On Saturday, February 27th, Wentzville Holt High School hosted the Missouri Tri-County Science Fair (Honors Division). Our intrepid science fairy (is it OK to call you that, Sheryl Loux?) has reported the following projects/scientists as winners in the chemistry-themed category.
- First Place: Yushin Lee and Sydney Thomas, Grade 12, Fort Zumwalt North High School, O’Fallon, MO: The Effects of 3,4-Dihydroxyphenylacetaldehyde on the Amyloid Formation of α-Synuclein.
- Second Place: Rachael Neff, Grade 12, Wentzville Holt High School, Wentzville, MO: Elucidation of the VP35 Protein in Myotis sp.
- Third Place: Hannah Steber, Grade 12, Wentzville Holt High School, Wentzville, MO: KATP Channel Expression and Behavior in Danio rerio β-cells.
We hope we speak for the Section when we say “Congratulations” to the winners and all the competitors who stretched themselves to compete.
