Five of Connecticut’s top junior scientists and engineers earned a spot at the National Junior Science and Humanities Symposium (JSHS) held recently in Albuquerque, New Mexico. At Nationals, Antonia Kolb of King School in Stamford placed second in the Math and Computer Science category oral competition for developing DETICKT IT, a mobile app to identify ticks and assess tick-borne disease risk. Congratulations Antonia!

About us
The Connecticut Academy of Science and Engineering is a private, nonprofit, public-service institution patterned after the National Academy of Sciences. The Academy identifies and studies issues and technological advances that are or should be of concern to the people of Connecticut, and provides unbiased, expert advice on science- and technology-related issues to the state government and other Connecticut institutions. It is comprised of distinguished scientists and engineers from Connecticut's academic, industrial, and institutional communities. One of the principal purposes of the Academy is to provide science and technology information and advice, usually by performing studies, on public policy issues upon request of a government agency, the General Assembly, or in some instances, private organizations. These studies result in formal Reports published by the Academy. Summaries of recent studies conducted by the Academy are available on our website. The Academy also issues a quarterly publication called the Bulletin, which features articles on new developments in science and technology around the state. It is distributed free to members, government officials, college and high school science departments, and research libraries at the state's major private research facilities, as well as other interested individuals, upon request. Other Academy activities include participation in technology expositions, the award of monetary prizes to student winners of science competitions, such as the CT Science Fair, the Junior Sciences and Humanities Symposium, the CT Intel Science Talent Search, and the Invention Convention, and also the award of the Connecticut Medal of Science and the Connecticut Medal of Technology.

In Connecticut, buildings contribute about 30% of the greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). CT Department of Energy and Environmental Protection focuses on this issue through a set of strategies to reduce building decarbonization, with the CASE-DEEP Science & Technology Fellowship as a resource used to support this work effort. Listen to the latest episode of the Connecticut Academy of Science and Engineering podcast to meet Dr. Seema Alim and hear about the work she has been doing within the fellowship to help the state meet and exceed our decarbonization goals. https://buff.ly/3Wq37Fd #greenhousegas #climate #environment #decarbonization #science #STEM

Simulations performed on the Summit supercomputer at the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory are assisting researchers, including Connecticut Academy of Science and Engineering Member Tahany El-Wardany, a RTX senior technical fellow for advanced manufacturing, reduce the time and expense of digitally customizing an improved titanium alloy, the cornerstone material of the aerospace industry, “We still have a lot to do as far as real-world testing to verify the findings, but Summit’s predictive simulations shrank a decade of physical testing into what we hope will be 2 or 3 years.” https://buff.ly/4dpjvMp #aerospace #defense #manufacturing #artificialintelligence #AI
