WHAT IS STATE SCIENCE DAY?
For more than 60 years — and now with more than 60,000
alumni — State Science Day is the pinnacle of student
originated, inquiry-based science education for Ohio’s
students. The academic equivalent of a state athletic
championship, this year’s event is one of the largest of its
kind in the nation. Drawing upon a base of over 35,000
students at more than 1,000 local school science fairs, more
than 1,000 students in grades 5–12 from nearly 300 schools
will be evaluated this year on their scientific research and
communication skills. They will compete for nearly 100
different scholarships and awards valued at close to 1 million
dollars. Individuals will be recognized and several sponsors
will also make awards to members of team research
projects.
First held in 1949, the 67th Annual State Science Day is
sponsored by: The Ohio Academy of Science, American
Electric Power, The Ohio Environmental Education Fund,
Boehringer Ingelheim Roxane, Inc., Battelle, Ethicon, and.

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL EXHIBITORS
Sometimes in the excitement of the sponsored awards
and ratings we lose track of the fact that everyone at State
Science Day is an achiever. Exhibitors were chosen first by
their schools and then by their Jr. Academy Council districts
as having superior projects in their respective geographic
areas. The investment of time in pursuing an independent
research project in science pays generous returns to each
student. By honoring hundreds of projects with close to
1 million dollars in sponsored awards and scholarships,
we seek to honor all exhibitors for their hard work. Please
accept our sincere congratulations for your superior
work and our encouragement to continue your interest in
scientific research. Thank you for participating in this year’s
State Science Day. If you are a senior, we extend to you
our best wishes in your future endeavors and hope to have
the opportunity to welcome you to Ohio State next year.
For those of you who are not seniors, we hope you will be
coming back to State Science Day next year.

Battelle
More than 80 years ago, the first group of Ethicon scientists
and researchers started to think about healing in a new way.
Their questions led to pioneering sutures that advanced
surgeons’ work and discoveries that enhanced patients’ lives
Today, we produce much more than sutures. Working with
our customers and partners, we bring meaningful solutions to
every area we touch. To wound closure and general surgery.
To women’s health and aesthetic medicine. To minimally
invasive procedures and metabolic science. While our world
and the field of healthcare have changed, our passion to
make a difference for patients remains. As we reach toward
every corner of the globe, we remain committed to advancing
surgical care and extending patients’ access to health care
across the globe.
Every day, the people of Battelle apply science and technology
to solving what matters most. At major technology centers
and national laboratories around the world, Battelle conducts
research and development, designs and manufactures
products, and delivers critical services for government and
commercial customers. Headquartered in Columbus, Ohio,
Battelle serves customers in the national security, health and
life sciences, and energy and environmental industries.
At Ethicon, we continue to take pride in our heritage.
We were founded on innovation and will continue exploring
ways to improve surgical outcomes. Improving patient care
continues to inspire us to work smarter, partner in more
meaningful ways, and never be afraid to imagine a better world
by asking the one simple question that started it all. What if...?
www.ethicon.com
Battelle also is one of the nation’s leading charitable trusts
focusing on societal and economic impact, vigorously
supporting and promoting science, technology, engineering
and mathematics (STEM) education. Battelle believes STEM
education is an urgent national priority that requires bold goals,
higher standards and greater accountability in our educational
system to better prepare our nation’s K-12 students for careers
in science and technology that ultimately enhance the U.S.
innovation enterprise. www.battelle.org.

change the way surgery was done forever? And in doing so,
change the world for the better?
