We're super excited to congratulate Central Middle School's Jonathan Lai for placing in the Top 300 in the inaugural Thermo Fisher Scientific #JuniorInnovators Challenge with his project named Fantastic Plastics: Creating Sustainable Plastic From Milk Proteins. The Top 300 Junior Innovators were selected from nearly 2,000 students from 49 states, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, and Puerto Rico who applied to compete in the Thermo Fisher JIC. Students who are named in the top 10% of their local science fair are eligible to enter the Thermo Fisher JIC, the only middle school STEM competition that leverages Society-affiliated science fairs as a critical component of the STEM talent pipeline.
