Thomas Burnett
Neuroscience graduate student, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine
When he is not studying or conducting research, Burnett is advocating for greater access to science for underserved communities. His efforts include organizing a science festival called Baltimore Brainfest, which provides students in grades K-8 an opportunity to learn from hands-on, interactive neuroscience exhibits. He is also overseeing Maryland DNA Day, an event that will expose K-12 students to the field of genetics.

His work has included providing portable ultrasound exams to dozens of men and women in Cape Verde without access to imaging, including pregnant women who were previously unable to get a prenatal evalu
New Semiconductor Detector can Identify Radioactive Isotopes with High Resolution
Written by AZoOpticsDec 8 2020
In groundbreaking new research, an international team of researchers led by the University of Minnesota Twin Cities has developed a unique process for producing a quantum state that is part light and part matter.
The discovery provides fundamental new insights for more efficiently developing the next generation of quantum-based optical and electronic devices. The research could also have an impact on increasing efficiency of nanoscale chemical reactions.
The research is published in
Nature Photonics, a high-impact, peer-reviewed scientific journal published by the Springer Nature Publishing Group.
Quantum science studies natural phenomena of light and matter at the smallest scales. In this study, the researchers developed a unique process in which they achieved ultrastrong coupling between infrared light (photons) and matter (atomic vibrations) by trapping light i
Dr. Kizzmekia “Kizzy” Corbett, the Black woman who co-led the National Institutes of Health team that discovered Moderna’s coronavirus vaccine, lends a supportive hand Friday as the Rev. Jesse Jackson receives the vaccine from Roseland Community Hospital physician Kiran Chekka. It’s part of efforts by Black community leaders to battle distrust of the vaccine in that community.

In the monumental effort to build Black community trust of the coronavirus vaccine, the Rev. Jesse Jackson rolled up his sleeve. Famous viral immunologist Dr. Kizzmekia “Kizzy” Corbett placed a supportive hand on his shoulder. And Dr. Kiran Chekka stuck the needle in his arm.
Seattle and Shoreline meet at 145th Street. On the ground, it is impossible to tell which side is which city. Should this be a county line? (Photo by Ray Dubicki)
Seattle’s boundaries are ridiculous. In the north, the city is separated from its neighbors by the width of a street. In the south, the errant wiggles and tight bends of the boundary work to cut neighbor from neighbor while scooping up shreds of parkland.
Politically, the city lines are exactly wrong. For some issues–building transit, responding to climate change and homelessness–the city’s tax pool and effectiveness are not expansive enough to make significant change. For other issues–getting sidewalks built, responsive public education, police accountability–the bureaucracy and the space the city covers are just too sprawling.
