“This competition brings all of eastern and western New York science research students into state competition,” said science research teacher Melissa Carnahan. “Kaveri was one of five winners in the third place category of the state competition. We are very proud of her.”

The JSHS competition brings together approximately 800 elite science research competitors from around the state. Gowda’s third place finish came in the poster competition. Her classmates Jackie Contento and Joe Raphael also made an appearance at JSHS, participating in the PowerPoint competition.

Gowda’s research, titled "Sulfamethoxazole and Ciprofloxacin Resistance from Wastewater Pollution in Microbial Stream Communities,” also earned her an invitation to the I-SWEEEP (International Sustainable World Engineering Energy Environment Project olympiad that will take place in Houston, Texas, in May.
