Brad grew up in small town Illinois, playing outside all summer, building go-karts and tree houses in the woods. He went to the University of Illinois to study engineering and Carnegie Mellon for robotics. Later, he shrunk his focus: he began building tiny robots the size of a grain of sand. Now, Brad Nelson, PhD, is a Professor of Robotics and Intelligent Systems at ETH Zurich. He just published research in which he and his team navigated tiny robots to a precise spot in a large animal...

Melissa Harrison explores the foundations of human life, in fruit flies (she's a biologist)
Melissa was born into a family of scientists, but she always wanted to be a historian. As she grew up, however, she realized that science allowed her to satisfy her infinite curiosity and desire for discovery, and so she "went into the family business." Melissa Harrison, PhD, is now a molecular biologist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and she studies how human cells turn particular genes on and off, developing from a single cell into a full-grown person. She uses the fruit fly ...
