Science Fair . please say there is somone else like me that did the science fair every year a lived for it. I did in my olden days at USV. i remember the usual favs like a battiery potaoto and the gushing volcano then of course the more abstract ones the science geeks did like my twin justin ( cousin really but one a few days apart in age so everyone called us the twins) he made some ink substance that could disapeare and reapeare by changing the ph of the paper. man did i think he was cool. all thins thinking lead to me google this years international science fair catergories this year is still in the works but just listen to last years......
Omattage developed a more efficient and less expensive way to screen for food additive
contaminants, including those responsible for the recent deaths of many pets. By developing
biosensors based on quartz crystal microbalance (QCM), Omattage’s research provides a new way
for ports and warehouses to more thoroughly screen for food additives and other contaminants that
could be found in food imported into the United States.
Raoof’s research provided new insight into how a better understanding of mathematical knot
theory could help resolve classic biochemical problems. Specifically, her work focused on the
Alexander-Conway polynomial invariant for chord diagrams to help prove how to classify
molecules on a structural basis.


Dude theses are high school aged kids truth be told the most mentally changling thing i did in high school was trying to not get caught skiping class anf these kids are screening food for additives!!

P.S for all my fellow Chicago peeps the high school has a group of kids in this years national contest.
