Senior is Intel Finalist

For the third time in the last four years, Roslyn High School has one of the 40 students in the nation named Intel Science Talent Search Finalists. This year's finalist is Kevin Xu.

"I initially could not believe I was selected as a finalist! It was one of those moments of pure elation!" exclaimed Kevin.

Kevin's project was entitled "Relationships between Oncologist Gender, Participatory Decision Making, Anxiety, and Breast Cancer Care." He designed the study as a sophomore in Roslyn High School's Behavioral Science Seminar under the guidance of Dr. Allyson Weseley. During the summer and fall, Kevin surveyed over 100 breast cancer patients in Brooklyn and Staten Island to explore factors related to patients' likelihood of receiving adjuvant therapies following lumpectomies, a process known as standard care.

Intel Finalist Kevin Xu.

Kevin found surprisingly low rates of standard care: only 44% of patients were receiving any type of follow-up treatment. Interestingly, adjuvant therapies were not related to the quality of the patient-doctor relationship or the patients' levels of anxiety, as had been suggested by previous researchers. However, women who saw female oncologists were more likely to receive standard care than women who saw male oncologists.

Kevin will next travel to Washington, DC to participate in the Science Talent Institute in March. There, he and the nation’s other 39 finalists, will be interviewed by some of our nation's top scientists to determine who will be named among the top 10 Intel Science Talent Search winners. Last year, another Roslyn High School student, Chelsea Jurman, placed 5th. "We are already delighted by Kevin's level of success," said Dr. Weseley. "Kevin is an unbelievably hard worker; no one is more deserving than he." Kevin will attend Columbia University in the fall and intends to become a physician.

Three other Roslyn High School students were named as semifinalists in this year's competition: Samantha Halpern, Anouva Kalra-Lall and Lauren Kobrick. It was the third year in a row that Roslyn High School has clinched four of the nation's 300 semifinalist spots.

Book by East Hills Teacher and Class
Receives "Mom's Choice Award"

"Letters to a Soldier", a book by First Lieutenant David Falvey and Julie Hutt’s Fourth-Grade Class at East Hills School, received the Mom's Choice Award, naming it among the best in family-friendly media, products and services.

Mrs. Hutt and her fourth grade class at East Hills School developed a correspondence with First Lieutenant David Falvey while he was serving in Baghdad, Iraq with his Army National Guard unit, the 972nd Military Police Company. The children sent letters and drawings to Lt. Falvey and he in turn sent photos and answered every letter. The letters, artwork and Lt. Falvey's responses and personal photographs were put together into the book entitled "Letters to a Soldier."

The book received a Gold Award in the Juvenile Level 2 Books (Ages 9-12) – Non-Fiction category, and Mrs. Hutt’s fourth grade class was awarded a Gold Award as Outstanding Young Contributors. The Mom's Choice Awards honor excellence in family-friendly media, products and services.

RHS Senior Wins Neuroscience Prize

Four Intel Semifinalists from Roslyn High school

For the third year in a row, Roslyn High School has clinched four of the nation's 300 semifinalist spots in the Intel Science Talent Search. This year's semifinalists are Samantha Halpern, Anouva Kalra-Lall, Lauren Kobrick and Kevin Xu. "Needless to say, we are ecstatic," reported Dr. Allyson Weseley, the district's Coordinator of Secondary Research, who helped the four students prepare their papers and applications.

For both Samantha and Anouva, the award is the result of several years of bench work in labs. Samantha's project, "Expression Profiling of Putative microRNA in Epithelial Ovarian Cancer," was completed at Mount Sinai Medical Center in Dr. David Fishman's lab where she was mentored by Dr. Feng-qiang Wang. She identified seven microRNAs (short nucleotide sequences) that are differentially expressed in ovarian cancer and normal cells. Anouva worked at the Neuroscience Research Institute at SUNY Old Westbury, where she was mentored by Melinda Sheehan. Her project was entitled "The Parkinson's Conundrum: Comparison of Cellular Concentrations of Dopamine and Morphine via Novel Time-Resolved Fluorescence Assay Reveals Endogenous Morphine Levels May Be Linked to Parkinsonian Symptoms." Anouva's results reveal that small amounts of codeine may be used to supplement L-DOPA to help ameliorate symptoms experienced by patients with Parkinson's Disease.

Intel semifinalists Samantha Halpern, Lauren Kobrick, Kevin Xu and Anouva Kalra-Lall.

Lauren's project, "Unsafe at Any Speed: A Comparison of Teenage Perceptions of Driving Under the Influence of Marijuana and Alcohol," was performed entirely within Roslyn High School under the supervision of Dr. Weseley. Lauren noticed that her peers seemed to believe driving after smoking marijuana was safer than driving after drinking alcohol and designed a study to test this idea. She surveyed over 100 seniors, and her results confirmed that teens do seem to underestimate the dangers associated with driving while under the influence of marijuana.

Kevin's project, "Relationships between Oncologist Gender, Participatory Decision Making, Anxiety, and Breast Cancer Care," involved a survey of over 100 urban, breast cancer patients via the mail. Kevin was mentored on the project by Dr. Weseley and aided in his data collection by the American Cancer Society. Kevin's study revealed that fewer than half of these patients had received standard care, either a lumpectomy or mastectomy, followed by adjuvant treatment. Patients whose oncologists were female were more likely to receive standard care, but participatory decision making did not differ between patients who had and had not received standard care.

This year's semifinalists were selected from 1,736 entrants, an increase from last year's 1,608. Each semifinalist will receive a $1000 award as well as earn a $1000 grant for their school. Finalists in the competition will be announced later in the month.

Roslyn High School sophomore Daniel Pollack will represent Roslyn High School at the Hugh O'Brian Youth (HOBY) Leadership program as an ambassador this spring. The criteria used to nominate a student to win the all-expense paid trip to the HOBY Leadership Seminar includes being a sophomore with leadership ability, outstanding communication skills, creative problem solving, strong decision-making skills, among others. HOBY was founded by actor Hugh O'Brian over 50 years ago as a way of making a difference in the lives of young people. Roslyn High School sophomore Benjamin Kornick was chosen as the alternate. Pictured here are Daniel (left) and Benjamin.

Laura Karpas won First Place for best work of art in the Nassau County High School Juried Art Competition & Exhibition. The Art Guild of Port Washington is a nonprofit organization providing encouragement, education and a forum for the appreciation of the visual arts.

Laura was awarded $300 for her work, "Tibetan Girl", done in oil pastel. The work will be on display through December 13 at the The Art Guild in Manhasset.
