The annual celebration of scientific achievement highlights the researchers that form the groundwork for future neuroscience discovery.
Gelman was awarded a $2,000 college scholarship for his advanced science research project, “The Concurrent Effects of Exercise and Dietary Restriction on a Drosophila melanogaster Model of Spinal Muscular Atrophy.”
He is one of five students across the nation awarded this designation.
