Heman Bekele, who won 3M's Young Scientist Challenge in 2023 after inventing a soap that could someday help treat and prevent skin cancer, has been named TIME's 2024 Kid of the Year.
TIME said it was Heman's "ambition" and "selflessness" that earned him the recognition.
"I'm really passionate about skin-cancer research," Heman told TIME. "Whether it's my own research or what's happening in the field. It's absolutely incredible to think that one day my bar of soap will be able to make a direct impact on somebody else's life. That's the reason I started this all in the first place."
