High School West senior Joey Davide has been nominated to present his ecology research at the State Science Congress in Syracuse. Joey finished in the top three in the Ecology category of the Long Island Science Congress out of 93 projects. Joey investigated the effects of common plastic substitutes, BPS and BPF, on marine organisms. He examined how these plastics affect the viability of algae (Nannochloropsis oculata) and brine shrimp (Artemia salina) at different concentrations. His project is titled "The Ecological Effects of Bisphenol F and Bisphenol S".
The NYS Science Congress is a culminating event for students who have been given high honor recognition by a NYS regional science fair. It will be held in June in Syracuse, NY.
