Go behind the scenes of STEM MUN for Changemaking — a global student-led Model UN that brought together over 100 delegates from 42+ countries to debate science, ethics, and policy while raising funds for education. In Part 1, Mihika (the Secretary General) shares what it took to build the conference, from fee waivers to guest speakers, design chaos, and real impact.

One hundred years ago, Werner Heisenberg retreated to the island of Helgoland, where he built the foundations of the first full formulation of quantum mechanics. But let’s take a step back: who actually started the quantum revolution? And how did physicists begin to understand the concept of quantification?

Let’s talk about mysterious particles that, at least in theory, could move faster than light.

Before quantum got cool, classical computing built the digital world we live in. In this blog, we explore the fundamentals, bits, logic gates, and the deterministic rules that make your code predictable and your devices reliable. Whether you're deep into tech or just curious how computers actually work, this post breaks it down in a way that just makes sense. Classical might sound old, but trust us, it still runs the world.

Can a single slice of birthday cake flip your genome’s “on” switch? In Part 1 of my AI-Powered Awareness series, I rewind to the day gluten blindsided my immune system, then fast-forward to how we can train machine-learning models to catch Celiac disease before it derails anyone else’s life.

Have you ever questioned how we’ve come to understand the intricate world of particle physics? How did we unearth the existence of those mind-boggling fundamental particles? Or how do we validate our theories surrounding every fundamental particle? The answer lies in the remarkable collisions occurring within particle accelerators!

Have you ever dropped your phone and watched it hit the ground in slow motion, only to realize it cracked the screen? That’s gravity in action. But did you know this invisible force is not only what keeps us on Earth, it also shapes galaxies, bends light, and governs the motion of everything in the universe?

One of the key issues scientists worry about when visiting other planets is radiation exposure. This has been a persistent worry for years because on Earth, we don’t face this issue; we are protected by the planet’s magnetosphere, which creates the Van Allen Belt.
