Science Saves the World (and Santa's syrup recipe) in winning video for College of Science Video Competition

Lexi Timpone won first place for her science-themed video, three videos also recognized

The annual College of Science Video Competition was once again a success. Student-made videos depicting themes around science were submitted to the competition last semester. The videos are two minutes or less in length and the competition, held during the fall semester, is open to all students in the College of Science. This year’s themes were:

  • Life a life of discovery
  • The science of everyday life
  • Making science simple: the importance of science communication
  • Breaking barriers: diversity in science
  • Science saves the world

Prizes were awarded to each of the top three videos. The first place video won $400, the second place video won $300 and the third place video won $200. Videos were judged based on audience appeal, creativity, depiction of the chosen theme and adherence to eligibility requirements.

First place: Buddy Becomes a Scientist

The winner of this year's video competition is biology undergraduate Lexi Timpone. In the video, there is a maple syrup shortage in the North Pole and the elves aren't getting the proper nutrients they need to make toys. Santa sends Buddy to college to become a scientist and find the chemical makeup of maple syrup so they can create the perfect recipe and save Christmas.

Second place: Science Saves the World

Katherine Yeh and Kylie James, both biology students, and Christopher Yeh and Matthew Flashner, both microbiology and immunology students, filmed "Science Saves the World." In their video, science and cancer battle it out. Who will win?

Third place: Living Immersion

Sergio Garcia, a biology major, Aidan Trobough, a biology major, and Luke Rhodes, a kinesiology major, created a video to show how understanding the complexity and interconnected nature of even the simplest things can lead to greater opportunities and appreciation for the world around us.

Fourth place: Science is Everywhere

WiSE students Emily Hohman, an environmental engineering major, Rylee Frey, a biology major, and Rachel Kutsunai, a chemistry major, created a video to show how pervasive science is in our lives.

Congratulations to all the winners of this year's competition!
