Ever wondered what scientists
do?
How do we make science accessible for everyone?
There’s a certain aura of mystique when you hear that someone is a scientist.
What do they actually do? How does one become a scientist? Can I get them to tell me about their secret projects?
On this platform, we aim to do a few things:
-
Explain the different types of scientists and fields of studies
-
Educate on how to become a scientist
-
Hear from actual scientists on their advice to younger students and “secrets” of the trade
If you’re someone who loves science…this is for you!

Anvi loves to tackle challenging problems—even if the solution isn’t clear or it takes a long time.
Anvi's background in physics, STEM competitions (e.g. AIME), and experiences in research have led her to create this platform to inspire other students to solve challenging problems of their own.

Let's Talk
On Wednesday, November 30, I had the pleasure of speaking with Madison Pickering, a PhD student in Computer Science at the University of Chicago, advised by Dr. Blase Ur. We discussed career paths, the future of CS, and advice for students who may identify as part of minority groups.
On Friday February 24, I had the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Stephanie Palmer, Professor at the University of Chicago in organismal biology and anatomy. We discussed research groups, the importance of representation, and choosing a science to study.
On Monday December 19, I had the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Chan, scientist at Argonne National Laboratory. We discussed nanoscience, skills for scientists, and what a typical day may look like for a scientist.
