Student Wins International Scientific Poster Competition
At Millbrook, students develop a deep appreciation for science through our core value of stewardship of the natural world. Vth former Tiber Roethenmund ’28 carried that value home with him over the summer, and it inspired him to create a scientific poster for a student competition hosted by World Scientific Publishing and Next Breath. His submission, “In a World without Science,” was one of six winning entries!
Tiber’s poster features bulleted lists of scientific advancements that would be missing from a world without science, illustrated by black-and-white historical photos. His work is based on a prompt from the competition organizers to imagine how the world would look if science didn’t exist.
“I’m really proud that my poster was selected for publication,” Tiber said. “It means a lot to know that something I created can help people recognize how important science is in shaping our everyday lives and our future.”
The winning posters and abstracts have been published in the Molecular Frontier Journal, and they’ll be displayed at the journal’s “In a World without Science” conference in Budapest, Hungary, on September 24 and 25.
“Through this competition, students have shown not only remarkable creativity, but also a deep appreciation of how profoundly science affects our everyday lives and our future,” said Xavière Masson Dziemian, Next Breath co-founder, in a press release. “Their posters remind us that encouraging curiosity and scientific thinking in the next generation is essential to building tomorrow’s world.”
Millbrook School is doing its part to train the next generation of scientists and environmentally conscious world citizens. From the AZA-accredited Trevor-Lovejoy Zoo to the solar field that powers us and all the classrooms and athletic facilities in between, we use every corner of campus to foster scientific curiosity in our students as they train for lives of meaning and consequence.
