This month, Eos is shining a light on some already bright stars of science. In this year’s career issue, we follow 14 Earth and space scientists through the trials, experiments, and restarts it took to get them where they are today.
Cate Larsen is a social media “rock” star, dropping groovy geological knowledge on audiences far and wide. One of the few Black faculty members at her university, Adriana Alves is helping pave the way for others like herself. Riley Black brings ancient fossils to life in her writing. Alexander Farnsworth studies the climates of Earth’s past and future and asks, Could Westeros winter really last for years?
Some of these individuals have been guided by a sense of duty, some by curiosity. Whatever their motivation, these folks have shown us how to get things done. Join us as we stand in awe of their hard work and achievements.
