Spotlight: Selena Martinez honored as a 2024 Steve Jobs Archive Fellow
We are pleased to share the news that Selena Martinez, 3rd-year CEB Ph.D. candidate, has been named one of this year’s Steve Jobs Archive Fellows. Selena is a paleobiologist whose research merges diverse perspectives to deepen our understanding of evolutionary history and the natural sciences. Her thesis proposal, presented in Spring 2024, focused on “The evolution of morphological and functional complexity in the amniote palatal dentition.”
In 2022, Laurene Powell Jobs announced the launch of the Steve Jobs Archive (SJA). The Archive’s curated exhibits and publications draw on material from their private archival collection and reflect Steve Jobs’ deep respect for the past and relentless focus on the future. He believed that if you give great tools to talented people, they will use them to make wonderful things that others can build upon. Steve Jobs saw himself as a link in a chain that began long before his birth and would continue long after he was gone. The Steve Jobs Archive honors this legacy.
The mission of the SJA Fellowship is to support promising young people in their creative, professional, and personal development. Through this yearlong, nonresidential program, SJA Fellows receive a stipend to pursue their ideas, a nationwide community of peers, individualized mentorship, and exposure to bold creative practitioners working across disciplines.
Congratulations to Selena on this exciting opportunity, and in recognition of this notable achievement!
