[Histonet] histo-off topic

[RAY KOELLING]

Hello all,

 

returned late last night from Pittsburg and the Intel-International Science and Engineering Fair, May 13-18.  The largest most prestigious pre-college STEM fair in the world. Took  four high school students from the Spokane region.  One of our other "Team Washington" students from near Seattle won the second place prize for the entire 1,400 project fair from 81 countries and regions.  A $50,000 scholarship with a chemical engineering project.


While there, I viewed or walked by every project.  Saw 50-60 with histology images/histology projects.  IF, IHC, H&E, Safrinin O, FISH, PAS, decals, frozen, TMA's; anything and everything we all know.  On osteoarthritis, breast cancer, kidney disease, diabetic pancreas, neuro, lymphoma's and more.


If you are able to help what could be a potential world class student in the field of histology/pathology/medical and clinical research, hope you will.


Sorry I was never able to get to the local histology school while my students were being judged in Convention Center.  Couldn't seem to ever contact them.
