For the winter Signature Symposium, Maya Ajmera, President and CEO of 91导航 and Executive Publisher of Science News, spoke with (STS 2010), Co-Founder of and Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer of . Both companies focus on preventive health and wellness technologies, built to track key health indicators. Maya and John dove deep into the scientific background that it took for these technologies to be accessible to the public.

After competing in the Science Talent Search his senior year with an astrophysics project, John headed to Harvard. There he met Will Ahmed and decided to leave his undergraduate studies to co-found health tech company WHOOP.

鈥淭he idea of capturing biometric data continuously sounded like a really cool project,鈥� John says.

WHOOP is a wearable technology that monitors a user鈥檚 unique physiology, tracking biomarkers such as hormones, heart rate, menstrual cycles and blood pressure. These insights align with WHOOP鈥檚 mission to enhance human performance and lifespan. WHOOP was initially designed for professional athletes in mind, from basketball players and swimmers to golfers and tennis aficionados. By tracking physiological data, WHOOP helps athletes optimize training, improve their sleep patterns, and manage challenges such as jet lag, enabling peak performance.

After 10 years at WHOOP, John ventured into another health-monitoring technology called Throne, which is focused on capturing gut and hydration metrics.

Having experienced ulcerative colitis, John鈥檚 curiosity in this technology was personal.

鈥淚f we could analyze stool and urine every day and get that same longitudinal data, we could really transform our understanding and help manage these diseases better,鈥� John says. and uses a special camera for capturing stool and hydration images. Audio capturing tracks urinary flow rate, which is important for monitoring prostate health.

Using what鈥檚 called a , Throne takes images over time to see what鈥檚 going on with a user鈥檚 gut health. Data and information are sent through the Throne app, and a user learns what is going on with their gut and hydration health from the privacy of their homes.

John says gastroenterologists or GI doctors don鈥檛 have much data when it comes to stool samples. Working with University of Chicago researchers with data sets to learn more about gut health, diet and any other diseases that can be studied using advanced image analysis and spectroscopy of stool.

鈥淭he guiding principle with Throne was that we wanted it to be noninvasive because patients, people and consumers don’t want to touch stool,鈥� John says. 鈥淲ith microbiome at home testing, I think it’s around a 60% completion rate.鈥�

Throne is not out yet, but interested consumers are able to pre-order starting this month. Version one is used for general wellness purposes, including gut health scoring and hydration scoring, John says. It鈥檚 intended for everyone but should not be considered a medical device. The idea is that users can track their data to make dietary adjustments or if there is a concerning trend, discuss it with a medical practitioner.

Looking ahead, Maya asked John what he sees as the next major development in at-home health monitoring.

鈥淚 think the big trend in the next 10 years that excites me is no more surprise diagnoses,鈥� John says. 鈥淲ith a plethora of technologies and processes that allow everybody to be healthier and be more proactive in their health journeys, it boils down to no more surprises, and those answers come from more data.鈥�

Brandy Boyd, Database Administrator

鈥淥ne of my favorite moments this year has been engaging with the Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair held in Columbus, Ohio, particularly witnessing the impressive science projects presented by the young participants. Additionally, the transition as we move into the Society’s new building has been a significant and memorable milestone.鈥�

Nicolien Buholzer, Volunteer Manager

鈥淭his year was my first year with the Society, and it’s really been such a fun ride learning all the ins and outs of our programs. From chaperoning Regeneron STS and Thermo Fisher JIC finalists to coordinating hundreds of volunteers in Columbus for Regeneron ISEF, it’s been a great chance to learn on the ground with an awesome team. And truly, that’s been my highlight: getting to know everyone across the organization and coming together to pull off once-in-a-lifetime programs for all our different audiences.鈥�

Liam Chambers, Education Programs Systems Specialist

鈥淎 highlight of 2025 was hearing an audience of 200 educators cheer for the new Graph of the Week lesson plan for Science News Learning at the Research Teachers Conference. I do not often see educators’ reactions to our content. I support behind the scenes to produce the materials and webpages, so it was incredibly affirming to witness their appreciation for Science News and this new lesson plan format. We produced 30 Graphs听of the Week items this year, and I think about this moment each time I publish a new lesson plan.鈥�

