Media Alert: See the Nation's Brightest Young Scientific Innovators in Action at the Intel Science Talent Search
--(Business Wire)--
A new approach to the diagnosis and treatment of Alzheimer's, a model
that can predict the likelihood of mortgage delinquency, and the
development of new drug candidates that could potentially help in
treating the common flu. These are just a few examples of the research
currently being developed by 40 high school seniors who are poised to be
the nation's next scientific innovators. They'll be in Washington, D.C.
from March 6-12 to compete for more than $630,000 in the Intel (News - Alert) Science
Talent Search, a program of Society for Science & the Public.
