Fireplace training Nobel laureates in the US

Thanks to a special program for science subjects, a high school in the United States has created the most Nobel laureates in the country.

With blue doors and brown corridors, Bronx High School is no different from other high schools in New York City, USA. But in fact it has been dubbed the 'factory of Nobel laureates in science' . No school in the US has more Nobel laureates than the Bronx, the BBC reported.

Since 1972, seven alumni of the Bronx have won the Nobel Prize in Physics and one has won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

If you walk through the main gate of the school, visitors will see a poster with photos of former Nobel laureates. The only person not present on the poster was Robert F. Lefkowitz, who won the 2012 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. He studied here in the 1950s and was the first former student of the Chemistry Nobel school.

The descendants of immigrants to the US are also studying here. Elyssa Amanda Ruiz, a 17-year-old female student, is the son of an immigrant couple. I'm doing immunological tests.

'I am simulating the effect of a protein on acute blood cancer in the immune system,' Ruiz describes the experiment, while also explaining complex scientific concepts.

Bronx received the same funding as other public schools in New York City, but they had a special education program for science. All students can find a guide and are allowed to use the lab to conduct research in the fields of biology, mechanics, computer science and social science.

Dr. Jean Donahue, assistant to the management board of the science training program, said that students participate in projects like projects in practice.

'They must study and investigate to discover new knowledge. In many cases, they also publish findings in scientific journals , 'she said.

David Politzer, who won the Nobel Prize in Physics, attended the Bronx School. During a return to school, he told Ian Kaplan, a 17-year-old student, that: 'Follow a field where your child is gifted while others find it difficult.'

Kaplan is using computer models to predict who won the presidential and vice presidential debates.

Another student, Valerio Zhang, is investigating the effect of a protein on prostate cancer cell growth. He did not feel surprised that the Bronx School created so many Nobel Prize winners. However, Zhang appreciated Robert F. Lefkowitz, because he was the first to bring the Nobel Prize in Chemistry to the school.

Becoming a student of a prestigious public school in the US is a big challenge and a dream for talented young people who want to be scientists.

The school's annual selection process is very strict. Last year, only 5% of the candidates taking the entrance exam won their place in the school.
