Bronxville Research Students present at the Junior Science and Humanities Competition

Two students from Bronxville HS competed in the Junior Science and Humanities Competition at John Jay High School in Cross River this past Saturday Feb 2 and both did very well!

Senior Jackie Faselt presented her project on "Speeding up Solar Water Disinfection" as a speaker and came in 5th out of over 100 senior speakers; she is now an alternate to go on to the state competition in Albany in March.

Junior Elizabeth McGough's poster presentation of her research "Sound improves Appetitive Olfactory Conditioning in Drosophila melanogaster"  came in third in her category of Animal and Environmental Science! Kudos to both!
