You go, girls!

Check out this newspiece from Scholastic: http://content.scholastic.com/browse/article.jsp?id=3748500. This is an inspiring story about girls making headway into math and science careers and research. "For the first time in the history of the prestigious Siemens Competition in Math, Science & Technology, girls walked away with top honors in both individual and team categories." Three girls: (all high school seniors) Janelle Schlossberger and Amanda Marinoff of New York and Isha Himani Jain of Pennsylvania. The kids did science projects about drub-resistant tuberculosis and bone growth. Read the article for more details! Congratulations, girls!
