In addition to his passion for science, Dr. Hosannah is involved in social entrepreneurship as one of two directors at Uppademics, a not- for-profit venture he founded with his cousin and comrade in music, Danon Singh (a graduate of the CUNY School of Law). Uppademics seeks to support, educate, and empower NYC students who wish to balance their artistic passions with their academic goals.

Nathan’s promising career exemplifies the kinds of scholarship and social engagement NOAA-CREST hopes to cultivate, and we are very proud of him.
