🎉Congrats to alum Hadas Dabas ’25 PhD (Genetics), one of 32 early career researchers named as a 2026 Schmidt Science Fellow. The program allows emerging research leaders to pursue an ambitious “interdisciplinary pivot” by embarking on postdoctoral research in a new field of study from their PhD.

Dabas will pivot to climate science, with a focus on engineering fungi to create self-sustaining biological carbon sinks to combat climate change.

Earlier this week, a group of graduate students traveled to Washington, DC, as part of the Yale Science Policy Hill Day program. The students— representing fields from space and quantum science to biomedical and climate research—met with Congressional staff, think tanks, and other key stakeholders.

The Graduate School and Dean Lynn Cooley also hosted a reception for GSAS alumni in the DC area.

From his earliest days, Dalton Meyer ’25 PhD (Earth and Planetary Sciences), knew he wanted to be a paleontologist. While dinosaurs 🦕 were his first love, his curiosity led him to study mosasaurs, a group of giant lizards that evolved to become marine. A serendipitous meeting with a Yale researcher brought him to New Haven for his PhD studies.

In December, his dissertation was among the 40 awarded distinction, an honor given when all readers unanimously recognize the work as outstanding scholarship. The Graduate School conferred 197 PhD degrees in December.

In a new Q&A, Meyer talks about how he unraveled a mystery in the evolutionary family tree of lizards and the importance of collaboration.
