Honors Engineering Student Helps Open Doors for Future Researchers

From the moment she peered at pond water under a microscope, Lillian Hutchinson was determined to "zoom in" on the invisible forces shaping life. Now a senior chemical engineering major in the Honors College at the University of Arkansas, she is engineering collagen scaffolds to help repair damaged nerves, collaborating with NASA on space habitat systems, and publishing cutting-edge research in regenerative medicine. A Goldwater Scholarship nominee and founder of The Lab Notebook Podcast, Hutchinson is equally committed to opening doors for other students-proving that curiosity, initiative and persistence can carry a young scientist from a high school classroom to the frontiers of discovery.
