My name is Rithvik Musuku and I am from Gilbert, AZ. I am still a student and intend to graduate with a degree in astronomy. There are many long-term problems the world faces and not many people around the world receive the same level of upbringing that I did in an American middle/upper-middle class family. Thus, I started Advancing Science Worldwide as I believe ensuring that everyone around the world has access to science education is key to finding solutions to our world's long-term problems, such as antibiotic resistance and climate change.
