Meet Justin Bernstein, the 17-year-old Connecticut student who engineered bacteria to make Arctic ice more reflective and explore a way to slow glacier melting
- PC: Davidson Institute's account of the researchJustin Bernstein, a 17-year-old student from Greenwich, Connecticut, has developed a research project exploring how genetically engineered bacteria could help slow Arctic ice melting.
- Named a 2025 Davidson Fellow in the science category, he received a $50,000 scholarship for his work on engineering Cryobacterium to produce reflective silica, potentially helping glaciers absorb less solar energy.
- His project, titled “Implementation of Bioengineered Cryobacteria to Enhance the Glacial Albedo of Arctic Ice to Reverse Climate Change-Induced Rise in S
