And a big thank you goes to the fabulous young ladies from Herzlia, Jessica Puterman, 14, and Candice Schneider, 15, who appeared in The Atlantic Sun newspaper on Thursday August 23 with some of their work from the recent Eskom Expo for Young Scientists.
Jessica and Candice did their project on the new and very important vaccine for cervical cancer. It's amazing to see how research into vaccines has suddenly taken off again. There hasn't been this level of interest since the 1950s, when Jonas Salk became an international hero for developing a vaccine against the dreaded disease of polio.
Although we're not 100% convinced of the headline ''Kids flock to geekathon'' in The Atlantic Sun, we're delighted that reporter Megan Baadjies wrote about how popular the Expo was.
