“I like how coding can be very creative”
Aparajita Gupta: There are so many things you can do with coding: apps, websites, games, and more. I once coded an iteration of the Angry Birds game using Javascript, which I would consider to be one of my favorite projects. I used to play Angry Birds a lot and with coding, you get to see what happens behind the scenes. So when I started, it made me realize that making these games isn’t as easy as ...
“One unique thing about conducting research in academia is that there is no prize to be won because researchers are people studying what they love: science.”
Krithi Premnath: “So I think I've had a love for, I guess, sounds cliche, but just learning overall, ever since I was a kid.

Back when I used to live in New Jersey, there was this organization called the North-South Foundation, that held a bunch of spelling and science bees, they even had like geography, ...

Shikha Kathrani: “I got interested in research in freshman year [when] my mom put me into [a] research [program] over the summer without me knowing. My current research is about predicting genetic predisposition to isoniazid-induced hepatic steatosis. Isoniazid is a first-line drug for the treatment of tuberculosis. The drug has high efficacy in treatment, and is super effective, [but]...
“In skating, I’ve learned early on how to overcome the challenges I face”
Charlotte Law: “I started figure skating as a sport when I was young, around five or six, because when I first went to the ice rink for recreational purposes I fell in love. I saw those really fast, wonderful, splendid skaters during a public session and I fell in love and wanted to be like them someday.
