I want to introduce you to a very impressive young woman from the Corridor, who is going to make a difference in this world. After hearing what she s invented, and seeing her on The Ellen Degeneres Show on Monday, I have absolutely no doubt.
17-year-old Dasia Taylor of North Liberty, a student at Iowa City West High School, has invented low-cost stitches that change color when they detect infection. As she says during her appearance (below), a similar product already existed. There was just one problem. It used very expensive technology. Realizing the people who really needed something like this wouldn t be able to afford it, Dasia went to work to find a low-cost way to do virtually the same thing. That s exactly what she s done.

Dasia Taylor didn’t expect to become a nationally recognized scientist at 17 years old.
The Iowa student has dedicated her life to equity work, from serving as one of her school district’s diversity equity leaders to participating in her high school’s Black History Game Show club.
But when her junior year chemistry teacher at Iowa City West High School, Carolyn Walling, was recruiting students for the Science Fair club, Taylor signed up, fascinated by the prospect of answering her own research question and incorporating economic equity into science by trying to remove financial barriers to medical treatment.
Over a year later, she’s seeking a patent for a creation she carefully curated in her high school chemistry lab: color-changing stitches that indicate when a wound is infected.
