Started in 1942, the Regeneron Science Talent Search (Regeneron STS) recognizes and empowers our nation’s most promising young scientists who are developing ideas that could solve society’s most urgent challenges. Each year, nearly 1,900 students submit original research in critically important fields of study, engaging the most promising scientists among the nation’s high school seniors.  This year, five women in our senior class were honored as one of the 300 National Top Scholars, including Rohini Das, Remi Matza, Lindsay Miller, and Samantha Schaevitz. Samantha Milewicz went on to be recognized as 8th place overall in the Nation, an outstanding feat.

Each year, the American Academy of Neurology recognizes outstanding work in neuroscience for high school, university, and medical students. The Neuroscience Research Prize is designed to encourage high school students to explore the world of the brain and nervous system through research and identify and reward those students whose scientific skill and talent indicate the potential for scientific contributions in the field of neuroscience.  Samantha Schaevitz presented her work at the 75th  Annual Conference this year in recognition of her outstanding research.
