Grad School Anyone? I had the pleasure of speaking with undergraduate summer research scholars at Princeton Engineering on Paving a Path to Graduate School. The scholars were engaged and asked great questions as we dispelled myths such as: A PhD is expensive; you need to be a straight A student; you need perfect GRE scores, and you need a master's before pursuing a PhD. It's amazing how prevalent these myths are and they prevent promising students from considering grad school as an option. One bit of advice I give to students is that while the application process is not rocket science, it is helpful to take advantage of support and guidance to navigate the application process more smoothly. Speak with faculty, graduate students you know, and take advantage of programs such as Princeton Engineering's Pathways to Graduate School to help you create competitive applications where your strengths shine through.

🚂 Wrapping Up the ETUT Summer School III at the University of Twente! 🚅 The ETUT (MSCA ITN EJD ETUT) Summer School III at the University of Twente has been an incredibly enriching and intensive journey. We began with an impactful workshop on Storytelling and the Logical Framework Approach (LFA) led by Lisan Assen and Sascha Le Large, which significantly improved our storytelling and project management skills. Marjo Nieuwenhuijse’s session on “Bridging the Impact Gap” addressed the crucial “Publish or Perish” challenge, and the Marshmallow Challenge was a memorable highlight where our team emerged victorious! A huge thanks for the pitch writing training, emphasizing that sometimes, all you need is 60 seconds to pitch your idea effectively. Roy Kolkman’s presentation on “Intellectual Property” shed light on what can be patented, with innovative examples from Walt Disney. The program also included insightful sessions on advancing electrical transport for a sustainable future. Evert Raaijen discussed the future of energy storage, Pat Wheeler covered trends in power electronics, and Helko van den Brom explained measurement uncertainty. Presenting my research on the Cognitive Radio Concept for EMC applications was a significant milestone. The summer school was a great collaboration between engineers, students, and supervisors from different countries and cultures. This diverse teamwork enriched our experience, driving innovation and achieving impactful results through the sharing of varied perspectives and expertise. Thanks to everyone who made this summer school an unforgettable experience. I'm looking forward to a future full of innovation and impact!

At Premier School Management and Education Services, we believe that curiosity is the engine of innovation and discovery. Last week, Mr. McKinley’s Honors Biology students at Fulton Science Academy showcased the true power of curiosity by diving into an exciting, interdisciplinary challenge that stretched their creativity and scientific thinking. As part of their project, students imagined a newly discovered planet—Xenobia, with extreme and unearthly environments. Their mission? To design life forms capable of not only surviving but thriving in these harsh conditions. This exercise wasn’t just about imagination; it required students to apply their in-depth understanding of Earth’s extreme environments and the seven principles of life. They drew on their knowledge of how life on Earth has evolved to endure the toughest climates—everything from scorching deserts to freezing polar regions—and extended these concepts to the unknown. This project perfectly embodied September’s character theme: Curiosity. Defined by us as: "Curiosity encourages openness to innovative ideas and perspectives and fuels collaboration, exploration, and deeper learning and understanding," this core ICARE value drives our students to question, explore, and break boundaries—just as real scientists do. The creativity and ingenuity that emerged from this project were astounding. From new biological adaptations to entirely unique ecosystems, our students demonstrated not only scientific rigor but also a boundless imagination—a combination that will prepare them for the complex challenges of tomorrow’s world. These kinds of projects underscore our commitment to nurturing future leaders who are equipped to tackle both the known and the unknown. We couldn't be prouder of the curiosity, collaboration, and creativity that our students displayed! #Curiosity #ICARE #STEMEducation #Innovation #FutureScientists #Exploration #BeyondTheClassroom #FultonScienceAcademy #ServePremier
