During the Covid-19 pandemic, 16-year-old Riya Chandra discovered a passion for hiking but noticed a lack of girls of color in outdoor spaces. Research revealed historical non-inclusivity and systemic barriers preventing families of color from accessing nature, validating her own experiences.

To address this, Chandra founded HYPE: GIRLS (Hiking Youth Program for Equity: Girls) in 2021. The program organizes hikes, nature walks, and lectures for teenage girls of color in New York's Westchester and Yonkers areas. HYPE: GIRLS fosters a safe, inclusive community, promoting nature interaction for coping and self-discovery. It aims to inspire young people to protect our environment and become role models for future generations.

Glassy-winged sharpshooters, common crop pests, consume 300 times their body weight in xylem sap daily, making them frequent urinators. Biophysicist Saad Bhamla discovered these insects

Glassy-winged sharpshooters, common crop pests, consume 300 times their body weight in xylem sap daily, making them frequent urinators. Biophysicist Saad Bhamla discovered these insects efficiently expel urine using an "anal stylus" (dubbed a "butt flicker") to catapult droplets at high speed, a phenomenon he calls "superpropulsion."

Bio-inspired packaging could revolutionize food shipping and spoilage. Currently, 40-60% of produce spoils before consumption, especially where cold storage is lacking. This wastes half of humanity's harvest while a billion people face hunger.

GreenPod Labs has developed sachets that harness natural signaling substances from fruits and vegetables. Placed in produce crates, these natural, residue-free sachets extend shelf life by 40-60% without affecting safety or nutrition. Visit GreenPod Labs for details.

This innovation, inspired by biomimicry, offers a sustainable solution to dramatically lower food waste. Explore more at AskNature or Biomimicry Institute.
