Winning! Google Science Fair


Google’s top three science fair winners by age category are:
• Lauren Hodge (left in photo) in the 13-14 age group.
• Naomi Shah (right in photo) in the 15-16 age group.
• Shree Bose (middle in photo) in the 17-18 age group.

For the science fair, Lauren studied “the effect of various marinades on the level of potentially harmful carcinogens in grilled chicken.” Naomi proved “that making changes to indoor environments that improve indoor air quality can reduce people’s reliance on asthma medications.” AND THE GRAND PRIZE WINNER, Shree Bose, “discovered a way to improve ovarian cancer treatment for patients when they have built up a resistance to certain chemotherapy drugs.”

These incredibly talented and motivated young women competed against 7,500 entries from greater than 10,000 applicants from more than 90 countries around the world.
