Student Mental Health
A most extraordinary time producing this short piece about the challenges facing today's students for the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine
Thank you, students, for the honesty and trust in us to tell your stories while revealing very personal feelings.
The students came from 6+ states around the US, #universities and #communitycolleges. Produced under pandemic conditions, the students even filmed themselves! Bravo
And my partner in all of this -- @christophgreen thank you!

Rakesh Jain- 2013 National Medal of Science
For our first laureate of the day we are highlighting Rakesh Jain, winner of a 2013 National Medal of Science.
Rakesh Jain began work in cancer research in order to understand tumors. Going against the grain and by combining engineering and biology, Jain improved drug delivery but all this may not have been possible if not for his mother's encouragement.

Jonathan Rothberg- 2013 National Medal of Technology & Innovation
Our next laureate today is Jonathan Rothberg, recipient of a 2013 National Medal of Technology and Innovation!
From having ADHD as a child and a son born with breathing difficulties, Jonathan Rothberg’s mission to figure out the secrets behind diseases was a very personal mission. It seems nothing would hold Rothberg back. His invention of high-speed DNA sequencing has led the way in semiconductor chip based sequencing which provides a path to better healthcare.

Mary-Claire King- 2014 National Medal of Science
The first laureate for today is Mary-Claire King, recipient of a 2014 National Medal of Science!
Certainly Mary-Claire King never thought it would take 16 years, but her discovery of a single gene-- the BRCA1-- revealed the hereditary nature of breast cancer and was transformative in the study of other inherited diseases. King employed her genetic skills to identify victims of human rights abuses and reunite families who had once been separated.

Michael Artin- 2013 National Medal of Science
Today our first laureate is Michael Artin, recipient of a 2013 National Medal of Science!
Michael Artin is regarded as the architect of the modern approach to algebraic geometry, having invented concepts such as “approximation theory” in the math field. But to the non-mathematician, his work can be seen in the beauty that surrounds us in nature, like the first sighting of the cabbage butterfly.
