John Henry Lotz-McMillen

student, Georgetown University

Hi! I am a rising third-year in the College of Arts and Sciences majoring in neurobiology and minoring in science, technology, and international affairs. During my research summer, I will be using metagenomics to study the diversity and ecological role of viruses in Antarctic soil microbial communities with the Johnson Biosignatures Lab at Georgetown. To give some context, metagenomics is a powerful bioinformatics sub-discipline that leverages genetic sequencing and data processing technologies to study microbial communities in their natural environments. Not only does this research allow us to better understand the ecological structure of environmental microbial ecosystems and how they play critical roles in cycling nutrients at a planetary scale, but studying microbial life can help us understand how life evolved on Earth in the first place. As we continue to overshoot planetary boundaries on Earth while simultaneously exploring deeper into outer space, these questions of how does our planetary system really work and what could such a living system look like on other planets become more and more important.  If you're interested in reaching out to talk about biology, any of my "hobbies," your research, or anything else, feel free!!

I am a rising junior at Tufts University studying International Relations and Art History. I'm currently embarking on my first year as a Laidlaw research, which is about the cultural preservation of Hong Kong's dispersed diaspora. Excited to connect with so many international leaders on this platform! Please don't hesitate to reach out.

Anh Ngo

Student, Tufts University

Hi! My name is Anh Ngo (she/her) and I am pursuing a degree in Child Studies & Human Development at Tufts University. My research project is on examining the correlation between psychopathological symptoms and voiding dysfunction in Autistic adults. Outside of academics, I enjoy awing at Ocean Vuong poems, rowing at the gym, graphic designing, and trying to break my annual Spotify listening time record.
