A genomics related project has been recognized as top of the fair at the 2007 Canada Wide Science Fair in Truro Nova Scotia. We congratulate Emily Cooley of Queen Elizabeth Junior/Senior High School in Calgary for her tremendous accomplishments.Emily’s project “blew away some of the judges and said it could have an impact in the world of science” according to the Truro Daily News reporting a statement from Reni Barlow, executive director of The Youth Science Foundation Canada. I have written about Emily’s project on a previous blog (Genomics Projects at the Calgary Youth Science Fair). We were pleased to have awarded her the Genome Alberta Senior award at this year’s regional fair. We hope that Emily’s success will encourage future students to do genomics related science fair projects.

 
Congratulations Emily!
