On Wednesday, Anika Chebrolu from Frisco, Texas was named the winner of the 3M Young Scientist Challenge after discovering a molecule that can selectively bind to the spike protein of the SARS-COV-2 virus, which causes COVID-19.
The competition opened in December 2019 and invited students in grades five to eight to find a unique solution to an everyday problem. Anika won $25,000, a special destination trip, and the title of “America’s Top Young Scientist” for her achievement.https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/medical/14-year-old-texas-girl-wins-25000-for-her-research-on-possible-cure-for-covid-19/ar-BB1abzuU
