This workshop explains statistical methods designed to determine if your experimental results are real or caused by natural variation. They go over the basic parameters such as average, standard deviation, and variance. They define what a normal distribution is and compare it to a t distribution. They explain what probability is and how it relates to the area under a normal or t distribution. Included are detailed examples using equations to disprove the Null hypothesis and how to use a two sample t test and p values to prove if your data is real or just natural error.  This workshop is designed with a focus on students who have an interest in participating in science fairs. It is the experience of the author that statistical analysis plays a significant role in the experimental report and that judges base their scores heavily on the statistical presentation. These concepts are presented in these books, written by Gerald Bauldock. The Valley Science Fair is based on his son's experiences participating in the Delaware Valley Science Fair. The Case of the Withering Corn is a delightful story about Awa's science project designed to help save her grandfather’s farm. Learn more about these books at Amazon. Kids for Chemistry is the ultimate goal for a STEM education.

I’m ecstatic to share that around three weeks ago now, I completed the Harvard Biostar summer program at Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences! The program was life-changing. It showed me the vast world of bioengineering and all of the mind-blowing things humanity has discovered and created when it comes to biology. If you are interested, the details about the program and what I did are listed under my experiences.

In a world where young minds are brimming with questions about life, about finding not just answers but paths that lead to answers. This is the world I-GENE Life Science Foundation dreams of, and it all began with an idea: the burning desire to illuminate the path of the next generation in life science. Last year, that idea materialised. Driven by a passion to bridge the gap between scientific discovery and youthful potential, I co-founded I-GENE Life Science Foundation . We aren't just another foundation; we are a movement, one with the sole purpose of changing the narratives of life science in the younger generation of Nigeria and the world at large. Because the hope for a brighter tomorrow isn't a distant dream; it's the harvest of the seeds we plant today. I-GENE, like a dedicated gardener, sows the seeds of knowledge, cultivates curiosity, and guides young scientists toward the sun. We believe that when we equip them with the right tools, the right questions, and the right spark – we empower them to take the right steps, not just for their success, but for the betterment of our world through career talks, interactive webinars, and vibrant science fairs, Like it's always said, "the journey of a thousand miles begin with a step" We've taken the first step, many more are yet to be taken.

Witnessing wonder one banana peel at a time: Inspiring tomorrow's scientists at Let It Shine Academy! Making a difference in the world of science starts small, with bright eyes brimming with curiosity. That's why we hosted our first-ever science fair at Let It Shine Academy (LISA), and the energy was electric! ✨ Our budding scientists dove headfirst into the fascinating world of life science, embarking on a quest to extract DNA from everyone's favourite potassium-packed fruit: the banana! From mashing mushy banana pulp to marveling at the tiny threads of life under microscopes, the excitement was palpable. Each step, each giggle, each "Woah!" moment reaffirmed our belief: igniting a passion for science in young minds is worth every ounce of effort. Because who knows? Tomorrow's groundbreaking discoveries, life-saving innovations, and world-changing solutions might just be born from a simple banana and a spark of wonder in a young scientist's eye. And we wouldn't have it any other way! What was your favourite/first science experiment as a kid? Lets read it on the comment section 👇🏾👇🏾 #ScienceFair #LISA #FutureScientists #DNAExtraction #MakingADifference #STEMEducation #science #cell

Are you curious about the cutting-edge fields of science that are shaping our world and beyond? 🌎 On the 5th day of STEM week, we invite you to explore four niche research areas that are pushing the boundaries of knowledge and innovation. 🚀   Computational Biology: This is the study of biological systems and phenomena using mathematical models, algorithms, and computer simulations. Computational biologists can analyze complex data, discover new patterns, and design novel solutions for health, agriculture, and ecology. 💻🧬 Ecopreneurship: This is the practice of entrepreneurs who pursue environmental and social goals through their businesses, such as reducing waste, promoting renewable energy, or supporting local communities. Ecopreneurs can create a positive impact, generate value, and inspire change for a sustainable future. 🌿💰 Cryonics: This is the preservation of living organisms at extremely low temperatures to potentially revive them in the future. Cryonics is based on the hope that future technologies will be able to restore the functions and memories of the preserved individuals. ❄️🕑 Geoengineering: This is the study of the atmospheres of planets outside our solar system to understand their composition and potential habitability. Geoengineers can use advanced tools and methods to investigate the physical and chemical properties of these alien worlds and possibly find signs of life. 🚀🪐   We hope you enjoyed learning about these fascinating and diverse fields of science. We hope you enjoyed STEM week as much as we did and learned something new along the way. 🔬👩🔬

Last Friday, I presented my poster “Improving Shock Wave Modeling in Type Ia Supernovae Simulations” at the Stony Brook University Summer 2024 Research Symposium. In the theoretical double detonation Type Ia model, an explosion in the accreted helium layer on a low-mass white dwarf causes a shock wave to propagate towards and ignite fusion in the carbon-oxygen core. Much of the previous literature is unclear in their methods used to calculate these shock waves, and thus our study sought to better understand them. We find that the behavior of the initial detonation (and subsequently the convergence of the shock wave at the core), is extremely dependent on the amount of carbon and helium mixed in the transition region between the white dwarf star and the accretion layer. This further limits the number of theoretical progenitors of such novae. To learn more, you can view my full poster at my website! Lastly, I thank Stony Brook University for providing funding for my proposal through a URECA Summer Research Fellowship!
