Each year the Society for Science & The Public awards Research Report Badges to students entering the Intel Science Talent Search whose reports demonstrate a high degree of research and are exceptionally well written. The reports, Bellmore-Merrick Central District science teachers say, could have been produced by graduate, rather than high school, science students. Two Calhoun High School seniors –– Nicole Fegan and Paulina Fein –– recently received word that they have been awarded Research Report Badges for their papers submitted to the Intel contest last fall. more
Senior Rachel Mashal, the class of 2016 salutatorian, put fruit flies on a restricted diet to determine whether lower food intake would ward off drug addiction — specifically caffeine addiction — while also extending life. (As it turned out, it did both.) Meanwhile, classmate Sarah Moussavi took on one of neuroscience’s most perplexing, and intriguing, questions: How certain are humans in their own decision-making? To reach a conclusion, she conducted a computer-controlled experiment at the NYU Center for Neural Science. more
Each year, the Society for Science & the Public awards Research Report and Initiative badges to recognize excellence in students’ submissions to the Intel Science Talent Search.

Kennedy High senior Rebecca Jellinek, who played the lead in the school play, “Twelfth Night,” in mid-November, set up a mini-office backstage when she was rehearsing for the play, furiously tapping away at her laptop whenever her presence wasn’t required onstage. In addition to prepping for her performance in this modern version of the Shakespearean classic, Jellinek was also writing her senior science research thesis for submission to the prestigious Intel Science Talent Search. The paper was due Nov. 13. Opening night was Nov. 15. more
Semifinalists in the prestigious Intel Science Talent Search were announced recently, and, as usual, Long Island came up big in the contest. more
For her senior science thesis, Calhoun High School researcher Emma McNamara studied macaque monkeys to better understand the relationship between the morphology, or structure, of females’ canine teeth and their dominance in the social hierarchy of their troop. By studying teeth molds at New York University’s Anthropology Department and films of macaques in the wild, she found that females with bigger canine teeth equaled or surpassed the aggressiveness of males. more
