Two seniors and an alumnus are selected as Churchill Scholars – Yale News

Two Yale seniors Megan He and Sarah Zhao and alumnus James Diao 18 are among the 18 recipients of prestigious Churchill Scholarships for the 2022-23 academic year.

The scholarships support one year of masters study at Churchill College in the University of Cambridge, funding full tuition, a competitive stipend, travel costs, and the chance to apply for a $4,000 research grant.

Yale is the first institution to have three Churchill Scholars in a single cohort.

Sarah Zhao is one of 16 students to be selected for a Churchill Scholarship in science, math, and engineering. Megan He and James Diao are the only two individuals who were named Kanders Churchill Scholars in science policy.

Established in 1963, the scholarship program was established at the request of Sir Winston Churchill as part of the founding of Churchill College, Cambridge, a predominantly science and technology college named in his honor. It seeks to deepen the U.S.-U.K. partnership in order to advance science and technology on both sides of the Atlantic to ensure future prosperity and security.

The Kanders Churchill Scholarships, created in 2017, are awarded to applicants for Cambridge Universitys masters program in public policy. Each college or university is limited to only two nominations for the Churchill Scholarships in science, math, and engineering.

Megan He 22

Megan He is majoring in environmental engineering and global affairs at Yale, where she will also receive a certificate in energy studies. Her undergraduate research in the laboratory of Drew Gentner, associate professor of chemical and environmental engineering, focuses on emissions of organic compounds to the atmosphere and their impact on air quality. She has also conducted research on atmospheric deposition at the cole Polytechnique Fdrale de Lausanne in Switzerland. In 2021, she was awarded a Goldwater Scholarship.

At Yale, she is chair of the environmental engineering departmental club, an engineering tour guide and STEM representative in the Office of Undergraduate Admissions, and a peer tutor in the physics department. She is also active with the Goldwater Community Executive Council and the Evolutions After School Program at the Yale Peabody Museum. At Cambridge, she will delve into science policy as it relates to air pollution, climate, and energy. After Cambridge, she plans to pursue a Ph.D. in environmental engineering.

Sarah Zhao 22

Sarah Zhao is pursuing a joint B.S./M.A. in statistics and data science at Yale, along with a double major in mathematics. Her main research interests are in the theory and development of novel data science methods for complex, real-world data, and she has worked on research in quantum information and computing, statistics theory, optimization, and geometrical and topological data science methods. She also won a 2021 Goldwater Scholarship and is a member of Phi Beta Kappa.

Outside of research, she volunteers for the Yale Education Tutoring Initiative and dances in Yale Movement. At Cambridge, she will pursue a M.Phil. degree in advanced computer science with a focus on machine learning.

James Diao 18

James Diao graduated magna cum laude from Yale, majoring in statistics and data science and molecular biophysics and biochemistry. He is now a third-year medical student at Harvard Medical School and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. At Yale, he developed extracellular RNA analysis tools in the laboratory of Mark Gerstein, the Albert L. Williams Professor of Biomedical Informatics at Yale School of Medicine, and he performed with the Yale Ballroom Dance Team. He was also a peer counselor for the undergraduate-run Walden Peer Counseling. Diaos research has been published in the New England Journal of Medicine and JAMA, profiled in Nature and Science, and cited in national recommendations for kidney care.

He is a 2021 Paul and Daisy Soros Fellow and was named to the 2022 Forbes 30 Under 30 list in the category of healthcare. As a Kanders Churchill Scholar, he will pursue a masters degree in public policy at Cambridge University.

Mibelle debuts new moss based ingredient to harmonize the skin’s moisture flow – Premium beauty

A few years after the launch of MossCellTec No.1, the Swiss-based supplier of cosmetic ingredient is launching MossCellTec Aloe[1], an unequaled aloe-moss extract sustainably obtained.

Derived from aloe-moss (Aloina aloides), a tiny dark green to reddish-brown moss measuring 2 to 5 mm in height and known as common aloe-moss, MossCellTec Aloe improves cell-to-cell communication via connexin channels, optimally evens the moisture distribution in the skin and reduces the volume and depth of wrinkles.

Due to the similarity in the appearance of the leaves, aloe-moss was named after the Aloe vera plant. This rare and tiny moss species has a high water retention capacity. Compared to seed plants, mosses do not have roots and water transport systems. Instead, they absorb water directly into their leaves. Mosses can trap excess water and nutrients from the soil and air.

In vivo tests have shown that MossCellTec Aloe can reduce signs of skin aging (skin elasticity, wrinkle volume and depth), improve skin hydration and improve moisture homogeneity.

MossCellTec Aloe is based on Mibelle Biochemistrys MossCellTec technology which allows for the sustainable large-scale production of the moss extract.

Letter for the article A Review on the Mechanism Between Different Fac | PRBM – Dove Medical Press

Correspondence: Abdul Moiz Sahito; Govinda KhatriDow Medical College, Mission Road, New Labour Colony Nanakwara, Karachi, Sindh, PakistanEmail [emailprotected]; govindakha[emailprotected]

We read a review article entitled A Review on the Mechanism Between Different Factor and the Occurrence of Autism and ADHD Xi et al published in Psychology Research and Behavior Management.1 We appreciate the authors for this informative review article and would like to make some contributions.

In this review, the authors have specifically elaborated genetic aspects and pathogenic hypotheses of these two kinds of neurodevelopmental diseases in children, autism, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) while analyzing the relationship between different environmental toxins and these two disorders.1

Although, each disorders individual genetic profile was described the review lacked a mention of the shared genetic overlap between the two disorders and the biochemical factors affecting it. We want to highlight those aspects by mentioning that in a recent study conducted by Ma et al SHANK2 has been shown to be a potential pleiotropic gene underlying the genetic overlap between ADHD and Autism.2 It has been suggested that SHANK genes may play a crucial role in memory and executive dysfunctions found in a wide range of neuropsychiatric disorders, including ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).3 There are also some biochemical factors that seem to affect the genes that ADHD and autism share. Recent studies have shown that Zn2+ ions are able to modulate the Postsynaptic Density (PSD) scaffold of synapses via the autism-associated proteins SHANK2 and SHANK3.4 Zinc deficiency has also been associated with ADHD. In a study conducted by El-Bakry et al Zinc was found to be significantly deficient in patients with ADHD compared with healthy controls, so it was concluded that zinc deficiency might play a role in the etiopathogenesis of ADHD.5

The shared genetic overlap between ADHD and Autism and the biochemical factors that affect that overlap makes it imperative that a thorough study is conducted in this direction to reduce the ambiguity underlying these disorders and to figure out efficient ways to prevent them.

The authors report no conflicts of interest in this communication.
