A St. Anthony’s High
School senior is going places in life – but before that, she will be competing
in the finals of the 2022 Junior Science and Humanities Symposium at York
College at the end of the month.
Amanda Ferrante is one
of 12 science research students on Long Island to compete. Her paper – The
Implications of DNA Barcoding and Modeling in Analyzing Similarities,
Differences, and Potential Structural Mutations in Insect Genomes – will be
presented.
If it’s among the top
five papers, she will move on to the national finals in Albuquerque, New Mexico,
in late April. There, she can win cash and scholarships.
