By day, BU professor Cynthia Bradham, an expert on developmental biology, studies the larvae of the sea urchin. But, after hours, Bradham maintains one of the biggest private Lego collections in the world. We tell the story of how these two passions dovetail.
From the Judges
A creative weave of a professor's passion about Legos and her scientific work, this profile has incredible reader appeal and is very engaging. The writing makes the professor's highly technical field and her work ethic very approachable and personal through the analogy of her hobby. Clear explanation in content is balanced with vibrant design and artwork that creatively accent the piece. Although extrinsic to the category, the incorporation of a video element also brought the ideas to life.
