Canaan Breiss
Psychology
Run high-powered replications of earlier behavioral experiments on learning language sound patterns to establish which human inductive biases, or built-in learning preferences, are reliable.
Clarence Chang
Astronomy & Astrophysics
Build COLIMATE, a 48-spectrometer millimeter-wave focal plane for the South Pole Telescope, with each pixel acting as its own on-chip spectrometer using superconducting kinetic inductance detectors.
Neda Laiteerapong
Medicine & Clinical Research·Early-career
Identify barriers and facilitators to diagnosing and managing post-traumatic stress disorder in safety net primary care and HIV care, drawing on the perspectives of healthcare leaders and providers in these settings.
Yuxuan Miao
Microbiology & Immunology
Use in vivo CRISPR screens and stem cell interactome sensors in mouse skin to find how epithelial stem cells remodel nearby immune cells into a temporary protective niche after wounding.
Mark Levin
Chemistry·Early-career
Develop regioselective syntheses of pyrazoles, triazoles, imidazoles, and related azoles by sulfur-to-nitrogen skeletal editing, using thiadiazine-S-oxide and thiatriazine intermediates that form a carbon–nitrogen bond and then extrude sulfur monoxide.
