Johns Hopkins APL Projects Among Fast Company’s ‘World Changing Ideas’
Three Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) initiatives were honored in Fast Company magazine’s awards.
The Laboratory’s Basestack software, PFAS elimination methodology and subset seekers partnership with Johns Hopkins Medicine (JHM) earned honorable mentions in the pandemic response, water and health categories, respectively.
A panel of Fast Company editors and reporters selected winners and finalists from a pool of nearly 3,000 entries across categories such as transportation, education, food, politics, technology, health and social justice. The World Changing Ideas awards seek to elevate finished products and brave concepts that make the world better.
“These projects illustrate APL’s ability to channel our culture of innovation and expertise into impactful solutions, and to leverage our relationships — across the Laboratory and with our partners — to solve problems that make the world a better place,” said APL Director Ralph Semmel. “We are honored to be recognized for this important work.”
