The concept of a quantum — the tiniest, discrete amount of something — was first developed to explain the behavior of the smallest bits of matter and energy. Over the last century, scientists have developed mathematical descriptions of how these particles and packets of energy interact. But even before these applications reach the mainstream, scientists are developing quantum code to perform quantum calculations — and using it to track complex quantum systems.

In our pilot, we recruited a small cohort of reviewers to review a proposal based on their subject matter expertise. We chose to use an exponential scale with a base of 2 for defining the expected utility of each proposal. For each proposal, reviewers were asked to submit their forecasts on Metaculus’ website. This is a logical approach to improving the rigor of peer review. Our pilot study was conducted in fall of 2023.

NC State soil science graduate student Julia Janson was awarded one of The Story Exchange’s 2023 Women in Science Incentive Prizes for her research on saltwater-affected soils. The problem with Coastal Surge Janson came to NC State’s Department of Crop and Soil Sciences to assist with carbon research for the department’s Climate Adaptation through Agriculture and Soils Management group. Janson’s work aims to help NC farmers quickly identify affected field areas and determine their best land use.

Deanna and Sarah Sassorossi began to dream about giving back to the NC State College of Natural Resources long before their graduation in 2016 and 2017 respectively. Their romance flourished along with their studies and careers, and they married after graduation in 2019. They hope this scholarship will be a small part of an overall solution to help increase the affordability of an undergraduate degree.
