A Corporate Science Project

摘要

One of the highlights of my year each spring is getting to meet the 40 finalists in the Intel Science Talent Search(Intel STS)competition.Spending time with these high school seniors,I can't help but feel optimistic about the future of American ingenuity.Some of them could one day win Nobel Prizes,Fields Medals,National Medals of Science,and MacArthur Foundation"Genius Grants."They may be teenagers,but the brilliance of their work makes my own PhD dissertation look dim by comparison.
