Four young ladies from the Freehold Regional High School District won quite a few awards at the recent Monmouth Junior Science Symposium.
According to its website, the primary goal of the Monmouth Junior Science Symposium is to promote research and experimentation in the sciences, engineering, and mathematics at the high school level. The two-day event includes presentations from New Jersey high school students on their individual science research projects.
Manalapan High School sophomore Aheli Chatterjee won first place in the Health & Medicine poster category for her work, “Rescuing Autism-Like Behaviors and Hippocampal Development in Fragile X Mice by Activating Protein Kinase C-Epsillon.”
Freehold High School had three seniors win awards at the event.
Tanushi Upadhyay won first place in the Behavioral and Social Sciences category for her work, “The Effects of Advancements in Television Media on the Originality of Ideas Developed by Young Adults.”
Nikita Jagtiani won second place in the Environmental Science category for her work, “The Effect of Bisphenol-A from Thermal Paper Receipts on the Death Rates of Danio rerio and Dugesia tigrina.”
Amanda Lebright won third place in the Medicine and Health category for her work, “The Correlation Between Blocked Shots, Injuries, and Equipment Brands in the NHL.”
Freehold High School’s winners are all students in the Medical Sciences Specialized Learning Center, which offers a comprehensive and rigorous schedule of mathematics and science as well as a thorough preparation for postsecondary work to high-achieving, self-motivated students interested in medical and natural science. Students work and study in a creative environment enhanced by contact with specialists in the mathematics, science, and health-care fields.
