Addressing the Santa Rosa Rotary Club for their annual Project Civilization Speech Contest, Tula Biederman and Gordon Allen snagged top cash prizes. For his speech on the welcomed mystery of the universe, Gordon took 1st place and $1000 in cash; for her speech encouraging those of us who don’t wear lab coats to educate ourselves about science, Tula took 3rd place and $400 in cash. Congratulations to both students for being willing to research, write and speak in the middle of summer vacation!
