Congratulations to Wendy Cui '23, a winner in the New York Times fourth annual STEM Writing Contest, a partnership with ScienceNews and Society4Science. Wendy's submission titled, “What the Nose Knows: The Underappreciated Olfactory Sense” has been selected as one of the top 10 winning pieces from a pool of over 3,000 entries. Her well-crafted article, which explores the underrated sense of smell, is available to read here.

The contest invited adolescents from across the globe to address an issue in science, technology, engineering, math, or health through a 500-word explanation that could be appreciated by scientists and nonscientists alike.
