Meet Anna-Sophia, 2015 Genes in Space Winner

Anna-Sophia Boguraev, the 2015 Genes in Space winner, easily expressed her excitement about winning the inaugural Genes in Space competition by taking the audience of scientists back in time. Anna-Sophia explained that as a little girl, she used to run around with cardboard model spaceships. Her genuine gratitude sparkled as she stated that the Genes in Space experience will allow her to not disappoint that little girl.
