Texas A&M University, College Station, TX
The Annual and Student meeting of the STC-HPS Chapter was held at Rudder Tower on the campus of Texas A&M University from April 19-20, 2024 and was attended by approximately 40 registrants. Several technical talks were given on an assortment of radiation protection subjects over both days. For the student portion of the meeting, there were one undergraduate and four graduate presentations given by students representing Texas and Texas A&M Universities. Lastly, two enthusiastic high school students presented their award winning science fair projects to the registrants.
2024 Texas Science and Engineering Fair Season Recap
Two chapter members, Linda Morris and Latha Vasudevan, served as judges, combing through more than 200 high school science fair projects, searching for ones that closely aligned with the chapter’s mission on radiation protection.
They presented the STC-HPS Excellence Award for Best Radiation or Radiation-Related Project to Londyn Franklin, a state finalist from the Dallas Regional Science Fair. Her project was titled “Radiation Resilience: A comparative Analysis of Super Absorbent Polymers and Traditional Space suit Materials for Radiation Protection”. She was given and accepted an invitation to present at the Chapter’s Spring meeting in College Station.
