Announcing our 2026 Fellows! One is a neuroscientist exploring how the brain computes at a molecular level, another is a bioengineer 3D-printing human tissue. There’s a PhD student working on computational protein design, and an engineer developing robots to build large structures in space – just to name a few of the badasses in our new Fellowship cohort! With this one-year program, we want to support early-career talents advancing important science and tech. We connect them with senior scientists, invite them to our technical workshops, seminars, and Vision Weekends alongside leaders in their fields, and offer platforms for sharing their work.  We are incredibly excited to introduce our 2026 Fellows!
