The Whistle, Jun 15 - While many Tech students are attending to their coursework during the summer, the Institute has opened its campus to elementary and high school students for several academic camps.
From classes about engineering, robotics, biotechnology, architecture or the investing nuances of Wall Street, high school students from across the state can participate in programs overseen by Tech faculty and staff. (full story )
Ms. Padilla's Abstract entitled âApplication of an Oligo-nucleotide Microarray for Reductive Dechlorination Biomarker Identification and Process Monitoringâ was one of the 2 winning entries, at the "Sustainability Live" event held recently in Birmingham, UK!
Sustainability Live is the UKâs largest exhibition for excellence and innovation in environment, water, energy and land. The Environmental Science Student Awards Initiative sponsored by Adventus. This was a new award for 2009 and gives students the opportunity to be rewarded for their innovative thinking and creative approach to long standing issues.
There were 2 overall winners of the Environmental Science Students Award:
Elizabeth Padilla-Crespo of the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, for her work on "Application of an Oligo-nucleotide Microarray for Reductive Dechlorination Biomarker Identification and Process Monitoring"
And secondly, Behnaz Razavi of the University of California in Irvine, for her work on "Free-Radical-Induced Oxidative and Reductive Degradation of Fibrate Pharmaceuticals: Kinetic Studies and Degradation Mechanisms".
The presentations were judged by representatives of Adventus and the Conference Scientific Advisory Board - on the criterion of originality, organization, research techniques and overall quality of work.
