                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 13, 2014

  Mr. SWALWELL of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize three 
finalists for the Intel Science Talent Search: Kathy Camenzind and Esha 
Maiti from California High School, and Emily Pang from Dougherty Valley 
High School, all from San Ramon, California in my congressional 
district.
  These bright high school students are among the forty finalists 
selected from over 1,800 entrants in the Intel Science Talent Search, 
which is a competition that challenges students to tackle difficult 
scientific questions. Entrants are judged on the originality and 
creativity of their science research projects.
  I am inspired by the passion Kathy, Esha, and Emily have shown for 
their science projects, which highlight not only their intellect, but 
also their drive and determination to help solve today's most difficult 
problems. Kathy researched and build inexpensive optical tweezers using 
a low power laser and generic microscope; Esha developed a mathematical 
simulator to predict the distribution of secondary tumors in cancer 
patients; and Emily researched immune protein receptors critical to the 
growth and suppression of tumors for cancer therapies.
  Kathy, Esha, and Emily's exceptional work show that we have the best 
and brightest among us in the East Bay.
  Congratualtions again to Kathy, Esha, and Emily. I hope you will 
continue your efforts, and I look forward to hearing about your future 
successes.
