A trio of 荣誉学院 students from the 十大玩彩信誉平台 recently swept a 竞争 for research posters at the Alabama Academy of Science Conference.

Dev Mehta, Kaitlyn Riggins and 亚斯帕蒂尔 traveled to Jacksonville, Alabama, and took first, second and third place in a research category for 荣誉学院 students 整个州.

梅塔，来自莫比尔大学的大二学生 生物医学科学, did a poster on medical research: "Patient Safety: Orthotic Thermoplastics Demonstrate a Similar Contamination Potential to Bacillus Bacteria Recovered from Thermoplastic 放射治疗面罩.” His older brother, Raj, was a member of the 荣誉学院 at 南, and gave him advice on undergraduate research.

“This is my third conference and the first time I’ve placed,” Mehta said. “我已经 从高二就开始做研究.”

Riggins, a senior from Eclectic, Alabama, majoring in 通信, did her poster on “The Prevalence and Effect of Misinformation about Birth Control 在TikTok.” She was still doing her research when she heard about the science conference. 她以前从来没有做过演讲.

“我想，‘为什么不呢?’”里金斯说. “我需要把脚弄湿. 所以我去了，我展示了 and I must have done something right, because I got second place.”
