Science Seminar Txvelve anihitious science students participatecl in the three-night annual Science Seminar which gave them an opportunity to do research and present their findings. They gave thirty-minute oral clenionstrations of their projects. using as many visual aicls as possible to illustrate ancl catch interest. The young scientists were juclgecl hy specialists in each field who ofierecl suggestions lor improvement ancl further rc- search. Projects clelt with such suhjects as solar cells. visilile airfiovx in a vxintl tunnel. penicillin production. crystals. training transfer in planar- ia. iron nietaholisni in rats. and theory ol proh- abilities.
