Prestigious science talent search names 24 area students
Two dozen local science students, who have been investigating everything from myopia to mammalian myoblast fusion, are semifinalists in the nation's oldest and most prestigious science competition. Three hundred high school seniors across the country were chosen as semifinalists by the Intel Science Talent Search, known formerly as the Westinghouse Science Talent Search. Forty of them will be named finalists on Jan. 31 and will attend the Science Talent Institute in Washington, D.C., in March. Ten students will receive scholarships. All finalists will have a chance to display their work at the National Academy of Sciences. Four of this year's semifinalists come from Byram Hills, where the late teacher Robert Pavlica left a legacy of science education following his death earlier this month.
