Rewards for Young Scientists

Abstract

LOCAL SECTIONS of scientific organizations increasingly are becoming interested in rewarding science fair participants who prepare notable exhibits in particular disciplines of science. The presentation of awards by individual societies brings supplementary recognition to students and their teachers. It has been the personal experience of the writers that excellent exhibits in the field of microbiology often have been overlooked by judges who, though excellent biologists, were not in a position to choose among specialty areas. The same may hold true for exhibits in electrochemistry, instrumentation or any other particular segment of broad scientific area.
