Three Young Women Top Google Global Science Fair

Three young women won top honors in the first Google Global Science Fair held recently, in which 10,000 students competed.  Shree Bose, 17, from Texas, won the grand prize for her work on drug resistance in treating ovarian cancer.  For her efforts, she is receiving a $50,000 scholarship and a trip to the Galapagos Islands.  Another investigated how marinades could be modified to reduce carcinogens in grilled chicken, and a third examined the effect of air pollution on asthma.  http://www.npr.org/2011/07/12/137783968/google-announces-global-science-fair-winner
