration, and plans to learn how to grow and create value through business.
Kai Kloepfer created "the world's safest gun."
High school: Fairview High School, Boulder, Colorado
Shootings in both Columbine and Aurora, Colorado — each no more than an hour from
where Kloepfer grew up — inspired him to engineer a gun with a lock that can read
fingerprints of "authorized" users, and only unlocks when the fingerprint of the person
it scans matches its index of authorized users. Kloepfer's Biometric Electromechanical
Firearm Safety (http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/corporate-
responsibility/better-future/biometrics-gun-safety-at-your-fingertips.html) system, as
he's calling it, is also 99.99% accurate, even with partial fingerprints.
Kloepfer's invention earned him the grand prize at the Intel International Science and
Engineering Fair in 2013, and his design became the basis for his smarter firearms
manufacturing company Ægen Technologies (http://www.aegentech.com/).
Plans after graduation: Kloepfer matriculated into MIT
(https://www.linkedin.com/in/kaikloepfer) and will be a member of the class of 2020.
Katie Ledecky is a swimming prodigy who earned her first gold medal
when she was 15.
High school: Stone Ridge School of the Sacred Heart, Bethesda, Maryland
The youngest member (http://swimswam.com/world-record-holder-katie-ledecky-

makes-college-decision-twitter/) of the US Olympic team in 2012, Ledecky won her first
gold medal in the 800 freestyle at the age of 15. At the time, it was also the second-
fastest time ever swum in that distance.
She went on to earn three gold medals and break two world records at the 2013 FINA
World Championships, and was named 2013 FINA World Swimmer of the Year. USA
Swimming and the US Olympic Committee also named her athlete of the year.
She's also tied Michael Phelps' time

(http://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/olympics/katie-ledecky-swimming-with-the-
big-boys/2015/04/17/14696136-e501-11e4-81ea-0649268f729e_story.html) in the 400-
meter freestyle at the Arena Pro Swim Series in April.
Plans after graduation: The swim prodigy, who started racing when she was six
(http://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/highschools/katie-ledecky-finishes-high-
school-career-with-olympics-more-world-records-in-sight/2015/02/04/2fb41a18-ac11-
11e4-9c91-e9d2f9fde644_story.html), was accepted to Stanford but has deferred her
enrollment (http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/recruiting-
insider/wp/2015/05/08/katie-ledecky-to-defer-stanford-enrollment-to-focus-on-2016-
olympics/) so she can focus on training for Rio in 2016.
Kasey Lemley launched a successful Twitter account to raise awareness
to big mental health issues.
High school: Cabell Midland High School, Milton, West Virginia
At the age of 15, Lemley started a Twitter account called @TheHelpHotline

(http://www.twitter.com/thehelphotline) in order to raise awareness of issues like
depression, self-harm, and eating disorders, as well as prevent suicide. Lemley uses the
account to tweet inspiring words and pictures and interact with users who struggle.
Lemley, who has personally struggled with depression, anxiety, self-harm, and suicidal
thoughts growing up says creating the account has changed her as a person, and hopes
to one day turn the campaign into more than just a Twitter handle so she can reach
more people.
She's currently reaching quite a few though — more than 22,000 — and her work has
earned her recognition as a finalist in the 2014 Shorty Awards in Teen Activism. Lemley
is now in the final stages of her recovery and looks forward to continuing to see the
project grow and help more people every day.
Plans after graduation: Lemley will be attending Marshall University in the fall.
She's still undecided as far as majors go, but currently has her heart set on going into
education.
Michael Winer developed a quantum theory for studying how electrons
and phonons interact.
High school: Montgomery Blair High School, Silver Spring, Maryland
Winer earned the first place medal of distinction for innovation at this year's Intel
Science Talent Search (https://www.societyforscience.org/content/press-room/three-
high-school-seniors-each-take-home-awards-150000-nation%E2%80%99s-highest-
awarding), taking home $150,000 in the process.
Winer's project developed a theory for studying how electrons (charged particles) and
phonons (indivisible particles of sound) would interact, using an approach known as
semiclassical approximation. The result is a quantum theory that treats electrons and
phonons as parts of a field. Impressively, his knowledge of quantum field theory — a
branch of physics typically covered in graduate-level classes — is completely self-taught,
an accomplishment Winer considers the most impressive of his high school career.
When he's not immersed in hard physics, Winer flexes his creative side through writing,
and is currently in the middle of his fourth science-fiction novel
(http://eyesoffleshandflame.blogspot.com/).
Plans after graduation: In the fall, Winer will attend MIT as a physics major, where
he looks forward to challenging himself even further through science.
Najaya Royal has performed her poetry at Lincoln Center and the UN.
High school: Benjamin Banneker Academy, Brooklyn, New York
A poet since the age of seven, Royal is already quite accomplished, with a resume that
includes performances at Lincoln Center and the UN. When she was just 12, her poems
were set to music by the American Opera Project and performed at Carnegie Hall. Her
poems have also been published in 11 anthologies, and she was named a Peter Jay Sharp
Arts Fellow by the Brooklyn Community Foundation.
Royal is a participant in Girls Write Now (http://www.girlswritenow.org/), a

