Meet Sabrina Pasterski, Harvard’s ‘next Einstein’ who rejected big offers

Before becoming a recognized name in physics, Sabrina Gonzalez Pasterski flew a plane solo well before her teenage years. With a flawless GPA from MIT and a Harvard doctorate, her research on quantum gravity piqued the interest of Stephen Hawking. Turning down several high-profile job offers, she now spearheads initiatives at the Perimeter Institute, dedicated to bridging the gap between quantum mechanics and the fabric of spacetime.
