  Ms. SANCHEZ. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to honor eight undergraduate 
science students from the University of California, Irvine for their 
award-winning work at the student poster competition at the American 
Association for the Advancement of Science's (AAAS) Annual Meeting.
  Biological sciences majors Rafael Gonzalez, Matilde Gonzalez, Sylvia 
Jaramillo, and psychology major Bonnie Sue Poytress won first place 
recognition for their posters. Biological science majors Cheryse 
Furman, Kathi Lynn Hamor, David Hernandez, and Sarah Lopez earned 
honorable mentions for their entries.
  The AAAS is the world's largest organization of scientists. The AAAS 
Annual Meeting offered an interdisciplinary blend of more than 130 
symposia, plenary and topical lectures, poster presentations and 
exhibits. The poster session included about 300 posters presented by 
national and international undergraduate and graduate students.
  Scientific posters provide a visual snapshot of a research project, 
using a brief amount of text and extensive visuals to explain the work. 
These posters are usually presented with others of a similar topic and 
are judged for the quality and originality of the data.
  I am extremely proud to represent such talented minds! Please join me 
in honoring these eight UCI undergraduate students for their hard work 
and achievements.
