It's that time of the year... which means go_jshs regional competitions are here! Today, Aliyah Tolentino, one of the students in the STaR Program, is competing at the regional symposium in Columbia, Missouri, hosted by mizzou and mizzouengineer. Aliyah is a high school senior at Whitefield Academy in Kansas City, MO. She is competing in the Biomedical Sciences category at today's symposium and has completed a research project and presentation focused on proteins associated with the terminal process of erythropoiesis (production of erythrocytes, also knows as red blood cells). Wish Aliyah well and send her some good vibes in the comments below! #STEM #STEMCompetition #Science #Engineering #Technology #Mathematics
