40 Under 40 will recognize dentists, researchers, educators, and founders who are under forty on the date the list is published.
The list will be compiled editorially from open nominations and independent reporting. No fee will be charged and no placement will be sold.
We will publish the full methodology alongside the inaugural list rather than before it.
What we look for
- Work that has already changed practice for people other than the honoree
- Contribution to teaching, mentorship, or the public record
- Evidence of judgment under commercial pressure
