Compile and standardize the location, age, rock type and thickness of rocks across northern Eurasia and add them to Macrostrat, an open database of Earth's crust.
Daniel Amador-Noguez
Microbiology & Immunology
Test whether alcohol dehydrogenase (AdhE) activity raises the NADH/NAD+ ratio enough to block glycolysis in Clostridium thermocellum, using metabolomics, isotope tracing of labeled sugars, and targeted genetic knockouts.
Emile Gluck-Thaler
Genetics
Determine how rates of horizontal Starship transfer between fungi change in response to different environmental cues, using a newly developed laboratory transfer assay.
Haley Vlach
Psychology
