                         Monday, April 6, 2026

  Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
Connor Hill of Port Matilda, Pennsylvania. Connor recently won the 
Regeneron Science Talent Search competition.
  The Regeneron Science Talent Search is one of the oldest math and 
science competitions in our nation. Each year, high school seniors 
across the country are invited to compete.
  For 84 years, this competition has inspired students to address 
global issues. Connor is a senior at Delta High School in State 
College, Pennsylvania. He was among the 40 finalists who were invited 
to Washington, D.C. earlier this month to present their final projects. 
The 40 finalists received more than $1.8 million in awards. Connor 
received the top award of $250,000 dollars.
  Connor's research solved a long-standing mathematical mystery by 
identifying every possible ``noble polyhedron.'' This is a shape where 
every face and corner is identical. Connor created a computer program 
to analyze how these shapes can exist. He discovered 146 unique 
examples.
  Congratulations to Connor on this amazing accomplishment.
