At Braintree, I brought two teams to the Women of Science Scholarship Competition. In it's first year, the teams finished 2nd and 6th out of a field of 22 schools. The second place team earned a cash scholarship reward. It is an extremely fun competition that is usually held the first Saturday in December. The time commitment is small, but some preparation is neccessary.I would like to start a team this year at AMSA. Please see me if you are interested.