Shannon Giorgianni, Director of Philanthropic Partnerships

“One of my 2025 highlights was working the Society booth at the Appalachian State University Academic Innovation Conference in western North Carolina. First of all, I’m from North Carolina and basking in those warm and welcoming accents felt like coming home. But what made the experience so memorable was how thrilled the teachers were by what our 91导航 Programs had to offer 鈥� the Science News content, the resources, the professional development and the community. They were giddy with excitement as they took magazines and signed up for programming. I really felt like I was giving back to my community. Even now, I feel teary-eyed just thinking about it.”

Rory Kemp, Advancement Specialist, Operations

鈥淚 met a young man at ISEF 2025 who showcased his research on different uses for soybeans. I found his enthusiasm delightful. His goal was to create a faster-growing, more affordable food source for people in need. I found his breadth of knowledge about soybean farming fascinating and his push to help create reliable, healthy food for people in need inspiring. This small interaction stayed with me during the whirlwind that was ISEF 2025.鈥�

Demian Perry, Digital Director, Science News

鈥淥ne standout memory from 2025 was working with the Science News Learning and publishing teams to improve the login experience of the Science News and Science News Explores websites and iterating on ways to make educator resources and relevant materials easier to find.

鈥淚 recently picked up my middle schooler at the bus stop, and she was glowing听after a conversation with her science teacher, who said Science News is the best source for learning about new science.听That moment showed how much equity our learning team has built up with teachers through steady outreach to incorporate our reporting into curricula across the country. I am looking forward to further extending that partnership in 2026.鈥�

鈥淥ne of my middle school math teachers, Mrs. Zucker, made math interesting and fun for me. It was the first time that I can remember math really making sense. When I became a middle school math and science teacher myself, I tried to be the 鈥楳rs. Zucker鈥� for my students.鈥�

Ricardo Gortaire, IT Manager

鈥淚 have had an interest in math and science ever since I was an elementary school student, and it was through the support of mentors that this interest was fostered. I remember my fourth-grade teacher supported my love of math, which later bloomed into a passion for finance and business that I pursued through my undergraduate and graduate degrees. I also had a middle school teacher who helped me grow an interest in science and discover my love of plants. I used to want to be a farmer because I loved plants and agriculture, and I continue to discover this passion by growing herbs, vegetables and other plants at home. Both experiences started at an early age and shaped the course of my life, showing me the importance of science and math education for young people, which is an issue that I am happy to work on today through my position at 91导航.鈥�

Brendan Maguire, Specialist for 91导航 Competitions

鈥淒r. B, my math teacher from grades four through eight, inspired me to take risks and be confident in the classroom.听 She ingrained in me the understanding that it was okay to make mistakes because that is where the true learning happens.听 I carried that lesson and that confidence with me throughout my educational journey, and it is a significant factor in who I am today.鈥�

Pratham Patkar, Director of Business Systems

鈥淢y tutor Shailesh Manjrekar didn’t just save my grades鈥攈e completely reshaped my relationship with learning and ultimately my career path. I came to him in seventh grade, having failed my programming courses. I was struggling with GW Basic and Logo. However, Mr. Manjrekar took the time to understand exactly how I processed information and then tailored his teaching to suit my needs. He showed me that programming was simply logic expressed through different syntax, starting with pseudo-code exercises before moving to actual coding. The breakthrough came when he asked me to teach sections of his other classes. Learning with the mindset that I’d eventually need to teach it to someone else revolutionized how I absorbed information. This approach transformed me from someone failing at programming to someone who decided to pursue Computer Science Engineering as a career.

