For Immediate Release Contact: Bob Wisner, Fair Director Karen Cohen, Media Director 860.395.8825 (cell) 860.455.6459 (cell) or 860.228.5188 (office) [email protected] [email protected] Governor Malloy Addresses Science Fair Winners Top Winners Announced at 63rd Annual Connecticut Science Fair HAMDEN, Conn., March 19, 2011 – Governor Dannel P. Malloy was among the speakers at today’s award ceremony for the 63rd Annual Connecticut Science Fair (CSF). Nearly 500 students participated in this year’s event; of those, an estimated 150 finalists, their families and award sponsors attended today’s award ceremony, making the total attendance at the ceremony around 500 people. “Being here today renews one’s faith in our possibility in Connecticut,” Malloy told the audience. “The young people in our midst are capable of great things. They have put together outstanding projects and research that may one-day solve problems in our society ranging from breast cancer to our dependence on foreign energy sources. They are already working toward solutions to the great questions the world must solve in the next generation. “If you believe every headline in the newspapers, you’d think that our great days as a state and a nation are behind us -- that could not be further from the truth,” he said. “We need to celebrate our greatness. These students who put together these projects and conducted the research behind them have been guided by great faculty at our schools and by their families. They are very impressive indeed. They need to understand how important they are. They need to understand that we know they have the capability to build up our state, either in companies that currently exist or in those that are not yet in existence. Connecticut has been a leader since the Revolutionary War. . . we can be a leader again. All are capable of greatness, and some are called to even more greatness. I’m happy to be here today to celebrate your success.” This year, a record 70 energy-related projects were entered in the fair. Some investigated revolutionary concepts. For example, one student built a wind turbine that does not have blades; instead, it utilizes a turbine invented 100 years ago by the great genius, Nikola Tesla. Another used algae to create bio-fuels. Yet another project proposed using a kite that flies autonomously at high altitudes and acts as a wind-power generator to replace ground-based wind turbines.

Five top winners from the CSF will represent the state and vie for more than $5 million in cash and scholarships at the 2011 Intel International Science & Engineering Fair, the world’s largest pre-college science fair, being held May 8-13 in Los Angeles, Calif., and the International Sustainable World Energy, Engineering & Environment Project Olympiad (I-SWEEEP), May 4-9 in Houston, Texas. This year, for the first time, several top winners will receive an expense-paid trip to compete in the GENIUS Olympiad, a new international science competition focusing on global environmental issues that will be held at the State University of New York in Oswego, New York, June 26-30. The top four middle school winners will receive invitations to submit their work to compete in the nationwide Broadcom MASTERSTM (Math, Applied Science, Technology and Engineering for Rising Stars) Competition, a program of Society for Science & the Public. The top two finalists from the Grade 9-12 Pfizer Life Sciences and Dominion Physical Sciences categories and a top finalist from the Alexion Biotechnology category who will compete at to the ISEF are: Grade 9 to 12 Dominion Physical Sciences

First Place: Ryota Ishizuka of Cos Cob, a junior at Greenwich High School in Greenwich, is the top winner of the fair’s Physical Sciences category. In a project, called Optimization of a Microbial Fuel Cell Structure to Drive a Bioelectrochemically-Assisted Wastewater Treatment Reactor, Ishizuka researched ways to use electricity to maximize the output and cost efficiency of microbial fuel cells in converting sewage wastewater into energy while simultaneously neutralizing the organic materials in the wastewater. Second Place: Shubhro Saha of Avon, a senior at Choate Rosemary Hall in Wallingford, won second place in the fair’s Physical Sciences category. For a project, called Modeling proton reduction catalyzed by a novel nickel electrocatalyst with density functional theory, Saha studied the proton reduction mechanism of a nickel electrocatalyst that could minimize cost and increase efficiency of hydrogen production, advancing the potential for this new class of catalysts. Grade 9 to 12 Pfizer Life Sciences First Place: Swathi Krishnan of Stamford, a senior at Rye Country Day School in Rye, N.Y., is the top winner of the fair’s Life Sciences category. In a project, called Development and Characterization of a Novel Listeria-Caspase-3 DNA Vaccine to Eradicate Metastatic Breast Cancer, Krishnan developed and tested a promising breast cancer vaccine to eradicate metastisis without inducing T cell response. Although initial testing shows promising results, further testing is needed to understand the full capabilities of the vaccine. Second Place: Yiyuan Hu, a junior at Hamden High School in Hamden, placed second in the fair’s Life Sciences category. In a project, called Role of MyD88 in DNA Damage Response, Hu investigated an unexpected and novel role for the myeloid differentiation primary response protein (88) (MyD88) in the cellular response to DNA damage. Current experiments are exploring as well as elucidating the details underlying this interaction between the innate immune and DNA damage responses. Alexion Biotechnology Amoolya V. Narayanan, a senior at Glastonbury High School in Glastonbury, is a top winner of the fair’s Biotechnology category. In her project, Anticancer property of major goat milk fatty acids and delineating their mechanisms of action, Narayanan explored the medicinal value of goat milk, especially the anticancer property of three fatty acids (capric, caprylic and caproic acids) on human colorectal, skin and mammary gland cancer cells. Two additional students will compete at ISEF as representatives of the Science Horizons Science Fair in the Danbury area. They are: Ryan D. Kerr, a sophomore at Danbury High School in Danbury Project title: Biological Control of Ticks to Prevent Lyme Disease Using Entomopathogenic Nematodes and Toni Viola, a junior at New Milford High School in New Milford Project title: Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) in New Milford High School. The students representing Connecticut and competing at the I-SWEEEP Olympiad are sisters: Bridget Oei of Hebron, a freshman at East Catholic High School in Manchester Project title: Applying the Principles of the Tesla Engine to Design and Construct a Prototype of a Bladeless Wind Turbine and Theresa Oei of Hebron, a senior at East Catholic High School in Manchester Project title: Development of a Composite Clay Polymer Sponge for Remediation of Oil Contaminated Water. Competing as a Connecticut representative at the GENIUS Olympiad will be: Ian K. Dakers of Bozrah, a junior at Norwich Free Academy in Norwich Project Title: Impact of Turbine Design on Renewable Energy Storage System Efficiency