mentorship program that pairs high school-aged writers with professional writers who
coach and mentor the girls, and is a student coordinator of the New York Writers
Coalition after-school program at her high school.
Plans after graduation: Royal will be a freshman at the University of New Haven in

the fall, where she plans to set herself on the path to a career in the music industry.
Noah Golowich proved a decadeold mathematical conjecture.
High school: Lexington High School, Lexington, Massachusetts

At this year’s Intel Science Talent Search competition, Golowich took home the
esteemed first place medal of distinction for basic research
(https://www.societyforscience.org/content/press-room/three-high-school-seniors-
each-take-home-awards-150000-nation%E2%80%99s-highest-awarding) and a
$150,000 prize.
Golowich’s research focuses primarily on the Ramsey Theory, which analyzes the
conditions of order in mathematics. Using this theory as a basis, Golowich “proved a
nearly decade-old conjecture on finding solutions of a class of linear equations
belonging to certain sets of integers.” Advancements within this theory can help
improve a variety of tasks, from scheduling to cryptography.
"The general goal is to show that in large and complicated systems, there's always some
sort of pattern," Golowich explained at the competition
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2TdFjkcnFU).
When Golowich isn’t studying or performing research, he can be found practicing jazz
piano or playing tennis with his high school team.
Plans after graduation: In the fall he’ll start at Harvard, where he plans to study

math and computer science.
Rachel Ley started an organization that encourages parents to read to
their newborns.
High school: Stevens Point Area Senior High, Stevens Point, Wisconsin

In elementary school, it always bothered Ley to see other students struggling to read, a
subject she invariably enjoyed. As she began researching the issue, Ley learned that
when parents start reading to infants from day one, it significantly strengthens their
literacy skills later on.
This discovery inspired Ley to create Literacy For Little Ones
(http://www.literacyforlittleones.com/), an organization that delivers bundles of books
to hospitals for new mothers, along with a letter explaining the importance of early
literacy. Today, the organization is active in 11 hospitals in Wisconsin, Minnesota, and
Nicaragua, and has raised over $23,000.
Ley was elected to the GeneratiOn National Youth Advisory Council and named
president of the Wisconsin Association of School Councils. Ley is also a Coca-Cola
Scholar, AXA Achievement Scholar, and recipient of the Wisconsin Jefferson Award and
Gloria Barron National Prize.
Plans after graduation: Ley will start at the University of Wisconsin's school of

business on a full scholarship this fall. She hopes to eventually work as UN economic
affairs officer, and continue to improve the global community.
Rohith Kuditipudi is uncovering what causes fatty liver disease to evolve
into liver cancer.
Kuditipudi worked with researchers at UCSD to examine the progression of fatty liver
disease, and helped uncover valuable data showing what causes the disease to progress
into more serious afflictions, such as liver cancer. This research made him a finalist at
the 2015 Intel Science Talent Search.
In addition to his strong interest in science, Kuditipudi also excels in math and
economics. Last year, he earned top 10 spots at both Harvard’s Pre-Collegiate
Economics Challenge and Stanford’s international math tournament, where he
competed in calculus.
Kuditipudi also works to give back to both his local and global communities. He co-
founded the India Literacy Project (http://www.ilpnet.org/) youth group, which
supports children in remote villages in India. At home, he tutors underprivileged
students in math through Breakthrough Silicon Valley.
Plans after graduation: This fall, Kuditipudi will join an elite group of students as

one of 15 students earning full rides to Duke University through the prestigious Angier
B. Duke scholarship. He plans to study a combination of math, economics, and
computer science, and eventually hopes to be a professor.
Samantha Madala started a nonprofit that takes down healthrelated
barriers to education.
Madala started her non-profit, Healthy Scholars Foundation

(http://www.healthyscholars.org), to help eliminate health-related barriers to
education. Having struggled with hypothyroidism herself, Madala realized that through
interventions like screening, treatment, awareness, and research, it's possible to give
kids with health issues better resources needed to succeed both in and out of the
classroom around the world.
Healthy Scholars has provided free health screenings to nearly 10,000 kids in India; the
Foundation's research has been published in medical journals; and Madala and her
team of four have raised more than $200,000 in addition to receiving a $250,000
multi-year grant for outreach.
Plans after graduation: Madala will be joining the University of California at San

Diego Medical Scholars Program for a combined BS/MD, which accepts no more than
12 students each year. She will continue to work with Healthy Scholars, and in the future
hopes to address public policy issues through innovations in the healthcare industry.
