Mineola Students to Present Research at Junior Science, Humanities Symposium

Two Mineola High School students were selected to present their research at the Junior Science and Humanities Symposium on Feb. 7 at York College.

All high school students from the Long Island and NYC Metropolitan areas were eligible but only the best papers were invited to participate in the Symposium.

Katie Shi and Emily Skupp will make a short presentation in front of a judging committee comprised of college faculty and practicing scientists and engineers. The judges will decide who will continue on to the National Symposium.

Katie’s work is titled, The Effect of Extremely Low Frequency Electromagnetic Fields on the Early Development of Dario Rerio and Emily’s project is on Muscle Fatigue in High School Athletes.
