Ruchi Shah, a 2012 Sachem North alum, has been selected to give a TedxSBU talk at upcoming conference being hosted at Stony Brook University on Oct. 10.
While Shah did not win the Facebook vote to earn the talk, she told Patch that her talk has been selected anyway.
"I hope to increase awareness about the integral role of science in daily life by sharing my journey from inventing a product to aid developing countries, to researching more precise biomarkers to diagnose cancer," Shah told Patch in an email.
Shah previously received a $25,000 scholarship in May 2012 for her work on an all natural mosquito repellent.
