Walter “Fuse” Fitzroy and Margaret “Mad Maggie” Kōhere were friends as children, growing up on the planet Salvo, long before either had picked up those monikers. These two characters share a past that’s deeply intertwined. Mad Maggie and Fuse’s Apex Legends backstory Now that Maggie has entered the arena herself, things will likely only become more wild from here. The pair have a long history together, one that has already gotten the other participants of the Apex Games involved. This time, instead of focusing on Horizon and Ash, the season is all about the new competitor, Mad Maggie, and our favorite explosives expert, Fuse. The time in the mountains showed me that I definitely want to do field research in the future!įrom my STEM experiences, I’ve learned that it doesn’t matter how much you know or what skills you have now - you don’t have to be a genius! If you can adapt and be persistent, you will learn the skills that you need to get you where you want to go.A new season of Apex Legends is here and, much like its predecessor, Defiance is driven by interpersonal drama between Legends. I hope to go back in five years to see how the ecosystem has evolved. We spent five days in Grand Teton National Park collecting data and it was incredible. We were awarded the grant to create 3D maps from 2D images to identify changes in ecosystems over time. It was so cool because we could do it as a family. I was in undergrad at the time studying Environmental Science, and we wanted to use the grant to fund a multidisciplinary project across our fields. My brothers are also in STEM fields, and about two years ago, we heard about the National Geographic early career explorer grants. The current equipment is very expensive and stationary - you have to get water samples to a lab in three hours, which doesn’t work for water that’s more than three hours away! So I designed a $300 portable test kit - much cheaper than the $10,000 lab equipment - and it worked just as well. The idea was to create a portable kit to test water for enterococci bacteria. But sadly, no one at the University of South Florida studies bioluminescence, so I got in touch with a microbiology professor to work in her lab. The project I worked on in high school came about when I saw a TED talk on bioluminescence. There were 1500 competitors from 70 countries, so for a high schooler who’s never been to a conference before, it’s the most amazing thing you’ve ever seen. When you’re in elementary school it’s just little fun projects, but once you get to middle and high school, the projects get really complex! I attended the International Science Fair three times. It’s like a mini thesis - you can research anything you want. “I started scientific research in third grade with the science fair.
