The fellowships celebrate exceptional students in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics disciplines
A program at the Johns Hopkins University puts first-generation students in labs in a field that can feel inaccessible and intimidating.
Scientists have carefully simulated conditions on Earth in the earliest part of its history, some 4.6 billion years ago, hoping to unlock a greater understanding of how amino acids brought the first ingredients for life into being.
According to the research, the natural process of evolution may have been in action even before the development of life as we know it.
By simulating early Earth conditions in the lab, researchers have found that without specific amino acids, ancient proteins would not have known how to evolve into everything alive on the planet today-;including plants, animals, and humans.
