Dustin Schroeder was 16 and the youngest member of his local astronomy club—by a margin of 46 years—when a professor from Case Western Reserve University invited him to intern in a physics lab for the summer. His parents gave him permission to give up his paid lifeguarding job, and to borrow their car for the commute to campus, and the arc of his life was completely changed. “To me, that was my first exposure to universities, to physics,” he remembers, “to the fact that people had jobs where they just got paid to think things up.” Schroeder and the professor, Dan Akerib, are now colleagues—and neighbors—at Stanford.