Mr. Manjrekar’s influence extends far beyond those early programming lessons鈥攊t fundamentally changed how I learn about new technologies and approach problems, shaping not just my academic success but my entire professional journey. This experience reinforced my belief that educators, especially effective ones, can be foundational in shaping an individual’s future and, consequently, the future of society as a whole.鈥�

Anna Pawlow, Director of 91导航 Education Outreach

鈥淚 fell in love with analytical thinking and problem-solving because of my two chemistry teachers in high school. My passion for science continued to be supported in college by professors who mentored my analytical research and sparked my interest in chemical organic synthesis. Building confidence in my ability to pursue science was what my teachers helped me with most, and it’s why I chose to begin my career in science education as a high school teacher, right where my 91导航 story began.鈥�

Kamal Quarles, IT Specialist

鈥淚鈥檝e had a few teachers in my life that have been inspirational, but one who immediately comes to mind was my 10th & 11th grade English teacher, Ms. Dolesh. This lady did not play; she taught AP English and because I was in an advanced program, I had to take a class with her.听 She was instrumental in my academic career because not only did she challenge me to be better, but she also showed me that I could face any challenge if I was determined and dedicated.听 Excelling, rather than just completing her class, gave me the confidence to know that I could achieve success in college.鈥�

, Publisher of opened the conversation by asking Ray when he first knew he wanted to be an inventor. Ray traces those pivotal moments back to the influence of his great-grandmother.听听

鈥淚n 1868, my great-grandmother started a school that allowed women to go from kindergarten through the 14th grade,鈥� Ray said. 鈥淭his was very significant because if you were lucky enough to get an education at all in 19th-century Europe, it would only be through the ninth grade.鈥� 听Ray said his great-grandmother鈥檚 daughter鈥攈is听grandmother鈥攚as one of the first women to earn a doctorate in chemistry. She took over the school and ran it for 70 years between 1868 and 1938鈥攖he beginning of World War II.听听

鈥淲hen I was about six years old, she showed me a typewriter,鈥� Ray said. 鈥淚 was very interested in manuals and here was a device you could put a blank piece of paper in and make it look like it came from a book.鈥� His grandmother鈥檚 introduction to the听typewriter snowballed, and Ray鈥檚 interest in inventing took off. He said he collected parts from broken bicycles and radios and was studying how they were put together.听听

鈥淚f I could just figure out how to put them together, I could solve any problem. I could make people live longer and help them overcome disease.鈥澨�听

Ray invented the first charged-coupled device (CCD) flatbed scanner, the first print-to-speech reading machine for the blind, and the first music synthesizer capable of recreating a grand piano and other orchestral instruments.听听听

Later,听Michael asked Ray how futurism relates to being an inventor.听听

Ray noted that this was about imagining how the world could change and what might be possible in the future. For an inventor, it means looking ahead, not just at what people need now, but at what they might need five or ten years from now. Presenting the chart below, Ray talked about exponential thinking and how it has impacted mankind.听听

The chart traced 85 years of computer history, showing how past听advancements connect to AI鈥檚听 future impact on society.听Ray described his predictions for AI as conservative, expecting that by 2030, AI will be able to process all of human knowledge.听鈥淐omputers are language models that can handle everything human beings know,鈥� he said. 鈥淵ou can ask it anything; no human being can do that, and we鈥檙e coming up with things we didn鈥檛 know before.鈥澨�听

Ray then emphasized that AI is not 鈥渁rtificial鈥� but is real intelligence. It is knowledge we can apply directly to our thinking, just as we quickly get answers from our phones. Ray pointed out the rise in social media influencers, which didn鈥檛 even exist two decades ago, as evidence that AI will create new opportunities and possibilities. That people will become smarter.听听

Addressing questions about AI鈥檚 risks, including the so-called 鈥淧(doom).鈥� Ray argued that history shows technological progress expands opportunity for humanity rather than diminishes it.听 听

鈥淭his concern started 200 years ago,鈥� Ray said. 鈥淭wenty years ago, people thought that employment would only be enjoyed by a few people, but employment has gone up and we鈥檙e doing things you couldn鈥檛 even imagine 20 years ago.鈥澨�听
