Hats off to the winners of the inaugural Google Science Fair!
The best news? They are all girls! From Google:

The results are in—and this year was all about girl power. Our top three winners by age category are:
Lauren Hodge in the 13-14 age group. Lauren studied the effect of different marinades on the level of potentially harmful carcinogens in grilled chicken.
Naomi Shah in the 15-16 age group. Naomi endeavored to prove that making changes to indoor environments that improve indoor air quality can reduce people’s reliance on asthma medications.
Shree Bose in the 17-18 age group. Shree discovered a way to improve ovarian cancer treatment for patients when they have built up a resistance to certain chemotherapy drugs.



In other news, I WANT THAT TROPHY.

      These young girls should be to whom other young girls look up to. Not Lady Gaga or Kesha.
