Five students were honored at the April 16 Lynbrook Board of Education meeting for achieving success at the annual New York State Science and Engineering Fair.

Science research students attended the fair to present their professional-level experiments to judges. Of the five students who attended, all received awards. They include:

* Caroline Larow, who won fourth place for her project, “Assay of Epigenetic Mechanisms Involved in Transposition Activity of Ac/Ds Transposons in Maize”
* Stephanie Neri, who won fourth place for her project, “Using Image Analysis to Understand the Relationship Between Meristem Architecture and Ear Size in Naturally Varied Maize Genotypes”
* Colette Doyle, who won fourth place for her project, “Investigating the Roles of Extracellular Signaling Molecules Protein 7 and Protein 3 in Acute Myeloid Leukemia In Vitro”
* Caiden Lung, who won first place for his project, “Training Set Preparation and Analysis for Construction of a Deep Neural Network Designed to Search Potential Drugs Against COVID-19 Using Deep Docking”
* Nora Kane, who won first place for her project, “Analysis of Fourier Transforms Using a Combined Encoder-Decoder and Deep Neural Network Model: A Novel Method for Determining Chromaticity”

In addition, Nora’s project was named one of the best 15 projects in New York State, for which she will advance to the International Science and Engineering Fair to be held in May. The District congratulates these hard-working young scientists.
