It always makes me so happy to see my mentor shine. During my time at @PrincetonMolBio, I saw 1st-hand that Prof. Kang embodies the same curiosity & determination in life that he brings to science. 3 Ironmans and a new personal best on that course - what an inspiration to us all!

Investing in young minds fuels global progress.
🌍✨ On #InternationalYouthDay, a joint UN #YOUTH4GLOBALGOALS QUIZ 2025 brought together 50+ bright participants from across Uzbekistan to test their knowledge on the #SDGs, climate action, peacebuilding, and UN history.
By placing youth at the heart of global goals, we are empowering them as key partners for a sustainable future. #YouthDay #GlobalGoals

Princeton senior @MahyaFazel has been named an international Gates Cambridge scholar, joining Joshua Yang '25, whose award of a Gates Scholarship for U.S. students was announced earlier this year. The awards recognize students for “outstanding academic achievement” and “social leadership,” and cover the full cost of a postgraduate degree at the University of Cambridge: bit.ly/45EZIHu

On the Homo naledi papers & @eLife reviews:
@MahyaFazel & @julian_h_s updated their story following publication of the reviews: dailyprincetonian.com/articl…
And @ewencallaway wrote this piece highlighting the reviews/ featuring several reviewers: nature.com/articles/d41586-0…
Good models
This is truly one of the most inspiring and uplifting stories I have ever read! I met Prof. Kang at the beginning of my freshman year at Princeton, and he immediately struck me as a super-prof; now I know that he is also a super-dad who has raised a super-son. A must-read!!
The proudest race of my life. Last Saturday, I completed the NJ State Triathlon along side my son Evan, who had cerebral palsy from severe birth trauma. Read full story here: The Race of a Lifetime:

Last week, I covered the discovery of a Homo naledi burial site by a @NatGeo team for @princetonian
We later came across new information from the peer reviews revealed publicly shortly before initial publication
Check out our updated piece to read more tinyurl.com/2p8ez6vr
A @NatGeo team with the amazing @Anthrofuentes (@Princeton) and @MarcKissel (@appstate) have discovered that #Homonaledi buried their dead 100000 years before humans!🤯
Check out their groundbreaking findings on evolution in my piece for @princetonian

Given my current fascination with #Homonaledi, I am impatiently waiting for the documentary “Unknown: Cave of Bones”, which covers the team’s work and will be released on July 17 on @netflix!
