<TD ><B>Tiffany Chao</B><br>Tiffany Chao is a 12th grader that just graduated from Blue Valley West High School. She also has attended CAPS for four semester where she learned about biology and iGem. Tiffany is also called "Chao Chao" because she has many other friends named Tiffany. Altough she is learning about science research and is on the iGem Team, Tiffany will be going to Johnson County Community College for her undergrad and the University of Kansas to study pharmaceutical. <br><br><br></TD>

<TD ><B>Austin Chick</B> <br>Austin Chick, a.k.a. Master Mix, has a strong passion for the world of biology. He spends the majority of his time in the lab whether it be learning the next big experiment or messing around with the 3D printer. In the short time when he is not in the lab, he spends his time preparing produce at Hy-Vee, playing video games, and watching romance movies with his girlfriend. The Master Mix is truly one of a kind.<br><br><br><br></TD>

<TD ><B> Chloe Ortbals </B><br> Chloe Ortbals or better known as McFlow. From her Western blotting skills and to her m,astery of her pipetting skils she has it all on lock down. In her free time she hands with friends, listens to music, works at amc and goes running on long and tiring distances. She is consered about animals and takes an intrest in research of the cancer type. Chloe is the McFlowy.  <br><br><br></TD>

<TD ><B> Amy McClain  </B><br> Amy is a student at Blue Valley High School and the Center for Advanced Professional Studies. She always enjoyed her math and science classes as a little kid. Doing hands-on activities interested her and is the reason she loves science experiments. She wants to pursue this passion when she gets older on a broader and more important scale. This will be Amy's second visit back to Boston this year and hopes to have another unforgettable experience! <br></TD>

<TD ><B> Nithin Saripalli</B><br> My name is Nithin Saripalli. I go to Blue Valley Southwest and I am a sophomore. I am a tech enthusiast and enjoy working with technology when I am not doing science and homework. I love science because I like to know how the world around me works. I like biology because it is the study of life and it opens up a lot of opportunities. I am interested in iGEM because I like working with science. I like biotechnology and iGEM allows me to participate in Biotechnology. I would like to be in a career in Biotechnology. I do not know what college or exact career I will be in, but I still have time to decide. <br><br><br></TD>

<TD ><B> Ria Shome </B><br> My name is Ria Shome also known as Winkie. Ria goes to Blue Valley North High School and is going to be a senior in the fall. She enjoys art, volunteering, and participates in many school clubs such as National Honors Society and KAY (community service) club. Traveling and participating in sports are things Ria do greatly. Science has always interested Ria and after taking a molecular biology course, Ria has learned about iGEM and was excited to join. After graduating high school, Ria plans to major in either psychology or molecular biology and doesn't currently know where she plans to attend college. She also plans to be an orthopedic surgeon and continue research in her future. <br></TD>

<TD ><B> Jai Singh </B><br> Greetings! My name is Jai, and you can provide whatever nickname you prefer for me, as long as it's not hurtful, or else I will hurt you. Anyway, I am in grade 10 and attend Blue Valley North High School. I enjoy reading novels, especially science fiction and fantasy. I also read anime, watch anime, and draw anime (Yes, I am some Nipponophilic dork). I also like to learn new things, such as other languages, watercolor, and digital animation for entertainment purposes. However, another interest I have is science, specifically biology. Whenever I gain more scientific wisdom, I further develop a perspective that shows the universe as a place more interesting, grandiose, and intricate than what an average, pessimistic perspective describes. For me, science does immerse me in reality, but it instead of negating life for me, it makes me feel more optimistic and joyous for the world I live in. I also like biology after being inspired by the biodiversity of all the organisms in the world. Biology has helped me feel grateful for the world I dwell in, for I take in heart that there is a large variety of organisms of different shapes, sizes, abilities, and patterns. And not only do I like iGEM for it focuses predominantly on biology, but that I get to join a team of people who show as much interest as me, and who are humble, respectful, and compassionate towards each other, which I cannot find much of in other STEM competitions. I also find interest in the projects, for the topics we are assigned introduce me to new, interesting information, and it is always something that sounds perplexing, creative, and astonishing, unlike other projects I have done, whose titles and topics are too obscure for my taste. As you can assume from my interest in science, I plan to be some type of biologist. However, I do not want to spend my future career solely on writing and publishing research papers. Obtaining an interest in visual art and digital animation, I want to release my imagination with these tools as my side job, and possibly use the arts to help educate the joys and wonders of science to the community.<br><br><br></TD>

<TD ><B> Alexis Vance </B><br> This woman of many words is a sophomore at Blue Valley High (the Originals). This is what she has to say for herself:

<br></TD>

<TD><B> Lousie Yang  </B><br> Louise Yang will be a senior at Blue Valley North High school, however her friends call her Weezer. She is an avid Netflix user and fiction book reader when she has free time. She's still trying to figure out her future plans for college and her major, but she knows that it includes science. Possible paths are either neuroscience or biochemistry. She had a great time participating in a protein modeling project, and is excited to learn all about biofuels during iGEM. <br> <br></TD>
