Launched in 1942 as the Westinghouse Science Talent Search, the Regeneron Science Talent Search (Regeneron STS) recognizes and empowers our nation’s most promising young scientists who are developing ideas that could solve society’s most urgent challenges. The 2025 Regeneron STS finalists’ research projects showcase their breadth of knowledge, their commitment to addressing issues important to modern society and their passion for STEM.

The Science News Learning Ambassadors are educators from across the country who have been inspiring their middle and high school science students with Science News journalism for years! They are Science News Learning expert teachers who want to share their love of teaching science literacy using current, real-life examples with others throughout the school year. Ambassadors partner with program staff to give meaningful feedback and develop new, creative lesson plans using Science News Learning resources and solutions for their own classrooms.

While the 2025 Science Talent Search scholars are deeply engaged in their research, they also make time to participate in a range of activities such as advocacy, nonprofit work or inspiring the next generation of STEM leaders. The sky’s the limit for these exceptional innovators. Read on to learn about some of the diverse projects and initiatives these students are involved in outside of research.
