Several students in the community have achieved something extremely rare… they’ve been published as authors in a peer-reviewed scientific research journal. This is the same level of academic publishing that college students, graduate students, and even professional researchers work years to accomplish.

Special recognition to our own Sophie Cai and Sanvi Patel, whose names now appear in legitimate academic literature alongside established researchers.

We’re incredibly proud of these students and the Space Farmers program for proving that high school researchers can contribute meaningfully to real science.

Dow High graduate Margaret Hitt wasn't expecting the research of her and her fellow Space Farmers to be published in a major scientific journal.
