Catalyst Quarterly

Spring 2026 • Issue II

Letter from the Founders

We are incredibly excited to announce that Issue II of Catalyst is out now! This quarter features interviews from various STEM spotlights, including Erin Foley (PhD in Biomedical Sciences), Dr. Onyancha Onyambu (PhD in Statistics), and Dr. Raphael Rose (Research Psychologist). Ranging from the role of medicine in combat sports to the science behind procrastination, this collection details research experience, career paths, and much more. In showcasing these stories, we hope to inform and inspire students to explore the vast array of opportunities that STEM degrees offer. This issue would not have been possible without the hard work of our contributors, whose dedication to Catalyst is both inspiring and exciting to behold. We are overjoyed to share this new issue with you and hope that reading it can be as impactful for you as creating it has been for us. Thank you so much for your continued support! 

With the utmost gratitude, 

The Catalytic Triad of Founders
