Northeastern University undergraduate student speaker Clara Wu urged fellow graduates to be proud of what they have achieved, cherish their families, and go out and turn their knowledge into action.

Her childhood paleontology dreams didn’t pan out when the brachiosaurus skull she and a friend were digging up in her family’s backyard turned out to be just a large rock. 

For Northeastern University undergraduate student commencement speaker Clara Wu, the goal is to be relatable, genuine, and to impart some sage advice.

Northeastern professor Dagmar Sternad is studying ballet dancers to understand how to help people regain their balance in old age. Her findings could help us improve our mobility, design better robots, and discover how to more effectively treat stroke patients.

Don’t throw away that Wii Fit Balance Board––it might be more valuable than you think. New research from a team at Northeastern University found that active video games––like Wii Fit and Dance Dance Revolution––are more effective for improving balance than conventional forms of physical therapy.

Congratulations to the five undergraduate students who have been named 2022 Advancing Women in Science Scholars!
