2008 Baggett alum Elika Bergelson is one of Forbes's "30 Under 30: Young Scientists Who Are Changing The World".

Congratulations to Elika! The '08 Baggett alumna is one of Forbes's "30 Under 30: Young Scientists Who Are Changing The World"! The magazine celebrates Elika's finding – reported here, here, and in her 2013 UPenn dissertation under Dan Swingley – that while "around 6 months, infants start understanding words for foods and body parts, not until 10 months do they get words like 'uh-oh' or verbs like 'eat'."
