How has Science Olympiad helped with your career?

SO has helped me realize my love of experimental science.  It fueled my interested in biology and chemistry and let me see these subjects in a practical environment, not just in a textbook or a seemingly irrelevant school lab.

 Achievements

I graduated with a AS from Western Piedmont Community College with high honors; earning a 2 year full tuition transfer scholarship to Furman University.  I was a Milliken research scholar during the Summer of 2002 at Furman; and graduated with a BS in chemistry in 2003.  I am currently a graduate student in Chemistry at Duke University
