Two Dalton Students Submit Original Research to NYC Science and Engineering Fair
Dalton Science Research Program (DSRP) participants Kevin Won '19 and Eeshan Tripathii '19 submitted their original research to the New York City Science and Engineering Fair. Kevin's poster was titled "Oxidative Stress-Mediated Anticancer Effect of Mushroom Extract on Renal Cell Carcinoma," and Eeshan's was titled "Managing Indoor Air Quality In Child Breathing Zone: Risk Analysis And Mitigation."
Both students scored in the top 25-30% of their categories and advanced to the Finals Round, which was judged by experts in the 13 science and engineering fields. At the Awards Ceremony on March 26, both performed exceptionally. Kevin was the second place winner in the Medicine and Health Science category. Eeshan was selected as one of the finalists to represent New York at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair, which will take place in Pittsburgh, PA from May 13-18.
