Hi! My name is Emily Savedoff and I am graduating from North and the Science Research Program this June, and will be continuing my education at Cornell University as a Business Major this fall. I began my Science Research journey as a sophomore, unsure and unaware of any topic I felt strongly enough to study for the next three years. I began my journey studying the effects of body shaming. Shortly after, I began researching the factors that affect middle school students correlating these effects to body shaming. While I do not intend to pursue a career in a STEM field, the research skills I have gained via this program and from Dr. Schuchman will continue to be prevalent in my other other endeavors, as well as play a role in my ultimate success.
