  Aahana Nayak

  High School

  Hello! My name is Aahana Nayak and I'm a Junior in South Windsor High School. I am specifically interested in public health and advocating for the access of treatments and knowledge of neurodegenerative diseases. My interest in bioethics and public health arises in the midst of one of my family members in India passing away from Parkinsons due to the lack of access to health resources where they reside. Since then, I've interned at Yale Melia Labs learning about cell autophagy and its impact upon neurodegenerative diseases. I've also frequently volunteered with a Hospital for Special Care in Connecticut who treats individuals who require specialized care such as those with neurodegenerative diseases, and the expeirence has taught me the importantance of the proper respect and treatment of patients.

  I'm interested in a variety of bioethical topics but especially in questions related to force-feeding patients with eating disorders.

I'm a sophomore in high school and would love to learn more about bioethics.

  Abbey Raye Richmond

  Undergraduate

  I am a student with the Chicago City Colleges getting my associates in biology before I plan to transfer to a four year university to get my degree in neuroscience with a minor in bioethics. I have worked as a standardized patient with Mayo Clinic as well as worked as a neurosurgical medical scribe. In this day and age, bioethics is incredibly important as we watch fundamental rights be taken away from us in front of our eyes, specifically for women and queer folk. I would like to eventually pursue PA school and work in gender affirming healthcare for transgender and queer youth.

  Abigail Hirshberg

  Undergraduate

  I received my B.S. in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Florida in May of 2022. Since then, I have gone from performing large-scale cell culturing in a GMP pharmaceutical manufacturing facility in Alachua, FL to trying my hand at elementary education in Brooklyn. Ultimately, I would love to return to the sphere of research and laboratory work with a focus on genetics and genomics, but prior to this, I want to continue my education. While my undergraduate degree was robust in content, it severely lacked in terms of ethical discussions. I want to channel my own personal interest in ethics and morality into my work, and I know obtaining a graduate degree in Bioethics would help me achieve my goal of becoming a well-rounded and thoughtful research scientist.

  Adonis Richardson

  Undergraduate

  I am a rising freshman at Howard University, double majoring in Political Science and Interdisciplinary Studies with a concentration in Bioethics. My interest in bioethics was sparked through my role as a medical examiner in Mock Trial, where I found myself drawn to the complexities of science, law, and ethical decision-making. That experience helped me realize how deeply I care about the moral questions that shape healthcare and policy. I hope to explore those questions further through research and community-focused work at Howard, and through the National Student Bioethics Association.
