Mineola High School students Katie Shi and Emily Skupp presented their research at the Junior Science and Humanities Symposium on Feb. 7 at York College.

All high school students from the Long Island and NYC Metropolitan areas were eligible but only the best papers were invited to participate in the Symposium. Shi and Skupp made a short presentation in front of a judging committee comprised of college faculty and practicing scientists and engineers. The judges will decide who will continue on to the National Symposium.

Shi’s work is titled, “The Effect of Extremely Low Frequency Electromagnetic Fields on the Early Development of Dario Rerio” and Skupp’s project is on muscle fatigue in high school athletes.
