Aditi Kona

Copy-Editor (Scientific)

I'm a high school senior with a deep interest in biomedical research regarding the cellular and molecular mechanisms behind neurological diseases. Additionally, I am highly passionate about improving the quality of healthcare and reducing the cost of care for patients. To that end, I hope to one day earn an MD/MBA dual degree in order to pursue a specialty before ultimately working in hospital administration.

As part of the Youth STEM Matters Team, Aditi has:

Been recognised as the Youth STEM Matters Volunteer of the Month for November/December 2020
Participated in the Youth STEM Summit, as the Session Host of the series of ‘Crash Course Workshops’
Written and reviewed an article for the Copy-Editing Team Renewable Energy Project
Transcribed the interview: “In Conversation With Prof. Rana Dajani”
Shared her experiences as part of the Volunteer Team for World Youth Skills Day
Helped a member of the Science Communication Team with their article as part of the Rosalind Franklin Project
Completed Copy-Editor Training in May 2020
Before taking on the role of Lead Typesetter, in January 2021, Aditi was previously a Copy-Editor, a role which she continues to undertake alongside leading the Typesetters team.

“I’ve learned a lot about collaboration. Not only working with copy-editors, but seeing how we all have a role to play to effectively produce a quality article. Youth STEM Matters has genuinely helped with writing essays for school and competitions. The training especially introduced me to methods that I can actively utilize.”
