You know how we have to do this science fair projects every year? Most of them don’t lead to anything, but once in a while there is one student who makes a discovery so great that scientists haven’t even thought of already, like scientists with masters and doctorates haven’t figured that out.
Everybody needs to see the discovery a seventeen-year old girl made, winning the top prize in the Regeneuron Science Talent Search. She figured out “how to keep neurons alive after an injury”. This hasn’t been tested in humans yet, just on mouse neurons, but if it does work and our neurons can survive, it will be a really big step on the treatment of Brain Injuries.
Check out the video below, it explains the discovery it a lot better than I can.

Congratulations Idrani!

I’m an aspiring writer still looking for exactly what I want to write about, with a lot of creativity, imagination and desire to write.
I studied Writing and Rhetoric at Syracuse University where I explored many different sides of writing through my classes and extracurricular activities in order to narrow my search for an identity as a writer.
I have written for Citrus TV Noticias and La Voz magazine, both of which gave me the chance to explore different mediums in which to write in. Through Citrus TV Noticias I also gained experience in translating from English to Spanish and vice versa, which is also something that I would be interested in working on since I am fluent in both of these languages. I was also an intern at Syracuse University Press where I got hands on experience in what goes into actually editing and publishing a book.
Through out the last four years I have faced a lot of challenges, which helped chape the person I am today. After being in a tragic car accident, being in comma, having a Traumatic Brain Injury, and being in therapy for over a year, I am a new me, willing to face challenges and knowing how to deal with them. I want to write about my accident and life after it to help others, show them it can be done and help in any way I can.
