Miller Place Makes Life Lessons Out of Mosquitoes

The Miller Place High School recently welcomed Ruchi Shah, a scientist who developed an all-natural way to keep mosquitos from spreading diseases such as malaria and dengue fever to speak with students. Shah spoke to her life experiences, founding her company Mosquitoes Be Gone, her work with chemistry, biology and her goal to expand her product to parts of the world where these diseases cause multiple casualties. With her lecture, Shah aimed to inspire the students to pursue their passions, persevere through failures and move toward success.
