Alumni Spotlight

Molly Grear by the ocean

Engineer and Marine Researcher

Bridging biology and engineering, Molly Grear '11 Th'12 studies the structural mechanics of whale skin and blubber, looking specifically at how it would hold up against the blades of various energy turbines. Her dual focus on renewable energy and saving whales from harm has generated public interest in her work—something she takes seriously as part of her obligation as a scientist.
